Investing in CGTech’s CNC simulation software, VERICUT, can optimise manufacturing operations and increase confidence in CNC machines. Whether it’s used for running a new part or detecting collisions on a CNC machine, by introducing VERICUT, businesses can become more efficient and competitive.

Driven by the same logic as numerical control, the virtual machine simulates real movements and behaves exactly like the actual machine. The optimisation capabilities of CNC simulation software can automatically determine the optimal feed rate for cutting conditions, which will significantly reduce cycle time, increase machine life, and achieve a better surface finish overall.

Offering a realistic simulation of NC data on digital twin machines, VERICUT can cgtechdetect collisions and near-misses between all machine tool components. The clever and innovative CNC simulation software improves operational safety in the workplace by checking capabilities and detecting errors before the machines start running.

Eliminate prove-outs

Proving out new parts not only wastes valuable machine time but costs businesses a substantial amount of money. With VERICUT CNC simulation software, NC programs can be thoroughly checked before wasting expensive machine time to prove out parts. VERICUT simulates a machine on a desktop, rather than using a CNC machine, this means that rework can be done quickly and efficiently to ensure programs are safe before running them on the actual machine.

Improve staff training

Implementing CNC simulation software can have numerous benefits for staff working on expensive CNC machines. VERICUT can be used to train programmers and operators without using important production time or risking collisions on actual machines.

Learning through CNC simulation software removes the risk of staff becoming injured or harmed by errors and collisions that may happen on an actual CNC machine. Future-proofing equipment is beneficial for companies that employ students or apprentices. This allows novice employees to learn in a simulated environment and minimise the possibility of a dangerous or costly error.

Spend less time watching the stop button 

CNC simulation software enables you to perform realistic 3D simulations of entire CNC machines. This efficient way of testing ensures that errors on the machines can be detected and resolved before the real CNC machine is put into action. Not only does this save crucial time in the machining process but it will also improve efficiency. By detecting issues beforehand workers can have complete confidence in the CNC machines, removing any need to hover over the stop button.

Supporting the most complex applications such as multi-axis milling/drilling, multi-axis turning, and combination milling/turning, VERICUT provides employees with certainty in their machines to ensure they are operated safely.

By spending less time watching the stop button, operators can increase efficiency in the workplace and make use of this time in other critical areas. Workers are provided with the reassurance that the machine will not crash and parts will be produced to the correct specification, which also saves companies time and money.

Build confidence in CNC machines

VERICUT CNC simulation software accurately emulates CNC control logic which runs the real CNC machine. CGTech’s innovative software displays errors in a range of selected colours, by simply clicking on an error this will show the toolpath record that is responsible. This provides programmers and operators with confidence in their machines, and allows them to prove-out programs without damaging equipment or wasting time and money.

With the ability to optimise tool paths, CNC simulation software can be used to improve programmed feed rates, making them not only faster but also more efficient. This also ensures that less cutter wear and a better surface finish of components is achieved.

Why use VERICUT

VERICUT offers the most accurate collision-checking software available, rather than testing points along a path, VERICUT checks the entire path of travel. A single mistake can lead to scrapping a vital machine part, crashing a machine, or causing a harmful injury to staff. For this reason, ensuring that machines are tested for errors beforehand is extremely valuable.

Visually checking a simulation machine is an untrustworthy solution compared to VERICUT’s efficient software. As the world’s leading CNC simulation software, it has been tried and tested throughout a range of industries. These include aerospace, medical and the automotive sector to create an optimised solution that can be used with all CNC machines and CAM systems.

With the ability to set up near-miss zones around components, VERICUT can check for close calls and detect over-travel errors. The CNC simulation software can detect potential collisions between all machine tool components such as axis slides, rotary tables, cutting tools and other user-defined objects.
