Reduced prove out time for any NC machine tool program through improved verification is the key productivity benefit of new Soft Machines CNC simulation software.
Simulator package speeds robot integration
Smart-CimStation (SCS) is a novel robot simulation and offline programming software package developed specifically for Comau robots.
Developed in close collaboration with Holometric Technologies and Carl Zeiss Measurement Systems, Cmmsimulator is available for Zeiss customers running Holos software.
Spatial's ACIS and InterOp translator products provide the 3D software components that form an integral part of Cmmsimulator simulation suite of programs for quality inspection.
AC and E's Technical Director, Yash Khandhia, commented: "Our focus is on developing powerful manufacturing simulation software for co-ordinate measurement machines as well as robotics and soft machine applications".
"The partnership with Spatial means that we have a solid base of technology with which to perfect and develop our simulations to assist with programming phasesand second-stage simulations, before they reach the machines after our verification".
"Spatial's expansive install base sets fertile conditions for development of applications that integrate closely with other Spatial-enabled applications", said Keith Mountain, CEO of Spatial.
"By using ACIS and InterOp translators, AC and E's Cmmsimulator sets optimal conditions for collaborating with Carl Zeiss, since they share common Spatial 3D functionality".
