NCG CAM Solutions Ltd, UK has announced that NCG CAM is now officially a CAM software partner with CG Tech Vericut^TM verification software.

The NCG CAM-to-Vericut interface tightly integrates the two programs to help you create the most accurate and efficient NC programs possible! It makes verifying and optimising NC programs and simulating CNC machines an easier and more efficient process. The tools and NC program created in NCG CAM are easily transferred into Vericut via a command during post-processing.

Both the kinematics and CNC control of each machine tool are accurately modelled and defined inside Vericut, ensuring the checks mirror the exact behaviour of the CNC machine. Checking the actual code to be used by the machine and control system can eliminate both the need for on-machine CNC program try outs, and the possibility of a costly collision.

The NCG CAM-to- Vericut interface is available from NCG CAM Solutions Ltd.

Features:

• Very user friendly interface - making it suitable for even occasional users
• NCG CAM offers many advanced 3D machining routines, rest roughing & 3 + 2 capabilities for all toolpaths, a simultaneous 5-axis add-on module is available
• Fast and efficient roughing strategies, including core roughing and adaptive clearance
• Comprehensive drilling routines - includes automatic hole detection and/or user defined holes
• All machining routines are fully gouge protected for both the cutter and the tool holder
• Rest area option for finishing strategies to minimise any air cutting, and
• Available as both 32-bit & 64-bit versions (both are multi-threaded).

A demonstration version of the NCG CAM software, is available to download - www.ncgcam.com/demorequest.html. The demonstration version of NCG CAM has unlimited usage and while there are restrictions to the machining output, it can also be used in its basic form as a FREE .iges viewer.
