: The NC program runs in a left pane while a 3D simulation of the machine—including heads, spindles, and rotating tables—displays in the center.
To "put together" a simulation in CIMCO Edit, follow these general steps: cimco-edit-software-machine-simulation-8-10-07-2023
: Automatically detects and highlights any physical interference between the tool, workpiece, and machine components, as well as moves that exceed the machine's travel limits. : The NC program runs in a left
: In the Geometry Manager , right-click to add your stock (e.g., from a DXF file) and fixtures. : New features in the 2023 version include
: New features in the 2023 version include "Axis Control," which uses sliders to track and manually adjust each axis position to check for clearances.
: In the Editor Setup , install and select the specific machine model you wish to simulate.
CIMCO Machine Simulation is a powerful add-on for CIMCO Edit that allows users to visualize the entire CNC manufacturing process on a 3D machine model. This helps identify potential collisions or axis over-travel before code is ever sent to a physical machine.
