Machine simulation

We provide a complete machine simulation for the milling of complex moulds. This simulation covers a full collision check. Collisions are not only identified between tool and work piece, but also between all collision relevant machine parts. All that is based on the postprocecssed nc-data, which is send directly to the machine, so even faults from the postprocessor are certainly to be detected.

One of the most important factors for the usage of a machine simulation is the calculation speed by which common nc-programs are checked for collisions. In this point there are grave differences between the systems on the market. Check NCspeed's efficiency for yourself. Watch a processing example



Try the machine simulation on your Computer. Download a 3D example simulation here. The application runs without an NCspeed license. Or send us your nc-programs. We will create a demo of the machine simulation and return you a real time video or an application, which you can run on your Computer.

The machine simulations features

• photo-realistic simulation of the whole machine including all kinematics from translational and rotatory axes
• Complete collision check for all parts of the machine, especially for approach, retract and tool change movements
• Calculation with graphic feedback, or in background like a batch job
• Collision check is based on the nc-code, independend from the CAM-system
• Open format for the machine definition. The setup of the machine can be done by FORMTEC, or the user can create/modify machines itself.
• very fast calculation
