Irvine, California - NCCS has announced that the latest version of their universal postprocessor, PostWorks, is capable of reading and processing Mastercam nci files. PostWorks is a high-end universal postprocessor which generates precise NC code for a wide variety of machines including mills, lathes, and multi-tasking machines. In addition, PostWorks is compatible with all popular CNC controls including Heidenhain, Siemens, and Fanuc.
Mastercam users can benefit from PostWorks ability to convert complex 5-axis tool paths to NC code that efficiently controls the movement and speed of sophisticated multi-axis machines. For example, PostWorks' unique look-ahead function automatically reduces excessive rotary axis movement and prevents potential machine over travel which are both common problems with certain rotary axis configurations.
Many companies use a variety of CAM systems. PostWorks provides a single postprocessor solution thereby eliminating the need to develop duplicate postprocessors for each CAM system. PostWorks is compatible with all major CAM systems including CATIA, NCL, and UG.
Add-ons to PostWorks include sophisticated simulation software that simultaneously and quickly simulates the material removal process and machine movement while performing interference checking between all relevant components of the machining environment.
David Schultz, NCCS' Manager of CAD/CAM Applications says, "We are excited about making this technology available to the Mastercam user community and have received very positive feedback from early adopters".
