Fanuc (www.fanuc.eu), a market leader in the manufacture of CNC systems, has chosen industry-proven material-removal simulation software from ModuleWorks to provide accurate workpiece simulation on its controls, thereby enabling operators to verify NC programs and detect collisions between the workpiece and the tool assembly directly at the control before machining (www.moduleworks.com).

ModuleWorks’ simulation technology also comes with advanced analytical tools for NC-program optimisation.

Mark Foti, head of ‘Digital Factory’ at ModuleWorks, said: “We are very pleased to be working together with a technology leader in the CNC industry on such a vital aspect of digitalisation.”

The ModuleWorks material-removal simulation is available as an optional feature for all Fanuc iHMIs.
