VERICUT 7.0

 
VERICUT 7.0 VERICUT 7.0 apporte une amélioration significative des performances.
Les techniciens et ingénieurs de fabrication peuvent plus rapidement mettre au point,
analyser, contrôler et documenter leur programme CN et le processus de fabrication.

Interface Graphique

Objectif : réduire le nombre de fenêtres de dialogue pour ceux qui utilisent VERICUT quotidiennement ainsi que pour les nouveaux utilisateurs et, faciliter la mise en place des éléments.Résultat : créerun nouveau projet dans VERICUT n’a jamais été aussi facile.
Les éléments qui étaient dans des fenêtres de dialogue ont été placés dans l’arbre projet. Lorsque l’utilisateur sélectionne un élément de cet arbre, un panneau de configuration intuitif apparaît. L’arbre composant a été intégré à l’arbre projet. Le menu Projet est simplifié et ses actions reportées sur l’arbre projet.
 
       Les éléments qui se trouvaient
  dans des fenêtres de dialogue sont
maintenant dans l’arbre projet.Tout
       ce dont vous avez besoin pour
   configurer un projet VERICUT est
       entralisé de manière intuitive :
        la création de posage est plus
                rapide et plus facile que
                                     jamais ! 

 


DEPLACEMENTS
Le calcul des mouvementsde VERICUT 7.0 est entièrement nouveau et optimisé que la simulation des mouvements (la représentation à l’écran des trajectoires d’outil, à partir des données CN)
soit la plus rapide et la plus efficace à ce jour. Les mouvements sont maintenant synchronisés
dans tous les types de vue, et les outils sont plus finement représentés. Un bloc CN 5 axes est représenté par un seul mouvement, et les simulations sont globalement plus rapides car
leur calcul est plus efficient.

It is now possible to pause VERICUT in the middle of an NC block. Pressing Pause halts VERICUT immediately. The busy light is yellow when paused in the middle of an NC block, and displays green when stopped at the end of an NC block. If paused mid-motion you can complete the current block by pressing the Step button. If paused mid-cycle, pressing the Step button will finish the multi-motion cycle. Several new Step options are available by right-mouse clicking the Step button. These allow you to step into, over, or to the end of any subroutines used in your NC program sequence.

You now have more control over Drill Cycles. Options for “Full Motion” & “Bottom Only” add the same cycle time and only control the animation display. “No Motion” removes material and adds cycle time but without any animation, and “Ignore” skips the cycle with no added time. Drill, turn, and pocket cycles stop immediately, and can be continued to the end with Step or Play, while turn cycles prompt you to finish the cycle or jump to the end.
 
In version 7.0 the tool shank is shaded darker and the driven point can be anywhere relative to milling tool axis

COLLISION DETECTION
All collision configuration is now done via the collision branch in the Project Tree. 5.x and 6.x collision configurations are upward compatible and read into 7.0. This central location for all collision control eliminates any possibility of duplicate collision checks. All current functionality is maintained. You can define a near-miss collision with cut stock, and all near-miss and actual collision errors are separated in the logger. Components turn red upon first display of the collision contact, instead of at the end of the colliding motion.

CAM INTEGRATION
VERICUT can read NX Part Files directly when NX is on the same computer. NX parts can be referenced either directly from within VERICUT, or via the NX-to-VERICUT interface.

The CATIA V5–To-VERICUT Interface has been enhanced with many new features for managing tools. You can merge tools from a template with new tools from the Part Operation, and optionally put all unique tools in one tool library. You can also use CATIA-referenced STL models. VERICUT holders are now named using the holder names already defined in CATIA. Additional new features include the option to specify work offset subsystems and set model tolerances for the stock, fixture and design models. The interface optionally remembers the last options used. When working with multiple setups, the design model is only output in the first setup and moves with the cut stock.

ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS

  • VERICUT and the VERICUT license server are now Vista compatible
  • Option to automatically set working directory to current project’s folder
  • Optionally write and display thumbnail images in the project and machine files
  • Include visible CSYS in Report images
  • Adding a new setup renames the currently selected setup and increments its number
  • Minimum Cutter Extension option: Do not shorten
  • Polar measure in X-caliper
  • X-caliper measurement markers stay on screen
  • Save machine images and display thumbnail images in both the file selection dialog and in the choice list
  • A configurable tool bar gives you the ability to add/remove individual icons and display them in the order that works best for you

CGTech always welcomes input. Regardless of where the feedback is received – the VERICUT User forum, CGTech technical support, or at one of the many VERICUT User Group meetings held around the world – CGTech is listening. In all, over 400 customer driven enhancements have been included in VERICUT 7.0.
