NCL V10.1 to Be Exhibited at Westec 2015


Irvine, CALIFORNIA – NCCS, the developer of NCL multi-axis machining software, used extensively in the aerospace, automotive and turbo-machinery industries, will be participating in the Westec 2015 Exposition taking place September 15-17, 2015 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California. NCCS (booth #934) will showcase the latest version of their flagship product NCL V10.1 as well as other state-of-the-art manufacturing solutions including PostWorks, an advanced multi-axis universal postprocessor and NCL/IPV which provides high performance, realistic, simultaneous material removal and CNC machine tool simulation.



New features added to NCL V10.1 to help reduce programming time and increase tool path efficiency include the ability for the user to interactively define the interface for User-defined routines. This tool allows users to create their own machining features and add them into NCL as if they were built-in features of NCL. The look and feel and functionality of the new routine is all defined by the user.



Interface Design for User-defined Routine

NCL V10.1 includes the ability to automatically determine the boundaries of a pocket and whether the pocket is open or closed. The tool path calculations will be adjusted to overlap the open boundaries of the pocket and stay within the walls of the pocket. Fillets between the floor and walls of the pocket are also respected.



New in PostWorks

The rotary axes setup in PostWorks, NCCS’ Universal 10-axis post-procesor, can now be defined to rotate about any given vector, allowing for the definition of more complex rotary table/head type machines in PostWorks. The definition of the table/head configuration can be setup using the MakePost interface for PostWorks, or dynamically using the powerful Macro capabilities built into PostWorks, thereby adding support for interchangeable heads on the machine tool.



Table Rotations about Any Orientation

PostWorks accepts centerline files from most every CAM system on the market today and with the latest release it can combine the input from different CAM systems and merge them into a single output Machine Control Data file, allowing users with multiple CAM systems to use the features strongest in their CAM systems to machine the different sections of a part and to merge them automatically within PostWorks.



Support for the TORRESDRILL (Stringer Drilling) custom multi-axis/multi-spindle machine used in the drilling of structural components has been added. This machine has separate milling and drilling heads, where the drilling head has two sets of linear axes along with two spindles and a separate clip holder axis (Q). This machine can also be simulated in the NCL/IPV Verification/Machine Simulation product from NCL.

These key new features of NCL and PostWorks will help companies get the most out of their software investment by increasing programming proficiency, in addition to improving the quality and accuracy of their NC programs.



“NCCS is dedicated to constantly improving our software technology, giving the end user what they want”, says Don Schultz, President of NCCS. “The latest release of NCL is yet another example of the entrepreneurial spirit that has made the company successful."
