Newport Beach, California - January 01, 2006 NCCS will be exhibiting its advanced multi-axis machining software in the WESTEC 2006 Advanced Productivity Exposition (APEX), taking place on March 27 ~ 30, 2006 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California. NCCS will showcase the latest version of its sophisticated Computer-Aided Manufacturing software, NCL V9.5 in booth #2971.
"While NCL has always offered the most comprehensive 5-axis simultaneous contouring capabilities on the market, NCL V9.5 raises the bar to a new level", says David Schultz, NCCS' Manager of CAD/CAM Applications."
Time Saving Enhancements
Among the dozens of time saving enhancements included in NCL V9.5 are the following new capabilities:
o Quick Profiles: A new interface allows multi- axis contouring of a series of surfaces with a few clicks of the mouse. Automatic profiling of 3D curves, with multi-axis tool control, has also been added to support complex engraving operations and to provide additional ease and flexibility for general profile operations.
o Roughing strategies for large components: Tactics have been added to reduce machine cycle time by allowing the user to specify machining zones with the option to machine to final depth within each zone. The user also has control of the order in which zones are machined and the order in which regions within each zone are machined.
o Multi-axis roughing: New strategies have been added that allow 5-axis rough machining of non- prismatic components. The ability to access undercut and contoured areas results in reduced machine time and a consistent material allowance for subsequent finishing operations.
Our focus has been to add capabilities that reduce both programming time and cycle time, while continuing our commitment to provide unparalleled flexibility and tool control", said Mr. Schultz.
Tools For Quality Improvement
NCCS will also be featuring its tool path and machine simulation software, NCL/IPV, and its universal post processor, PostWorks.
NCL/IPV simulates the metal removal process and the movement of CNC machines, simultaneously! NCL/IPV realistically simulates the exact movements of CNC machines and automatically detects collisions between all machine tool components. NCL/IPV can eliminate scrapped parts, damaged machines, and machine down time.
PostWorks is a universal 2 through 10-axis postprocessor and postprocessor generator. PostWorks converts output from most major CAM systems into CNC code, which can be used to run virtually any CNC device including mills, lathes, EDMs, lasers, CMMs, Mill-Turns, ultrasonic cutters, and routers. PostWorks is continually being enhanced to support advanced features found on modern CNC controls and sophisticated new multi- axis machine configurations. PostWorks saves time and money by producing efficient CNC code that requires no manual editing.
Special Features for Aerospace and Turbo-machinery components
NCCS will demonstrate its special Application Libraries, which include features that address the unique manufacturing requirements of aerospace and turbo-machinery components.
NCL/AAL is NCCS' Aerospace Application Library, which includes dozens of features for creating tooling and tool paths that are common to the manufacturing of complex structural aerospace parts.
NCL/TAL, NCCS' Turbo-Machinery Application Library, provides capabilities to automate the NC programming of impellers, inducers, and airfoils.
