NUM unveils latest NUMROTO development at GrindTec
1 min read
At this year's GrindTec exhibition, Augsburg, Germany, 14-17 March, NUM will be celebrating 25 years' continuous growth and development of its NUMROTO tool grinding software by launching a major new capability that effectively automates production verification.
NUM has also enhanced the 'measurement in process' capabilities of NUMROTO by extending the number and type of measurements that can be performed during grinding operations. Typically, operators can now maintain tolerances to within ±3 microns, even when producing a wide range of tools that may involve as many as 15 different measurements.
The software also now features an XML data interface, enabling tool geometry parameters such as length, diameter, rake angle, relief information and many others to be exported for use in other programs, or imported from a customer's database to shorten the design-to-production path.
Featuring an integrated modelling-simulation-interpolation chain, NUMROTO avoids the sequential CAD-to-CAM and CAM-to-CNC translation phases of conventional software approaches and provides a true WYSIWYG output. This helps users of tool grinding machinery sidestep multiple data format changes and emulations, and eliminates the need for a pre-production optimisation phase.
NUM is also celebrating 50 years of technical innovation in CNC. Visit stand 7065 in Hall 7.
