All-in-One CNC Software for the Smart Factory
August 1, 2016
SPRING Technologies will show visitors at IMTS 2016 how its NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS 10 all-in-one digital suite can support the "smart" factory. The company is focusing on NCSIMUL MACHINE and NCSIMUL CAM.
NCSIMUL MACHINE
NCSIMUL MACHINE is a CNC software solution providing realistic simulation of the machining process. Users can simulate, verify, optimize and review machine programs based on the actual characteristics of the machine tools. Three-dimensional graphics help to avoid machining crashes while algorithms and embedded process-based knowledge enable cutting conditions to be optimized. NCSIMUL MACHINE verifies programs in three steps: investigates and corrects coding errors, simulates to locate collisions and correct motion errors and validates the program. The benefits include reducing the time spent on debugging programs; preventing the risk of spindle collision, tool breakage and scrap; and improving cycle times and process optimization efficiencies.
SPRING Technologies has also addressed the increased use of composite materials in manufacturing by developing NCSIMUL Composites. New algorithms in NCSIMUL MACHINE enable the simulation of fiber lay-ups with the initial media, the already laid material and roller position taken into account. The software offers a realistic display of the complete 3-D model of the final part, selectively displaying each layer.
NCSIMUL CAM
This module helps streamline the existing CAM process to simplify CNC programming. It allows users to change, in one click, the target machine without any reprogramming efforts. From the main CAD/CAM program or machine controller G-code, NCSIMUL CAM generates programs for any machine tools that are verified and optimized without an external post-processor. It takes into account the kinematics of the machine tool, machine controller, cutting tools and conditions. This efficiency can result in lead-time reduction from prototype to production and in repurposing legacy programs to new machines.
Silvère Proisy, North American Operations Director for SPRING Technologies, will be touching on all of these topics during the IMTS Conference on Monday, September 12 at 11:00 AM in Room W194-A with a presentation entitled, "Boost Your Traditional Programming Process: Simplicity and Flexibility."
