Virtual CNC is a comprehensive virtual simulation software package, developed for predicting the performance of a realistic and modular CNC system in a computer simulation environment. It can be used as a learning tool, as well as an optimization tool for a real CNC system. Furthermore, Virtual CNC assists users in the axis feed drive and controller design. Virtual CNC has the following features: · Definition of new 3-Axis and 5-Axis machine. · Creating tool path or loading a saved tool path file (CL file or APT file.) · Configuring the trajectory generation including the kinematic profile, interpolation type and smoothing type. · Flexible ball screw feed drive design and analysis. · Allow to try out various feed drive design alternatives, control laws and sensors with different resolutions. · Advanced analysis of frequency analysis, axis tracking error and contour error. · Allow to export the simulation results including the axis tracking error and contour error. |
