Machining Simulation set-up is faster
Machining software tool allows users to quickly develop their own application and has a file format fully describing a machine tool that can be shared and standardised
Supplier of a leading toolkit for CNC simulation and verification, MachineWorks, has released its latest version, MachineWorks v6.5, including the new MachineBuilder, which can speed up and simplify the whole integration process. The MachineBuilder is a quick-start tool that helps integrate the MachineWorks libraries.
Furthermore, MachineWorks v6.5 sees the introduction of a file format fully describing a machine tool that can be shared and standardised.
Using the file format in combination with the MachineWorks MachineBuilder, it is possible to create an application that simulates a machine in as little as one day.
MachineWorks MachineBuilder allows users to quickly develop their own application, with its own unique look and feel that can sit either on the controller or a standalone PC.
However the MachineBuilder is not only about building models, 'The beauty of this product is that you still get all MachineWorks functions in an easier-to-use format,' said sales and marketing director of MachineWorks, Mike Nicholson.
'If you want to create more complex applications and expose more functionality, MachineWorks will be with you every step of the way to make sure you get the maximum performance from your application'.
Simulating the job on the machine in real time is in great demand because it allows operators to have a visual check of what's happening at any time at the machine.
This is why MachineWorks has put a lot of effort into achieving faster 5-axis cuts.
Other enhancements within MachineWorks' v6.5 that have had a warm welcome by our partners are more stable use of algorithms, simpler programming of full machine simulation and wider support of complex machining.
Since Okuma developed its collision avoidance system using MachineWorks engines we are seeing more and more embedded simulation.
DMG's Virtual Machine integrates geometry, kinematics and dynamics of real DMG machines as well as CNC and PLC functions in one continuous process chain.
'If you visited EMO, you probably saw DMG's Virtual Machine simulation,' said Nicholson.
'DMG takes advantage of MachineWorks' true-solid modelling engine and can represent complex multi-tasking machines with integrated material removal'.
Hurco machines with their twin-screen controllers are a classic example of MachineWorks simulation embedded in a CNC controller system.
Hurco has made a success of MachineWorks technology by creating an application that can be tailored for the growing demand of simulation and verification of programs created on conversational controllers.
This reassures operators that their programming/editing is error-free before running the machine live.
MachineWorks partners have integrated a whole range of simulation solutions from simple simulation of the tool and stock to complex simulation of multi-tasking machines with unlimited axes.
MachineWorks can simulate turning, milling, mill-turn, grinding, water jet, laser, EDM and robotics with any type of tool.
* About MachineWorks - MachineWorks Technology sets the standard for CNC simulation and verification component software in the industry.
Our toolkit has been adopted by software and hardware OEMs looking for a solution that combines speed, accuracy and stability.
It is ideally suited for clash detection in complex machining and full machine simulation.
