CGTech to showcase VERICUT 9.2 at Advanced Engineering 2021
CGTECH will exhibit VERICUT 9.2 on stand H104 at the Advanced Engineering exhibition from 3rd – 4th November at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham.
Advanced Engineering is the UK’s leading advanced manufacturing and supply chain event, pairing the latest technologies and supply chain partners. It reaches into key sectors of aerospace, automotive, civil, rail, transport, and more.
The VERICUT Journey
VERICUT is the industry standard for CNC machine simulation to detect collisions, bugs and other areas for improvement. The latest version, VERICUT 9.2, increases productivity and sustainability with improvements to collision checking and overall performance, as well as enhanced support for “intelligent” cutting tools with cutting performance information and detailed tool reporting. Also added is a 3DLive interface to import GDML files, enabling users to quickly and easily create realistic digital machines and add other moving components (rotary tables, articulating heads, fixtures with moving clamps, etc.) for more realistic simulation.
The Latest Version – VERICUT 9.2
VERICUT 9.2 also provides important advancements in optimisation and monitoring machining processes. VERICUT Force is a physics-based NC program optimisation module that can be used with optimise cutting operations. Force makes changes to the program based on the stock material, cutting tool properties, and conditions encountered during simulation. Force optimised program feed rates maintain an ideal chip thickness, while simultaneously limiting excessive cutting forces or spindle power requirements.
“With VERICUT 9.2’s amazing improvements to optimisation, cutting graphs, and ability to import cutting tools with machining ‘intelligence’ gives users more information and insights into machining processes,” says Gavin Powell, CGTech UK Technical Director. “Users can view combinations of Cutting and Force Conditions, and compare the original versus optimised values. These windows can also be docked in VERICUT’s desktop for constant monitoring of machining conditions in real time during simulations. This visibility allows them to spot potential flaws and inefficiencies in machining, so they can adjust their strategies or optimise them before running the programs on their NC machines.”
The latest version of VERICUT brings more options for optimisation. Force can set a target Chip Thickness and any combination of Force limits such as maximum force, maximum power, and maximum tool deflection. Users can also choose to “Learn From Graphs” to send optimisation settings to cutting tools, or change optimisation settings for corresponding cutters.
