NCVIEW/NCVIEW Neo/NCVIEW MC3 2021 Release Notes

New Features Overview

It possible to simulate Face Mill(round top tip) tools

The cutting shape is accurately reproduced, and collision of the tool bottom, which was difficult to check before, can be verified in advance by simulation. It can also be set the maximum ramping angle for each tool and check if the moving angle during machining is within the set angle. Prevents damage to tools and workpieces and enables safe machining.

■　Face Mill Tool settings Dialog　　　Tools can be registered from the following dialog box

■　Check the ramping process

Detect collision at the bottom of the tool(the part inside the tip)
Check if the direction of movement exceeds the set ramping angle.
Also in case of herical processing, detect collision at the bottom of the tool(the part inside the tip)

＊Face Mill collision check/Ramping angle check are function of NCVIEW Neo / NCVIEW MC３

Improved the processing speed of cutting simulation

Cutting simulation is decreased 50%-90% compared to NCVIEW2020.
