Analysis of the NC program |
- ISO decoding (5 to 10 MB/min) supporting structured programs, variables, cycles, macro calls, with an unlimited choice of commercially available NC controllers
- Tool path preview before simulation; rapid firstlevel analysis (incorrect program origin, etc.)
- Automatic detection of programming errors (ISO syntax, out-of-range motion, compensation errors, etc.)
- Integrated ISO program editor for on-line modification
- Precise and reliable estimations of cycle times
|  |
Material removal and machine simulation |
- Material removal on a solid model for all types of machining
- Total simulation of the «machine-part pair» with detection of all collision types in a single process
- Detection of machining errors (rapid motion, spindle stopped, part marked, etc.)
- 3D viewing operations (rotate, zoom, pan) independent of program size, or the complexity of the part or program
- Probing
|  |
Dimensional analysis |
- Dimensional analysis of the part (thickness, point coordinates, curvature, drilling, internal turning diameter, list of points, etc.)
- Quick, precise comparison between the machined part and the original CAD model
- Dynamic 3D cross-section and exported 2D cross-section
|  |
Analysis and optimisation of cutting conditions |
- Analysis of cutting parameters for each section in a block
- Generation of alarm logs based on user-defined criteria (e.g.: maximum cut depth, etc.)
- Optimisation of approach and retract motion (air cutting reduction)
- Optimisation of cutting parameters according to the tool-material pair
- Display of the tool path based on feeds
- Graphic comparison between the initial program and the optimised program
- Rewriting of the ISO program based on optimal feeds and spindle rotations to be used during machining
