Safely Generate, Optimize, and Simulate NC Code

Perfect Synergy of the Virtual and Real Worlds Rely on hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining to safely generate, optimize, and simulate your NC programs. Our innovative postprocessor and simulation technology consists of three modules: Center, Optimizer, and CONNECTED Machining. This way, we offer you a solution for the simulation and optimization of your NC programs as well as in-depth connectivity with your machines. This allows you to close the gap between CAM system and real machine environment – providing an unprecedented level of process control and optimization. This is Industry 4.0!...

Creation and optimization of NC programs Machining checking and analysis Connectivity and interaction with your machines Component alignment at the touch of a button with hyperMILL BEST FIT Job preparation: Help with machine selection and planning ® Connectivity with machine Machine and removal simulation Remote control Intuitive operation hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining allows us to map all the process steps in CNC manufacturing within our software in order to offer you the greatest degree of safety and consistency – without compromise.” Peter Brambs, Director Product Managem

NC Code Simulation with All Key CAM Information The hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining Center combines the advantages of a CAM data-based simulation with those of an NC code simulation. What you get in the end is an NC code simulation that includes all the process information you need from the hyperMILL® CAM system, such as negative allowances, broken edges, and hole parameters. In this way, you avoid incorrectly identified collision areas and save yourself a time-consuming evaluation afterwards. Simulation with maximum safety Our hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Center offers you all the classic...

Individual operations can be simulated separately, or used as a starting point for the simulation. Current Position Intuitive user interface The design of the user interface is based on an actual controller. Machine operators, CAM...

In-depth analysis of the NC program Extensive analysis functions allow you to check every machining situation in detail. Various technical charts provide valuable information about the quality of the machine run. All traverse movements of the different axes, feedrates, and spindle speed are visible to the CNC programmer at all times to avoid errors and inefficient operations. Workspace monitoring Adjusting visibility A stored machine model is used to check whether any limit switches are traversed during 2.5D, 3D, 3+2, and 5-axis simultaneous machining. The movements of both the linear axes...

Whether it is 3-axis, 5-axis, or multi-axis milling machines or lathes of different designs, our VIRTUAL Machining is designed to meet the specific requirements of all machine types. This versatility allows you to use our software for a wide range of applications while achieving the greatest possible safety and efficiency. Special machines 3 -axis milling machines Mill-turn...

Turning operations safely under control Trust in our VIRTUAL Machining technology, and make no compromises when it comes to your NC code generation and simulation. Precise checking is essential, especially in view of the sometimes very complex tools and holders in use as well as machining with a turret. Intuitive assembly of the individual tool components Simple definition of the cutting edge position All turning, milling, and drilling tools in one database Convenient turret assembly Management of different turret assemblies Turning and drilling with a turret assembly Precise mapping of the...

Real-time alignment with hyperMILL BEST FIT – fast, safe, precise ® With BEST FIT, we offer you intelligent component alignment in the CAM system that is perfectly integrated into hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining, providing an efficient solution at the touch of a button. The unaligned component is probed on the machine using 3D Probing, and the probing points are sent back to the CAM in the form of a measuring log. hyperMILL® BEST FIT then precisely adjusts the NC code to the actual component position. In this manner, the virtual world (programming) is adapted to the real world (clamping), and...

The Optimal NC Program for Your Machines Every Time Having the right NC code is critical for smooth, reliable multi-axis machining – because the efficiency and quality of your machining ultimately depends on the movement sequences in the NC program. The hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer analyzes the NC program as the NC code is being generated and perfectly adapts it to the kinematic properties of the chosen machine. The technically best positions are selected automatically, optimized linking movements between individual operations are generated, and any clearance movements that are...

Automatic solution selection The hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer automatically selects the best solution and can of course be adapted to your manufacturing standards: ® eparate check for each job S Automatic search for alternative solution in the case of collision and machining area violations O perations can be split, if necessary, and output with alternating orientations Automatic linking movements Optimal linking movements are generated fully automatically between individual jobs or during changeover to a different machining solution. The type of machining is not a decisive factor...
