Components or production parts are becoming more complex and the required production times are getting shorter.
As a result, companies need to optimise production processes by reducing auxiliary machining times and avoiding downtime.
High-performance hyperMILL Virtual Machining module, based on NC code, enables exactly that.
Thanks to networking and virtual start-up of real processes, operations on the machine can be evaluated, verified and optimised before it is started.
It is an innovative solution that connects CAM software with CNC machines. This feature/module enables realistic CNC machining simulation using a digital twin, which accurately mimics real machining conditions, allowing for toolpath verification, collision prevention, and optimization.
It works on the principle of a digital twin, which creates a realistic model of the CNC machine, including tools, workpieces, and fixtures. Using this realistic model, it then generates a visualization of the entire CNC process. This allows for toolpath verification and eliminates the possibility of collisions. The accuracy and efficiency of the entire operation are ensured by the intelligent connection between CAM and CNC. The system also automatically adjusts machining parameters, optimizing the CNC process, reducing cycle time, and minimizing tool wear.
hyperMILL Virtual Machining is an excellent solution for companies that require extremely precise CNC production or work with complex geometries. These are, for example, companies involved in toolmaking or mold manufacturing.
First, you need to review your current CNC programming and identify where simulation can improve the processes. Then, implement the digital twin to create a realistic model of the CNC machine, enabling accurate visualization of the machining process. Next comes toolpath testing, where each step of the CNC operation is verified and optimized to ensure safe and efficient performance. Finally, connect CAM and CNC using the ‘CONNECTED Machining’ feature, which allows direct data transfer and synchronized execution of operations.
