smirt

: solid model information retrieval technology. The real time collision check, on the tool, tool holder and machining head provide collision free tool paths.

Real time collision check Safe drilling paths Data base Collision checking (tool, tool-holder and head against the work piece) is performed while creating the tool path on every cutting or rapid movement and the user defined retract strategies can be applied to the linking movements between any tool path type. If a collision is detected, an alert flag is displayed and the interference is highlighted to allow the user to make the relevant changes. The drilling paths created by SMIRT DieNC are always checked for collision. All drilling operations that generate a collision are moved to a special list. This gives the operator the option to change the tool set-up in order to correctly drill them without any collision. Additionally, retract strategies and distances can be defined by the user to improve the machining safety. The user friendly and intuitive SMIRT NcUtil is provided together with SMIRT DieNC to allow the user to graphically define and manage the data base for tooling, tool holders, drilling methods, machines and machining heads. Advanced animation Powerful drilling hole collection Toolpath simulation is available for both milling and drilling operations. The animation can be controlled using speed parameters along with the ability to perform a step by step display. A consistent link is created with the post processed file so that it is possible to track the graphical position of the tool with the corresponding line in the post processed file. Drilling holes can be collected and classified by SMIRT DieNC with drilling methods automatically applied from the user defined data base. Hole collection can be performed fully automatically or manually by selecting single holes or faces for retrieval. Efficient drilling paths After drilling holes are collected, the tool paths are created efficiently by grouping the drilling operations by tool. All holes drilled with a selected tool are executed regardless of the drilling direction. tel. +44 (0) 1453 732900 fax. +44 (0) 1453 887474 email. info@vero.co.uk web. www.vero-software.com
