software releases in machine tool simulation and collision detection technology offers advanced and flexible systems that can be customised to suit any application

Director of Sales and Marketing at MachineWorks, Mike Nicholson, said: ‘We believe that the person on the shop floor expects to see high quality graphics. If operators see a wire frame simulation for example, they automatically assume that because the graphics look outdated, the underlying technology driving the machine must also be old.

High quality graphics quickly overcomes this perception.’ The latest version of MachineWorks provides new functionality to support full machine simulation and a significant improvement to the breadth and performance of rendering.

MachineWorks’ customers have made the decision to take advantage of our cutting-edge functionality.

This reduces their time-to-market and allows them to make the most cost-effective use of their own resources whilst benefiting from the many years of development of our highly specialised simulation software.

This is the decision that over 60% of the CAM applications in the world have taken which is why the MachineWorks toolkit is recognised as the industry standard for material removal and full machine simulation.

MachineWorks’ features have become MachineWorks customers’ simulation and verification features inside their applications.

MachineWorks believes that simulation will become standard on all CNC controllers and offers an advanced and flexible solution that can be customised to suit any application.

Managing Director of MachineWorks, David Manley, said: ‘Most programming is done at the machine, on the shop floor.

By having simulation on the controller, operators on the shop floor are reassured that their programming /editing is error-free before the running of the machine.’ Some of the leading manufacturers in the industry such as OKUMA, Doosan, DMG, Hurco and EMCO have already integrated MachineWorks technology into their own applications to provide simulation.

Visitors to the MachineWorks booth will be able see MachineWorks in action inside their partners’ applications and take away the latest interactive multimedia CD proving the unique capabilities of MachineWorks’ technology.
