Machine Simulation Optionally Integrated<br />
within CAM Software Optimizes Tool Paths<br />
A recent development available in the<br />
V5 series of SURFCAM CAM software<br />
from Surfware Inc. is the Machine<br />
Simulation tool, optional functionality<br />
that SURFCAM users can add to the<br />
current release. SURFCAM V5.2 with<br />
Machine Simulation enables users to<br />
Robotmaster–<br />
We bring your robots to life!<br />
Intercam S.A. has been a developer and<br />
distributor of CAD/CAM software since<br />
1991. The company distributes Robotmaster<br />
software for the European market. The<br />
software is sold through local resellers in<br />
respective European countries.<br />
Robotmaster® offers a powerful software<br />
solution for programming industrial robots<br />
to perform simple to complex tasks with<br />
carry out highperformance<br />
machining simulation<br />
and CNC<br />
verification of<br />
SURFCAM tool<br />
paths from within<br />
SURFCAM.<br />
The machine<br />
simulator supports<br />
milling,<br />
turning and mill/<br />
turn applications with full machine<br />
simulation, tool-path and model<br />
analysis, and fast, highly accurate<br />
stock removal verification. It identifies<br />
problem areas such as potential<br />
collisions and gouges, and even overtravel<br />
conditions, allowing the user<br />
superior ease! It offers an integrated robot<br />
programming, optimization, simulation and<br />
program generation solution using industryproven<br />
CAD/CAM tools. Robotmaster<br />
generates optimized and error-free trajectory<br />
programming for tasks such as trimming,<br />
3D machining, deburring, polishing,<br />
dispensing, grinding and painting. These<br />
typically lengthy and expensive tasks can<br />
now be done in a fraction of the time it has<br />
taken in the past. You can now confidently<br />
and cost-effectively use robots for short<br />
production cycles that were previously<br />
impossible.<br />
Large aerospace and automotive companies<br />
and small machine shops are investing in<br />
Robotmaster as their cost-effective robot<br />
programming solution of choice!<br />
to make corrections prior to generation<br />
of NC code. The tool is suited for<br />
any CNC machines that support mills,<br />
robots and coordinate measuring<br />
machines, and provides specific support<br />
for an unlimited number of axes.<br />
The option provides full kinematic<br />
machine simulation with comprehensive<br />
collision and axis-limit checking.<br />
Its analytical tools cover many critical<br />
aspects of tool-path behaviour,<br />
including measurement of length segments,<br />
reversals, feed rate and height<br />
changes, refining tool paths so as to<br />
achieve optimum finish and quality.<br />
