10 minutes of programming can save you thousands of dollars

Did you know ?

Did you know that just 10 minutes of programming can free up hours of CNC machining time 
and save you thousands of dollars - every single day?
There is a difference between the two parts shown in the picture below: the one on the 
bottom will cut 18% faster after applying an efficient optimization process called Optitool.

* 18% OF TIME SAVING

Optitool reduces your cycle times, extends the life of your cutting tools, and places considerably less 
stress on your machine tools - all while increasing productivity and reducing costs.
VIDEO : Discover in less than 90 seconds how simple it is to free up machining time on 

your CNC machines...with Optitool!

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


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

SPRING Technologies announces the worldwide release of NCSIMUL CAM

NCSIMUL CAM, a new module for the NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS 10 platform, is now available on demand via the ncsimul.com website


SPRING Technologies, vendor of software that optimizes the use of NC machines, announces the worldwide release of NCSIMUL CAM, the module that puts the finishing touch to existing CAM programs.

Based on CAM data inputs (CATIA®, NX®, CREO®, MASTERCAM®, and TOPSOLIDCAM®),
or existing NC programs (G-code format), NCSIMUL CAM directly generates verified and
optimized CNC programs without an external post-processor.

Ease of use and reliability were the watchwords in the development of NCSIMUL CAM, designed
to streamline digital processes across a wide range of industries including Aerospace,
Automotive/Transportation, Energy, and Medical instrumentation, where productivity and
competitiveness are at a premium.

With the unique new solution, businesses in these sectors have maximum flexibility when selecting machines for their workshops.


Six highlights of NCSIMUL CAM:

- No more external post-processors, for a simplified NC process;
- 1-click reprogramming, for complete flexibility;
- “Hybrid” programming, for easy reuse of existing NC Data (g-code or CL-data inputs);
- Programming in native NC code verified and optimized for an all-in-one solution;
- Unique data file, to enable production to be transferred more smoothly from site to site; and
- Dynamic management of intermediary rough stocks for unrivalled ease of programming.
