FASTCONTROL REALISTIC MACHINE SIMULATION

With FASTCONTROL, CENIT offers a high-performance solution for the realistic simulation of NC programs. Thanks to the complete integration in CATIA V5, NC programs can be directly and precisely simulated using full control functionality. To this end, the memory status of the real control is exported and sent to the virtual NC core (Siemens VNCK and Heidenhain VirtualTNC). The machine simulation made available is independent from the generating programming system.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

  • We found a solution partner in CENIT very quickly. CENIT is a recognized expert in the CATIA V5 environment as well as in the field of complex 6-axle machines.
    Dr. Hilmar Rudloff, CEO Technology Division, Zimmermann
  • CENIT solutions have enabled us to make even more efficient detailed use of our new 5-axle simultaneous processing center. This also includes the advance inspection of the processing sequence with the computer-based machine simulator.
    Prof. Andreas Tanner, Professor Machine Tool Design
  • We can now finally simulate our complex NC programs within CATIA V5 without the bothersome change to an external simulation system. We were quick to tap the benefits of VNCK within CATIA V5.
    Erhard Müggler, FASTCONTROL user, StarragHeckert GmbH
