: Automatically detects and highlights any physical interference between the tool, workpiece, and machine components, as well as moves that exceed the machine's travel limits.
: Use the Simulation Report to review any detected collisions or syntax errors. Release Context (July 2023)
CIMCO Machine Simulation is a powerful add-on for CIMCO Edit that allows users to visualize the entire CNC manufacturing process on a 3D machine model. This helps identify potential collisions or axis over-travel before code is ever sent to a physical machine. cimco-edit-software-machine-simulation-8-10-07-2023
: New features in the 2023 version include "Axis Control," which uses sliders to track and manually adjust each axis position to check for clearances.
: The NC program runs in a left pane while a 3D simulation of the machine—including heads, spindles, and rotating tables—displays in the center. This helps identify potential collisions or axis over-travel
To "put together" a simulation in CIMCO Edit, follow these general steps:
: In the Geometry Manager , right-click to add your stock (e.g., from a DXF file) and fixtures. To "put together" a simulation in CIMCO Edit,
: In the Editor Setup , install and select the specific machine model you wish to simulate.
