Time Saving Enhancements

The latest NCL releas delivers a wealth of new capabilities for machining complex components including:

• New strategies in flow-line milling: New strategies have been added to reduce programming time by allowing the user to automate the machining strategy of NCL. The user has the ability to machine multiple surfaces in a single operation and the option of milling around avoidance surfaces.
• Feature Recognition: Tactics have been added that allow circular interpolation records to be processes as a single arc motion rather than a series of linear motions. The ability to process as a single motion results in a much quicker simulation of circular records and a more accurate measurement of circular cuts.
• Improved tool display: New tool displays have been added to the external library file including the shape of the cutter, shank and tool holder.

David Schultz, NCCS' Manager of CAD/CAM Applications says, "The key to successful manufacturing lies in the effective use of machining software. At NCCS, we believe the improvements to NCL's capabilities help to streamline the programming of five-axis complex parts on a variety of CNC machines".
