Let's start with the basics. Why are Tool path verification and optimization important in manufacturing operations?
VERICUT verification software reduces scrap loss, rework, and helps manufacturers eliminate the process of manually proving-out new NC programs. The program also optimizes NC programs in order to save time, reduce tool breakage, and produce higher quality surface finish.
Our customers have summarized it best: "VERICUT lets the programmer go home and sleep." Manufacturers spend a lot of time and energy avoiding mistakes. Since verification software catches mistakes upfront before a real problem occurs at the CNC, it can help alleviate a lot of stress for NC programmers, machine operators, and even management. Nobody wants to miss a shipment deadline because of a CNC machine crash.
CGTech demonstrated the new version of VERICUT® CNC machine simulation and optimization software at the EMO Milano show in October, 2015. What is ‘new' about this version?
In addition to new features designed to make NC programmers' jobs easier, nearly 500 customer-driven enhancements and software change requests have been completed in version 7.4. These updates utilize the latest technologies to enable faster processing speeds, longer tool life and increased part quality. Added features to the user interface simplify the most common user actions and significant developer hours have been invested to increase simulation speed by more thoroughly taking advantage of multiple processors and background processing.
VERICUT's Tool Manager user interface is redesigned to enable easier user interaction. A new Tool Bar located at the top of the Tool Manager window consists of a combination of icons and pull-down menus providing easy access to all features needed to create and maintain tool libraries, create/modify tool assemblies, import tool assemblies and create or import OptiPath records. Also, in the Tool List, tool components now have a Parent/Child hierarchy allowing for better tool assembly management and modification. All Tool Definition windows have been redesigned to make tool definition easier. VERICUT 7.4 ships with a library of common tools, making it quick and simple to add new tools to a simulation session.
Is this latest version available for Indian customers?
Yes, VERICUT releases are available for download in India immediately after any release.
