CATIA V5 -Machine Tool Simulation– MTX

It is essential to verify the machining process prior to beginning production in order to protect the costly machining tool investment and to maximize their use. Realistic simulation helps companies to reduce machine set-up and idle times, while ensuring the implementation of chosen machining strategies.

Overview

The CATIA - Machine Tool Simulation option enables NC machine ISO code-validation at an early stage to validate that the part will be machined correctly the first time. Fully integrated NC machine simulation enables the NC programmer to easily switch between tool path definition and tool path validation without losing time in data transfer or preparation, thereby reducing lead-time from programming to production.

Customer Benefits

• Reduction of lead-time from programming to production

• Unequalled tools and machine protection investments thanks to

  realistic simulation

• Tool path validation during NC programming to avoid problem and

  modification loops, and increase process quality

• Elimination of interface issues
