Speed up with new Feedrates
Your daily business is to manufacture complex dies and molds. To be fast and cost-effective, you need seamless integration of CAM system, machine/controls and milling tool. We help you to tap into the unused potential of your manufacturing equipment. Continuously adjusting the feedrate to varying engagement conditions allows better operating conditions for both machine and tool.
Milling times can be
reduced by up to 20%. This translates into real cost savings and substantial lead time reductions.
What is NCspeed
NCspeed is a software system for the simulation of 3- and 5-axis milling processes. The milling process is optimized with regard to machining time and process safety. Furthermore the checking of toolpath is possible.
Working method
Based on a volumetric simulation NCspeed can analyze the material removal process during milling. This principle enables a visual checking of the milling process. NCspeed shows for this purpose a shaded display of the continuously machined geometry. Due to this, it is possible to detect faults in the NC-program before a machining crash occurs.
The optimisation component of NCspeed calculates the material volume to be cut by the milling cutter and adjusts the feedrate to the actual engagement conditions. The more material is to be cut, the slower is the feedrate and vice versa. Based on this principle a new feedrate profile is generated.
NCspeed works as a postprocessor. A toolpath is reading, additional feedspeeds are inserted and the optimised program is written back.; All common toolpath formats like DIN/ISO, Heidenhain conversational and APT- can be used. The toolpath generated by NCspeed are of the same dialect as the original ones.

What is NCspeed NOT
NCspeed is no CAM-system. You can optimise existing toolpath but you can not generate completely new toolpath. Basically NCspeed inserts new feed commands. The geometry of milling paths is not changed. The milling machine will move the same way as with the original program. The only exceptions to this are the air cut removal and the optimisation of the path connections.
