A concrete example of integration between CNC machine technology and advanced simulation
La collaborazione tra OMV SpA e Roboris rappresenta un esempio concreto di integrazione tra tecnologia per le macchine CNC e la simulazione avanzata. Il video mostra la simulazione del centro di lavoro HSR all’interno di Eureka Virtual Machining, evidenziando come la partnership tra costruttore e software consenta di gestire con precisione anche le lavorazioni più complesse.
Reattività nel servizio, profonda competenza tecnica
The HSR is a machining center designed and built for CAM production, involving components that require extremely high geometric accuracy and surface quality. The production process combines milling and grinding, two operations that must be perfectly integrated to ensure the performance and reliability of the finished part. The complexity of these operations makes it essential to validate every phase before execution on the machine. Virtual simulation is the best solution for ensuring every phase performs perfectly before jeopardizing expensive stock materials, wasting valuable machine time, and risking machine damage.
One of the distinguishing features of the HSR is radius compensation management through the orbital spindle, a technology that makes it possible to compensate for the tool radius and/or wear on paths generated by calculation software, which output the path along the cam groove centerline. This approach makes it possible to obtain accurate and repeatable results, minimizing the need for corrections on the machine and improving process efficiency.
Eureka Virtual Machining: a central role
In this context, Eureka Virtual Machining plays a central role. Through the Eureka G-Code module, it is possible to perform a complete and realistic simulation of the ISO program, based on the actual code used by the machine. The simulation faithfully reproduces the HSR kinematics and makes it possible to verify not only the toolpaths, but also all operating logic, including macros, cycles, and CNC control behavior.
In addition, Eureka Virtual Machining provides an accurate triangulated model (STL) of the stock, including material removal. This model can be compared with the CAD model to identify any discrepancies. This feedback is essential to ensure perfect alignment and control of product development and production processes.
Complete verification of the ISO program
Complete verification of the ISO program makes it possible to identify collisions, errors, and operational inconsistencies in advance, before production starts. This results in a significant reduction in setup times, machine downtime, and scrap, increasing the overall reliability and efficiency of the production process.
The integration between OMV SpA technology and Eureka simulation demonstrates how the combination of mechanical expertise and advanced digital tools can provide full control over machining operations, even in the most complex contexts.
