Diversified Machine Systems Announces International Partner Fagor Automation's Free Online CNC 8060 Simulator Tool
Colorado Springs-based 3 & 5 Axis CNC router designer & manufacturer, Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), introduces Fagor Automation's free CNC 8060 Simulator Tool available online. Fagor CNC Controllers are standard features on most DMS CNC Machine Centers.
Colorado Springs, CO March 06, 2014
Diversified Machine Systems, a leading US-based 3 & 5-axis CNC machine center designer and manufacturer in Colorado Springs, CO, announces Fagor Automation's CNC 8060 Simulator available at FagorAutomation.com.
The 8060 Simulator allows users the ability to utilize the intuitive Editor for offline programming using a host of software tools designed for easy program creation. The Interactive Editor allows the user to choose the type of operation needed in an Interactive method. The CNC Simulator then prompts a graphic example of the operation selected, and allows for seamless variable entry through a question and answer, fill-in-the-blank format.
"At DMS and for our DMS clients, the Fagor Simulator has become an increasingly valuable tool. We use the simulator to educate and train customers, especially new users in advance of receiving their machinery", explains DMS Executive Vice President & CSO, Ed Hilligrass. "Large and small companies alike use the simulator to gain a competitive edge, because it allows their engineers and sales team to quickly evaluate, create, and respond to bid packages."
As an advanced feature, the CNC Simulator allows users to setup the online tool as is the 8060 CNC Controller, and actual specific machine tools are configured utilizing a library of parameters, with all considerations of the type of machine, axes travels & machine dynamics included in the program creation and in the simulation of the finished program. The Simulator even takes into account the Feeds and Acceleration/Deceleration of the actual machine tool during the simulation, thus providing accurate machining cycle time estimates.
Upon completion, the user can upload and download the programs to the CNC Machine Tool. There are no program size limitations that can be created or uploaded to the CNC. The Simulator is available for most conventional Milling & Turning machine tool configurations. Fagor Automation has announced that a more advanced commercial version capable of more advanced machine configurations will be available in the near future.
Fagor Automation designed the free 8060 Simulator to be a useful tool for:
*Technical Trainings
*Editing/Simulation in Design Departments
*Machining Cycle time estimates
*Valuable for Quotation preparation
*Shop floor program creation for the Operator while Machine is in an active executing program

Featured Product

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
