SUNWAY E-SYSTEMS FORMS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH SPRING TECHNOLOGIES TO ACCELERATE DEPLOYMENT OF NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS IN MALAYSIA

NCSIMUL Machine 9, the realistic, smart and high-performance CNC simulation experience, 

sets to elevate Malaysian industries with ‘smart machining’ solutions

MALAYSIA - March 25, 2013 – Sunway E-Systems (SES), a subsidiary of Sunway Group and SPRING Technologies, a France-based CNC software solutions vendor today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to distribute, resell, implement and support NCSIMUL Machine, the CNC realistic simulation module of NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS – a SPRING Technologies portfolio module - in Malaysia and in the ASEAN region.

NCSIMUL Machine is an affordable yet comprehensive CNC software solution for simulating, verifying, optimizing, and reviewing CNC machining programs. It can be seamlessly connected to CAD/CAM software. Using NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS modules, and especially NCSIMUL Machine, manufacturers are able to simulate the real context of a manufacturing environment taking into account the real characteristics of machines - i.e. kinematics, tools, rough material properties, tools availability, NC programs lifecycle and machine status monitoring. Such solutions enable industries to perform machine simulations that help correct all programing or manufacturing errors that could happen in real machine tool environment. Among the major benefits of NCSIMUL Machine, the solution enables customers to reduce testing time on machine and increase productivity rates, ensuring a secured and optimal use of production tools by preventing any risk of machine or part breakage.

“We are extremely excited to work with SPRING Technologies to bring their state-of-the art ‘NCSIMUL Machine 9’ machining software solution to the local industries. This next generation simulation software will equip Malaysian manufacturers especially from aerospace, oil & gas and medical sectors with end-to-end control of their machining process, integrating the creation of cutting tool libraries, the optimization of cutting conditions plus the ability to publish manufacturing data needed by operators in the workshop,” said Cheah Kok Hoong, CEO of Sunway E-Systems.

“With their solid product knowledge in industrial manufacturing and in-depth industry domain expertise both in Malaysia as well as ASEAN countries, we are confident that SES will help push our new solutions to local industries that want to set up a robust digital production process. This will definitely give Malaysian manufacturers a stronger competitive edge in the global marketplace,” said Gilles Battier, CEO of SPRING Technologies, during the official distributorship signing ceremony.

SPRING Technologies currently collaborates closely with reputable manufacturers in the aerospace and defence, transportation, energy, industrial equipment and medical sectors worldwide. Its major customers include Airbus, Hyundai, Alstom, Mitsubishi and Canon.

NCSIMUL Machine verifies NC programs in three steps: investigates and corrects coding errors, simulates to locate collisions and correct motion errors, and validates the NC program. This notable capability is also a valuable training tool for new employees as the virtual sessions are short, easy to understand, and eliminate errors.

Key Product Features of NCSIMUL Machine 9:

• Enhanced user experience and performance with enriched 3D view which enables faster adoption and more robust interaction with the NC machine. 
• Simplified ergonomics for faster, more democratic access to NC simulation. The interfaced, based on ribbon technology navigation, enables users to work more efficiently. Tasks are now accessed via tabs, each of which has groups that break down into tasks and sub-tasks. Implemented on touch screens, ribbon navigation significantly facilitates ultra-mobility. 
• Tighter integration for a leaner digital manufacturing process (integrated tool libraries and cutting conditions, new CAM interfaces)
