The NX-to-VERICUT Interface from CGTech provides an easy & convenient way to verify,optimize and analyze:

individual NC programs a series of selected tool paths

a complete sequence of operations...

directly from within Siemens NX!

Seamless Integration with

Siemens PLM Software

VERICUT OVERVIEW

ELIMINATE MANUAL PROVE-OUTS TRAIN WITHOUT USING A MACHINE REDUCE SCRAP AND REWORK IMPROVE DOCUMENTATION AND PRESENTATIONS

VERICUT simulates milling, drilling, turning, multi-tasking mill/turn, and EDM operations. Errors that couldruin the part, damage the xture, or break the cutting tool are easily identied. VERICUT supports G-codesand native CAM les and includes analysis tools to measure and compare the cut part with the designmodel. You can model any cutter, xture, or holder shape. During simulation you can create in-process

inspection instructions and export a CAD model of the as-machined part.

FAST AND EASY SETUP

With the NX Interface, NC programs are linked to manu-facturing operations, enabling easy selection of tool pathmotion from the desired operation. All tool path and tool-ing information is automatically transferred to VERICUT.Design, Stock, and Fixture models are also automaticallytransferred to VERICUT in their proper orientation. Theinterface supports VERICUTs multiple setup functionalityand, by using coordinate systems, models are properlypositioned on the machine for each setup.

To launch VERICUT andverify NC programs

within Siemens NX,simply select the desired operations from

a list and select the VERICUT option.Settings from the Operations Navigator

will be automatically transferred to VERICUTs Project Tree.

INDEPENDENT POWER AND FLEXI BILIT Y

The VERICUT process runs independent from the CAM system soyou can continue working in NX while verifying the NC program.

VERICUT is the worlds leading INDEPENDENT CNC simulation software used in nearly every industry by users of ALL leading PLM and CAM systems!

CRASH Your Machine! ...as long as its in VERICUT

VERICUT is the leading CNC simulation and optimization software for manufacturing! With VERICUT, you can: dpotential collisions and NC program mistakes without doing a prove-out, improve cutting efciency, perform detailepart analysis, automatically generate inspection instructions, and make in-process, as-machined CAD models.

A single crash can be extremely expensive, ruin themachine, and delay the entire production schedule!VERICUT enables you to simulate your CNC machinesso you can detect collisions between portions of themachine, the part, xtures and holders, etc. before anyactual cutting occurs. And, because the simulation isdriven by the same logic as the machines control, itbehaves exactly like the physical machine and is the mostaccurate collision-checking available.

CNC MACHINE SIMULATION

NC PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION Optimizing cutting speeds is an effective way to reduce cycle time, increase cut-ter life, and improve nish quality! Based on cutting conditions and tool capability,VERICUT automatically assigns the best feed rates for each cutting conditionencountered. It works on a simple premise: feed rates increase for lighter cuts orbetter conditions, and decrease as more material is removed. Without changing thetrajectory, the updated feeds and speeds are applied to a new NC program.

REDUCE CNC CYCLE TIME IMPROVE FINISH QUALITY REDUCE FEED RATE ADJUSTMENT MINIMIZE MACHINE AND CUTTER WEAR BE MORE COMPETITIVE, AND MORE PROFITABLE INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY, SPEED TIME-TO-MARK

How software optimization works:As the cutting tool encounters more material, feed rates decrease; as less material is removed, the feed rates speed up accordingly. Based on the amount of mate-

rial removed by each cut segment, OptiPath automatically calculates and insertsimproved feed rates where necessary. Without changing the trajectory, OptiPathwrites the updated feed rates to a new NC program.
