ModuleWorks, the leading supplier of CAD/CAM components for 5-Axis machining and CNC simulation, and Fanuc Europe, a dedicated specialist for factory automation, are pleased to present the results of their partnership at EMO 2015 in Milan.
On the ModuleWorks stand at EMO will be a demonstration of real-time collision avoidance running on the Fanuc controller. This technology will be available to any machine tool company using Fanuc controls.
The collision avoidance takes into account the entire machine environment, including machine elements such as the table and spindles, set-up elements such as clamps and fixtures, and job elements such as the in-process stock and tools.
The simulation and collision checking is available in all controlled modes, including Jog mode, and can even be used for a dry-run to validate the NC program before machining.
In addition, the simulation may be connected to Fanuc’s virtual control software, NC Guide, to allow offline simulation during the design or programming stage.
For more information and live demonstrations, please see the ModuleWorks team at EMO 2015 in Hall 04, Booth B38.
