NCSIMUL 4CAM Capabilities
"Hybrid" Programming
- Generate CNC program from diversified input data: CAM files in neutral format (APT/CL-data), G-code files (Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, and Num), or native 3D CADfiles
- Unique programming flexibility through the mix of input sources
- Modification or enhancement for recycled programs by reusing existing APT or G-code files, and manufacturing process optimization with a simple copy/paste action
- Partial or total toolpaths replacement, from imported APT or G-code files, by new toolpaths calculated by NCSIMUL 4CAM
Error-free programming in native CNC code
- Capitalization of G-code modifications (e.g. machine proven out ...) directly into NCSIMUL 4CAM
- Single file tracks the part machining history, including the resources used and the machining steps
- Edition traceability
No more external post-processor
- Integrated CNC processor, natively calculating the CNC program based on the logic of the machine and the CNC controller
- Optimal linking between machining sequences, tilted plan, polar mode, spatial correction...
- Withdraw the usual post-processors development costs and setup
- User friendly format output customization (program header format, for example)
One-click reprogramming
- Change the CNC machine targeted in one click, to automatically generate a new G-code program on-the-fly
- Take into consideration the kinematics, CNC controller format and machine origins
- Adjust the tool storage magazine configuration and cutting conditions to be compatible with the new machine
- Automatic and optimal links recalculation between machining sequences (e.g. shortest distances, avoid collisions between the different elements, tools and machine axes.)
- Ensure a total flexibility of production tools
Rest material dynamic management
- Advanced programming comfort by viewing, at any time, the machined rough stock status
- Evaluation of remaining work area to machine the final part, including full 5-axis machining
- Saving the rest stock for a fast visualization by a CNC operator
- STEP format export to be read by CAM software
