• simulates the simultaneous tooling of multiple turrets on one or more spindles
• visualizes the dynamic material removal as well as non-cutting processes
• detects collisions and violations of travel limits
• supports a great variety of machine types including Swiss-type lathes and Mill-Turn centers

Improve your whole manufacturing cycle by testing NC programs off-line on a PC on a Virtual NC machine tool

SIMNC Turning is a powerful tool to simulate NC code for machining of complex parts on complex machines offline:

• turning operations
• milling operations

Simultaneous machining of several turrets on

• one spindle
• different spindles

are simulated as well as more complex operations involving

• moving stocks on CNC Swiss-type lathes
• B-Axes on Mill-Turn centers

SIMNC Turning accurately simulates non-cutting processes relevant to verify the complete production cycle

Simulated non-cutting processes include:

• part transfer
• bar-movement
• complex tool changes
• automatic load/unload
as well as the use of
• stationary support
• tailstock

SIMNC Turning performs in-depth tests for crashes and collisions to assure process stability and hence to protect the machine tool investment

Conditions checked include:

• Collisions between tool and work piece
• Collisions between tool and tool carrier
• Collisions between tools mounted on different tool carriers
• Collisions between arbitrary machine components

sowie

• Collisions between tool holder and work piece (untercutting)
• Collisions between tool shank and work piece (overcutting)

SIMNC Turning supports the most common machine types:

• Twin-type lathe
• Turning-milling center
• Swiss-type lathe
• Multi-spindle turning center
