The complexity of programming processes is ever increasing with the development of new machines and functions. Where it is now almost impossible to manually check NC codes for collisions, this is where machine simulation comes in. Verification of the workspace takes place with the aid of realistic presentation of the programming process. This allows potential collisions to be detected in advance, allows clamping situations to be checked, and it can also be determined whether the size of the machine is sufficient. Increase in the productivity of the machine tool through virtual run-in Detection of tool, holder and machine component collisions Checking for kinematic overshoots of the workspace Determination of the real machining time Visualisation of surface defects machine designs place high demands on NC programmers and machine operators. Post-processors support complex machine control functionalities such as zero point offsets, inclined planes, vectors as tool axis definition and much more. The associated flood of data is unmanageable for the user and makes it difficult to manually check the NC code, as a result of which the run-in becomes risky. In order to prevent downtime and collisions, NX offers integrated simulation and verification (ISV) for the NC code generated by the post-processor. Inspection of the existing workspace detects and prevents collisions between permanently installed tools and the interference contour of the component or the attachment parts of the machine, for example jaw chucks or other clamping equipment, as well as other peripherals. Collision control and workspace monitoring is undertaken by a virtual NC driver.
