CGTech will release Vericut 6.0, a new version of the NC verification software Vericut, in March 2006. The new version further enhances the software's simulation capabilities.
Vericut 6.0 allows users to view and configure multiple machine settings using a project tree, each with its own separate machine structure, fixtures, Tools, control systems, and simulation settings. Cutting blanks can be transferred from one machine task to another while being automatically positioned. Once the user has selected the machine configuration, information such as blanks, fixtures, and design models are bundled with the machine and can be compared to the entire machining process.
Vericut 6.0 redesigned the tool manager to make Vericut's program optimization module, OptiPath, easier to use. The tool optimization library will be set in the tool manager, which not only simplifies the use process, but also allows different tools to refer to the same optimization library. The new tool assembly wizard allows the user to create a new milling cutter in the form of a dialog box in a simple user interface. If the user has already created a knife in another magazine, the user can refer to or copy the entire tool or blade, holder and create a new tool.
Vericut's model output functionality has been enhanced in 6.0 to output CATIA V5, ACIS SAT and STEP models, and the model output can create CAD models in any process of the Vericut analog NC program. This model contains various machining features such as holes, chamfers, arcs, grooves, bosses, etc. These features are very precise and identical to the actual machined features. In Vericut 6.0, the model output can output features that can be generated, and individual features that cannot be generated or bad features (such as "pits" generated by ball-end knives) can output comprehensive features. Other enhancements make the surface and boundaries of the model smoother. The output file uses the NURBS trim curve to reduce the file size.
In addition, Vericut is able to generate process models and is an ideal tool for generating probe programs. Using the geometric features left in the Vericut analogy process to create the probe program makes real-time detection possible on the machine. In addition, Vericut 6.0 can also create inspection files in HTML or PDF format for use by machine operators and quality control personnel.
