Developer of Vericut NC verification, optimisation, and simulation software,
“It's no longer necessary to visit the NC programming office or an engineering workstation to view an NC program being simulated on a virtual CNC machine,” said CGTech's managing director John Reed. “With Vericut Reviewer on the iPad, shopfloor personnel and other production staff can view 3D animations of CNC machining processes at the machine tool, during meetings or at any other location. Intuitive touch controls and navigation make it easy to rotate, pan and zoom to view machining operations from any perspective as they are being simulated.”
Vericut's simulation moves according to the NC code the same as the CNC machine so virtual machining exactly mimics real machining. The user can select and closely examine specific sections of NC code where a potential problem might exist.
A Vericut report containing information about cutting tools, job set-up, machining instructions and other information can be automatically packaged within each saved Reviewer session creating a virtual workshop document. Vericut reports are PDF files automatically generated during Vericut simulations.
The NC programmer saves a ‘reviewer' file after simulating NC programs in Vericut to ensure they are correct which can be saved at any point in a simulation session. It is then transferred to the Reviewer iPad App through iTunes, Dropbox for iPad App, or email.
