The Value of NCSIMUL Machine in Higher Education

    This past month, SPRING Technologies participated in a 2-day NCSIMUL training organized and performed by re-seller, Cognisco Technologies Inc. which was hosted by the Wentworth Institute of Technology where educators of various academic institutions explored the benefits NCSIMUL can offer for manufacturing programs in trades and Higher Education.

    Due to NCSIMUL Machine's ease-of-use, power, and myriad of features, attendees expressed the flexibility that this unique virtual machining environment offers in a classroom setting. These factors include: accessibility; NCSIMUL is Windows/PC compatible and can be downloaded directly on a student's PC. It only requires a short training and students can conveniently write their own manual G-Code, test their CAM posted outputs and visualize projects in record time. NCSimul can also be supplied with optional 4 and 5 axis CNC machines, which allows more possibilities to have students extend and improve their programming skills without fear of damaging expensive equipment.

    During this training, educators discovered how NCSIMUL can save them hours in reviewing student's codes and grading projects, and as a result, how it lends them more time for teaching. This is owing to NCSIMUL’s capacity to instantly show syntax erros, to simulate the machining in one click to immediately locate any collisions and machining mishaps, and compare the machined part to the original part and spot design errors. Educators can have students build their own machines, tools libraries, and create a variety of exercises for them that range from simple to complex that will foster innovation in the classroom.

    For more information on how your precision machining academic program can benefit from NCSIMUL’s power and user friendliness, please directly contact info@cogniscotech.com.

MECT 2015: SPRING Technologies and SAEILO Japan unveil NCSIMUL CAM on the Asia-Pacific market

Rethink your manufacturing process this unique all-in-one solution, streamlining the digital process of CNC machine programming

SPRING Technologies, vendor of software that optimizes the use of NC Machines, will present, with SAEILO Japan, for the 1st time on the Asia-Pacific market, its cutting-edge new module NCSIMUL CAM – part of its new platform NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS 10 -, at the: 

MECT tradeshow, hall 3, booth B25, from October 21st to 24th, 2015.

The company's new product delivers agile and native CNC programming to streamline the current serial and iterative CAM process and provides unparalleled flexibility on the shop floor. NCSIMUL CAM directly generates verified and optimized CNC programs, while factoring in the physical resources available on the shop floor, including tools, cutting conditions, kinematics and machine controllers.

NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS V10 is more than just a new version: a technological milestone for manufacturing and production in the aircraft industry– unique and simple to operate. It facilitates a comprehensive, integrated control of the complete machining process, including: G-Code processing, G-code file simulation, Cutting and tool management, DNC G-code file management, Real time machine status monitoring, Technical content publication.

This unique approach, streamlining the complete end-to-end machining process, delivers the tools and flexibility required to build the Factory of the Future.

NCSIMUL CAM Product Overview

NCSIMUL CAM directly generates verified and optimized CNC programs, while factoring in the physical resources available on the shop floor, including tools, cutting conditions, kinematics and machine controllers.

With this new solution, CAM data (APT neutral file / CL-data) and existing CNC programs can be used easily to generate a valid new CNC program in just a few clicks for another machine using different kinematics and controller. This will enable manufacturers to quickly adapt their existing programs to new resources when retrofitting a machine, buying a new one or when a machining process is repurposed. With a conventional CAM process (CAM-Post-Processor-Machining Simulation), this task could take hours, even days. With NCSIMUL CAM, these times are slashed to minutes.

Likewise, if the target machine initially planned for the CAM program is no longer available for maintenance reasons or is already being used to meet production, it will take just one click with NCSIMUL CAM to switch programming to another machine – whatever its complexity (3X to 5X, 5X to 4X…), the type of kinematics (tilting head to table-on-table for instance) or the type of controller (FANUC, Siemens, Heidenhain…).

Thanks to the integration of NCSIMUL Tool database, NCSIMUL CAM provides a direct access to 3D tool data and cutting conditions and automatically reconfigures the tool magazine.

This will provide manufacturers with the level of flexibility they need to achieve rapid switching of scheduled production from one CNC machine to another, making their production means fully flexible and agile.

Five key features of NCSIMUL CAM

- “Hybrid” programming, taking the pain out of legacy re-use,
- Error-free programming in native NC code, for an all-in-one solution,
- No more external post-processor, streamlining the CAM process,
- One-click re-programming, for complete flexibility,
- Dynamic management of intermediary rough stocks for unrivalled programming comfort

SOUTH-TEC 2015: Canadian Launch of NCSIMUL CAM Booth 1735

Enrich your CAM process with NCSIMUL CAM, 

the CNC programming breakthrough within the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS platform

SPRING Technologies, vendor of software that optimizes the use of NC Machines, announces the southeastern U.S. launch of NCSIMUL CAM at SOUTH-TEC – October 27 – 29 in Charlotte, North Carolina. SPRING is demonstrating its suite of software products in booth 1735. The company’s new product delivers agile and native CNC programming to streamline the current serial and iterative CAM process and provides unparalleled flexibility on the shop floor.

From Prototyping (sine machining process on a 4X machine) To Series (all machining processes on a Tombstone 4X machine)

Fully integrated in the new unified NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS V10 platform (including NCSIMUL MACHINE, NCSIMUL Tool, and NCSIMUL DNC), it embodies SPRING Technologies’ response to today’s issues in CNC machine programming: rethinking the traditional serial method of tool path creation, part/machine simulation, post-processing, , G-code verification and simulation that can generate errors. Today, the tedious investigative work as to where the errors occurred is placed in the hands of the NC programmer. By streamlining the conventional CNC programming process, and offering native CNC code (G-code) programming capability, NCSIMUL CAM not only eliminates errors while reducing programming time but enables CNC programmers to generate CNC programs made for the part as opposed to the traditional method of programming the part for the machine.

Thanks to “hybrid programming” unique capability, NCSIMUL CAM allows to work on existing G-Code based programs as well as CAM data inputs and enables CNC programmers to redesign a new manufacturing process in few clicks. Coupled with “on-the-fly” native CNC code generation capability, self-verifying and self-optimizing, NCSIMUL CAM allows to reprogram a new target CNC machine in one click, whatever the CNC machine complexity is.

According to the company, the primary benefits will be significant cost savings and optimal use of CNC machines because of the post-processing free and flexible programming capabilities. “With NCSIMUL CAM, manufacturing companies are now in position to build their own CAM 4.0 process, making their way to Industrie 4.0 level, slashing programming time and costs while boosting assets utilization like never before.,” said Philippe Solignac, corporate marketing director for SPRING Technologies. The product had its worldwide introduction at the Paris Air Show in June.
