CGTech Vericut Reviewer app allows users to view simulations on an iPad
1 min read
A free Vericut Reviewer iPad app is now available through the iPad app store making it no longer necessary to visit the NC programming office or an engineering workstation to view an NC program being simulated on a virtual CNC machine.
Shopfloor personnel and other production staff can view 3D animations of CNC machining processes at the machine tool, during meetings, or at any other location. Intuitive touch controls and navigation make it easy to rotate, pan and zoom to view machining operations from any perspective as they are being simulated, says CGTech.
Vericut's simulation moves according to the NC code in the same way as the CNC machine, so virtual machining exactly mimics real machining. The user can select and closely examine specific sections of NC code where a potential problem may exist.
A report containing information about cutting tools, job set-up, machining instructions and other information can be automatically packaged within each saved Reviewer session, creating a virtual workshop document. Vericut PDF report files are automatically generated during simulations.
The NC programmer can save a Reviewer file after simulating an NC program in Vericut or at any point in a simulation session. It is then transferred to the Reviewer iPad app through iTunes, Dropbox for iPad App, or email.
