Elements that must be considered in order to simulate as close as possible from real machining conditions :
NC Controller
NCSIMUL Machine takes into account NC Controller logics :
- Decodes NCTape ISO code programs
- G and M codes
- Tool compensations (diameter, length)
- NC machine sub-routines, loops, macros and variables
- NC machine, part and program origins
- Takes into account NC Controller logics
- Cycle times (block by block, cumulative)
NC Machine-tool
NCSIMUL Machine takes into account the main NC machine parameters :
- Kinematics
- No limitation depending on number of axis
- Complex kinematics, parallel (tricept, hexapod)
- Machine limits
- Axis courses
- Maximum feed rate
- Speed
- Power
- Axis acceleration
NC Operator actions
NCSIMUL Machine takes into account the operators actions :
- Initial positioning of the part on the table
- Clamp insertion / removal during machining
- Part rotation / translation between 2 programs
- Manual tool mounting possible
- Operator data entry
- Numerical data entry
- Validation (yes/no)
