VERICUT Version 5.1 adds the ability to simulate and verify mill-turn machining and simultaneously displays the entire machine tool and cut stock.
Software eliminates manual NC program proving out
Using NC verification and optimisation software eliminates the process of manually proving-out NC programs. It reduces scrap loss and rework and protects against damaging crashes.
It reduces scrap loss and rework.
The program also optimizes NC programs in order to produce the most efficient tool paths possible that both save time and produce higher quality surface finish.
VERICUT supports G-codes or native CAM output to simulate milling, drilling, turning, wire EDM, and mill/turn machining operations.
The CATIA V5-to-VERICUT Interface follows the successful VERICUT interface for CATIA V4, and provides a smooth upgrade path for CATIA users who have transitioned to CATIA V5.
"This is a significant enhancement for VERICUT software and the CATIA community," said Bill Hasenjaeger, Product Marketing Manager at CGTech.
"The CATIA V5-to-VERICUT Interface tightly integrates the two programs to help users create the most accurate and efficient NC programs possible.
It makes verifying and optimising CNC programs and simulating CNC machines a much easier and more efficient process." Users can verify individual operations, a series of operations, or a set of complete NC programs.
All stock, fixture, and design geometry is automatically transferred to VERICUT in the correct orientation, along with NC program, tooling, machine and control data and other simulation parameters.
VERICUT runs independently of the CATIA process, so you can continue working in CATIA version 5 while simulating and optimizing your NC programs.
With VERICUT as your simulation package, you can also verify and optimise CNC programs from other CAM systems in CL or post-processed G-code format.
VERICUT runs under Windows and UNIX.
