SIMNC Turning

  • simulates the simultaneous tooling of multiple turrets on one or more spindles
  • visualizes the dynamic material removal as well as non-cutting processes
  • detects collisions and violations of travel limits
  • supports a great variety of machine types including Swiss-type lathes and Mill-Turn centers

Improve your whole manufacturing cycle by testing NC programs off-line on a PC on a Virtual NC machine tool

SIMNC Turning

Advantages

SIMNC Turning is a powerful tool to simulate NC code for machining of complex parts on complex machines offline:

Reducing

  • machine setup time
  • proove-out time
  • machine tool crashes
  • scrapped parts
  • cycle time

Increasing

  • machine tool utilization
  • product quality
  • process quality
  • productivity

SIMNC Turning - Non-cutting processes

SIMNC Turning accurately simulates Non-Cutting processes relevant to verify the complete production cycle

Simulated Non-Cutting processes include:

as well as the use of

Non-cutting processes – part transfer Non-cutting processes – bar movement
Non-cutting processes – complex tool changes Non-cutting processes – automatic load / unload
Non-cutting processes – stationary support Non-cutting processes – tailstock

SIMNC Turning - Collision detection

SIMNC Turning performs in-depth tests for crashes and collisions to assure process stability and hence to protect the machine tool investment

Conditions checked include:

as well as

Collision detection – Collision between tool and work piece Collision detection – Collision between tool and tool carrier
Collision detection – Collision between tools mounted on different tool carriers Collision detection – Collision between arbitrary machine components Collision detection – Collision between tool holder and work piece (undercutting) Collision detection – Collision between tool shank and work piece (overcutting)
