The program on booth A77, Hall 4 will include demonstrations of the main modules in the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS range, notably the latest versions of NCSIMUL Machine, NCSIMUL Tool and NCSIMUL DNC. "Our flexible software solutions increase the productivity of NC machining centers by optimizing machining processes”, explains Olivier Bellaton, Managing Director of SPRING Technologies. "They offer the possibility of simulating production processes, thus minimizing manufacturing deficits in advance which would otherwise have caused damage to the machine and unnecessary costs." Automation and safety These are the key words that underlie the product demonstrations scheduled for the SPRING Technologies booth. These include: -         NCSIMUL Machine 9.2 for machining simulation, with automated information in real time, new features in the composites module and enhanced user experience. NC programs can be checked with NCSIMUL Machine

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Scion Instruments announced a gas chromatography instrument control agreement. This exchange agreement provides customers the freedom to operate instruments from both manufacturers in each company’s chromatography data systems. The companies will exchange development documentation and royalty-free licenses of driver software for the integration of each other’s GC instruments into their respective chromatography data systems. With the development of these drivers, GC systems from either manufacturer will be integrated into Agilent’s OpenLAB CDS EZChrom Edition and Scion’s CompassCDS chromatography data systems. “Agilent pursues an open-systems approach to laboratory informatics, preserving our customers’ investment in instrumentation, workflows, operating procedures, data and knowledge,” said John Sadler, Agilent vice president and general manager of software and informatics. “We are continuously expanding OpenLAB CDS multivendor instrument control capabilities in collaboration with other analytical instrument manufacturers and are working to standardize analytical instrument control across data systems, resulting in the best-working and best-tested software

FEI’s Open Inventor 3D software development tools (SDK) use Datakit technology to add extended support for importing CAD data. At CONTROL 2015, FEI will introduce Open Inventor 9.5’s extended CAD import features, which provide software developers with rich CAD data import capabilities for engineering applications. Open Inventor now provides full support for major CAD file formats including CATIA V5/V6, IGES, JT, ProE/Creo Parametric, Solid Edge, STEP, SolidWorks, UG NX, VDA and Parasolid. A powerful feature that Open Inventor 9.5 brings to software applications is the ability to import additional data, such as edges, open shells, and PMI (part information e.g. dimensioning, annotations, captions, etc.) along with the CAD model. To provide extended CAD import capabilities, FEI has licensed industry leading translation technology, from Datakit, the leader in the CAD data exchange market.

Granta Design today announced GRANTA MI™ Version 8.1, the latest release of the leading software for managing complex, valuable, strategic materials knowledge in engineering enterprises. Version 8.1 builds on the many developments released just five months ago in Version 8.0. New features range from easy web app control over user groups to support for workflows, such as composite qualification. Enhancements meet practical requirements identified by the world-leading engineering organizations that use GRANTA MI. Granta is now delivering more frequent upgrades and updates containing significant new features, enabling faster response to customer requirements as use of the system evolves. GRANTA MI enables an enterprise to manage all of its materials data (e.g., from testing, research, QA, or design), all inter-relationships between that data, and any supporting information. Users can access and use this knowledge-base wherever it is needed. A key feature is access control for different user groups —e.g., so that design teams only

Cabinet Vision users say a number of seminars around the UK have been invaluable in showing them how to use the flagship new functions in what is described as the “biggest ever” update of the software. With over 100 items of new and enhanced functionality in Cabinet Vision V9, Senior Support Engineer Dave Roberts says woodworking companies can now take their business to the next level.  “Cabinet Vision is now a very different piece of software, as users can put models into the system and operations into materials, for the first time, all of which can be shown graphically. This is one of the biggest releases ever, and, as such, we planned these seminars to show customers how to use the new features, so they can get the very best from their software investment.” A point echoed by designer Ruth Lovelock, who attended a seminar with two of her colleagues from bespoke furniture

Delcam GmbH will demonstrate the potential applications in the woodworking industry for machining with robots on stand C09 in Hall 12 at the LIGNA exhibition to be held in Hannover from 11th to 15th May. Live machining demonstrations will be shown on the stand using a KUKA robot programmed with the new release of Delcam’s PowerMILL Robot software for the programming of robots for multi-axis machining operations. Robots can be a very cost-effective alternative to machine tools for many large-scale machining operations in the woodworking industry, including sculpting, signmaking, and trimming and drilling of panels. Especially when cutting softer materials, they can achieve levels of accuracy similar to CNC milling machines or routers. PowerMILL Robot makes it as easy to program a robot for machining as it is to program a five-axis machine tool. As a fully-associated application inside PowerMILL, users have access to all the multi-axis machining strategies within PowerMILL and can use
