NC Cutting Simulation [Production Module]

The long-awaited NC simulation software in the industry (cutting process load simulation)

By using the Production Module to accurately predict cutting loads from NC data outputted by CAM, and further smoothing them to optimal cutting loads, it enables improvements in the quality of processed products, extends tool lifespan, and significantly reduces machining time. - Machining processing (supporting 3-axis and 5-axis) - NC lathe processing support - NC tool path codes (G-code and CL data) - Cutting load calculations based on Semi-Empirical methods - Tool GUI capable of modeling complex geometries - A rich material database with approximately 140 types - Simple creation of custom materials - Optimization of NC tool path codes based on load smoothing methods - Diverse condition inputs during optimization calculations - Evaluation of unique parameters (such as load per unit length) - Consideration of tool deflection and workpiece deformation

basic information

The Production Module is an NC simulation that analyzes NC tool path codes considering the material properties of the workpiece and the precise tool shape. It helps to better understand machining with machining centers using NC tool path codes and identifies information that can be improved. Through a cutting load smoothing method aimed at reducing machining time, it provides optimized NC tool path codes to the user.

Applications/Examples of results

◇ Cutting resistance values of various materials Select materials from a database of approximately 140 types, ranging from carbon steel, cast steel, stainless steel, and aluminum to difficult-to-cut materials like nickel and titanium, and perform analysis. In addition to the main cutting force, radial cutting force, and axial cutting force, cutting resistance values in the X, Y, and Z axes are calculated. ◇ Machine power and torque By accurately calculating cutting resistance values, it is possible to evaluate the machine power and tool torque required for processing. ◇ Force per unit length Evaluate force per unit length as a parameter for assessing tool wear. ◇ Consideration of tool deflection It is possible to consider tool deflection based on radial cutting force. The variation in tool deflection due to the tool protrusion from the holder and the tool material can be evaluated. ◇ Smoothing of cutting load and reduction of processing time Output NC tool path code that adjusts feed rate to match the cutting load value input by the user (smoothing of cutting load), thereby enabling a reduction in processing time.
