MachineWorks technology is integrated into developers’ applications to provide
a wide range of simulation and clash detection solutions.
MachineWorks can simulate any type of machining process and any types of tools and holders from the simple simulation of cutting tool and stock to the complete machining environment with unlimited axes. Our simulation covers wire EDM, milling, turning, grinding or a combination of tasks.
CAM applications have embedded MachineWorks, benefiting from flexible true-solid engines with material removal and full-machine simulation. The result is a realistic animation that uses advanced OpenGL graphics.
MachineWorks has been integrated directly into CNC controls so operators can monitor the progress of the machine cycle at any point and enjoy the quality of graphics at the machine that was once only available on a desktop PC.
MachineWorks can help you detect collisions and gouges in the full machining environment.
Simulation and verification has become a standard feature of CAM applications. CAM Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) incorporate core MachineWorks clash detection functionality that takes into account all parts in the machine environment.
The demand for simulation and verification of programs created on conversational controllers derives from the increasing complexity of machines. By having MachineWorks simulation integrated with the controller, operators on the shop floor are reassured that their programming/editing is error-free before running the machine.
MachineWorks can deliver a bespoke solution to run inside an anti-crash system.
MachineWorks has been integrated into more sophisticated CNC controllers allowing the ultimate in safety and control: a built-in intelligence system that will not allow the machine to crash. The toolpath is monitored live. The software will "look ahead" of the toolpath and if it detects an imminent crash it will stop the machine and give a warning.
