Machining Software offers simulation capabilites.October 11, 2007 -
NCL multi-axis machining software is available with NCL/MS (Machine Simulation) module, which lets programmers visualize entire machining process offline as it will occur on actual machine in order to view potential errors/collisions. Offering full simulation of machine and part via solid graphical models, software detects all possible collisions between machine tool components - axis slides, rotary tables, spindles, tool changers, fixtures, work pieces - and user-defined objects.

Machine Simulation Software
- Enhanced tool path and CNC machine movement -
Newport Beach, California - October 1, 2007 - NCCS, the developer of NCL multi-axis machining software for the aerospace, automotive and turbo machinery industry, announces new simulation features resulting in shorter setup times and improving productivity giving companies a greater cost savings.
Enhanced NCL/MS (Machine Simulation)
o Collisions are detected between all machine tool components including axis slides, heads, rotary tables, spindles, tool changers, fixtures, work pieces, cutting tools, and user-defined objects. This improves productivity by allowing programmers to quickly detect errors before it is run on the machine, which is critical in the use of 5-axis machines.
o A newly enhanced simulation function has been added to give the programmer a full simulation of the machine and the part by simply creating the simulated solid model of the machine and its machined components. This feature is designed to eliminate costly downtime on the floor in addition to potential damages to the expensive machinery.
According to David Schultz, NCCS' Manager of CAD/CAM Applications, "The NCL/MS module enables the user to visualize the entire machining process offline as it will occur on the actual machine. This allows programmers to foresee any potential errors and/or collisions that may occur".
