MachineWorks' latest development efforts are aimed at making full machine simulation more accessible to OEM manufacturers.
Multi-axis machines, mill-turn machines and complex machines are more widely used nowadays. Having full machine simulation in CAM systems is a must but increasingly, machine tool manufacturers want to see on their CNC controllers the same level of graphics and clash detection for full machine simulation that they see off-line on a CAM system.
MachineWorks has pioneered full machine simulation on the CNC controller however setting up and operating full machine simulation is often a labour-intensive process.
This is why MachineWorks has developed a top layer that allows the user to simulate with the same degree of flexibility that was possible before but with a much easier way of handling the various elements of the machining envelope. Developers can handle machines, tool libraries, work assemblies and jobs with little effort.
At EMO Hannover 2013, 16-21 September, the MachineWorks team will be showing the ease of use of the new full machine simulation higher lever API on stand J25, hall 25.
