Machine Simulator

Machine Simulator product uses the latest CAD/CAm, graphics and object-oriented software technologies toi animate and bring to life the complete NC machine tool and its environement on the computer. It will detect all possible collisions between stationary and moving components. The software will feature complete emulation of controllers. It has smooth animation and complete presentation and reporting capabilities to aid marketing, sales and project presentations and demonstrations. The software aimsto realistically simulate any machine tool and its controller with unlimited axes, reproduce the complete machining environment and make the machine tools easier to program and safer to use by detecting all problems.

Machining Simulator can simulate milling, mill-turn, grinding, boring, laser cutting, punching and metal forming machine tools with unlimited number of axes. The software has built-in machine libraries and users can create more machines using external CAD models and assembly abilities. Sirius' universal reverse post processor will handle most of the NC controllers. Simple and flexible tool libraries with parametrized tool assemblies and general purpose form tools can be used. The system will allow the user to setup stock and fixtures and detect collision between any machine components. The software has unique continuous collision detection capability, which uses swept solids approach in addition to the common discrete collision detection. The software also reports other errors like travel limits, feed range and other NC tape errors.
