At IMTS 2016, CGTech will introduce the Vericut version 8 software for simulation, verification, and optimization of CNC machining, including drilling and trimming of composite parts, waterjet cutting, riveting, robotics, mill/turn, and parallel kinematics. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with CAM systems.
This simulation software detects collisions and near-misses between all machine tool components such as axis slides, heads, turrets, rotary tables, spindles, tool changers, fixtures, workpieces, cutting tools, and other user-defined objects.
Users can also set up “near-miss zones” around components to check for close calls and detect overtravel errors. Machine movements and material replacement can even be simulated while stepping or playing backwards.
New features include Toolpath Trace, which creates a wireframe of the motion path that can then be measured. No stock model is needed to generate a path. Picking a path in the wireframe automatically sets the simulation to the current line in the NC program.
