Software & Digital Solutions

Using NextMeasure is easy. Once the software is downloaded, anyone on the team is able point and click to take the required measurements. Because the solution is universal and works with all major sensors and portable measurement devices, upgrading and evaluating equipment is straightforward; multiple platforms can be evaluated from a single user environment.

Morph, Parallel, Along Curve, and Project Curve are no longer individual toolpaths. Instead, users can now find the same functionality inside the Multiaxis Unified toolpath, which allows for more flexibility in cut pattern when programming multiaxis, all within a new advanced feature set and consolidated, easy-to-use interface.

The TraceBoss software interfaces with most portable surface roughness gages via a USB connection. One click in TraceBoss configures the gage, initiates a measurement, and presents the results and graphics full screen and in high resolution. The software display is optimized for the highest visibility in shop environments.

The 2022 update features significant improvements in flexibility, enabling the software to be adapted to individual production needs; usability, for a better user experience and process visibility; and efficiency and automation, reducing manual steps for faster processing.

Mastercam is the most widely used CAM for the 28th year in a row.

Along with a discussion of how VERICUT software helps intelligent cutting tools with optimization, CGTech debuted its CNC Machine Connect system, which features Precheck and Live Monitoring modules.

Powerful mesh creation and editing capabilities deliver a new class of modeling tools.

Alan Levine, managing director for OPEN MIND Technologies USA Inc., highlights the advancements of the company's hyperMILL® CAM software with an overview of several sample components manufactured with the software.

The 3D Gripping Point Detection technology is a highlight of HALCON 22.11. It can be used to robustly detect surfaces on any object that are suitable for gripping with suction. In contrast to classic bin-picking applications, this new technology eliminates the need to train object surfaces.

IMSce for Mastercam combines IMS G-code emulation with the ModuleWorks simulation and post processing technology to provide a G-code parsing solution that connects directly to Mastercam. The solution enables Mastercam users to simulate and verify G-code including controller variables, subprograms, expressions and canned cycles for a wide range of machine tools before the workpiece is mounted on the machine.

The primary focus for IMSpost and IMSverify 8.4 was improved performance and enhanced user productivity through user interface enhancements. Updates to IMSverify include: New variable pane for display and monitoring of controller variables, including a new watch window. Debugging of subprograms.

MAINDO embodies Industry 4.0 principles by integrating, sharing and enhancing data generated by Marposs systems focused on quality control, production processes and environmental conditions. Data that is typically stored in separate domains --- such as machine parameters, production process information, inspection results and continuous improvement process information -- are brought together to into a single view to provide information for failure detection and prediction.
