MachineWorks New Developments Displayed at EMO Hannover
MachineWorks Ltd, will be demonstrating the latest enhancements at EMO Hannover on stand J25, hall 25.
Real Time Simulation Improved
Thanks to the MachineWorks research team that dedicates specific resources to experimenting with new technologies and to finding new ways of making their engines faster, more stable and more accurate, MachineWorks can perform real time simulation for the most complex machining processes, with clash detection against the exact stock geometry. The visualisation displays an exact representation of the machining process.
Memory Handling Improved
A collision avoidance system can be created by running the simulation slightly ahead of the machine to warn of an impending crash. MachineWorks also has technologies that can run on controllers with very limited processing power.
Other developers can produce CNC simulation but being able to run simulation on any controller regardless of the memory, being able to accurately display real time simulation as the tool is cutting on a full machine environment or being able to predict a clash ahead of the machine crashing is much more difficult.
Mike Nicholson , Director of Sales & Marketing of MachineWorks says "By 2006 we had developed simulation for all types of machining, functionality such as on-the-fly- gouge detection, complex mill-turn, advanced rendering, simulation in real-time. Over the last 10 years we have dedicated our research to developing APIs for the smooth delivery of MachineWorks technology by optimising processes, taking advantage of hardware advances such as multi-core processers through multi-threading. We have created the tools to make the customer's development as cost-effective and efficient as possible."
