Improved toolpath generation and simulation

NCCS, the developer of NCL multi-axis machining software for the aerospace, automotive and turbo machinery industry, announces availability of new tools that significantly improve tool path generation and machine simulation. NCCS has enhanced its toolpath and machine simulation software, NCL/IPV, along with its universal post processor, PostWorks. These tools speed up the machining process of complex components and reduce metalcutting inefficiencies that can often occur with high-speed machining. * NCL/IPV simulates the metal removal process and the movement of CNC machines, simultaneously. Users can realistically simulate the exact movements of their CNC machines and automatically detect collisions between all machine tool components. Most importantly, NCL/IPV eliminates scrapped parts, damaged machines, and machine down time. * PostWorks is a universal 2 through 10-axis post-processor and post-processor generator. It converts output from most major CAM systems into CNC code, which can be used to run virtually any CNC device including mills, lathes, EDMs, lasers, CMMs, mill-turns, ultrasonic cutters, and routers. PostWorks is continually being enhanced to support advanced features found on modern CNC controls and sophisticated new multi-axis machine configurations. Users will save time and money by producing efficient CNC code that requires no manual editing.
