Description

EcoStruxure Machine Expert, previously known as SoMachine, enhances engineering efficiency through user-friendly machine programming, featuring one of the most advanced and effective software tools available today. This innovative software solution facilitates the development, configuration, and commissioning of an entire machine within a unified environment, encompassing various aspects such as logic programming, motion control, robotics and mechatronics, simulation, diagnostics, as well as intelligent motor and load management, drives, and HMI (Vijeo Designer), alongside IIoT and network automation functions. By utilizing predefined templates, users can significantly reduce engineering time by leveraging comprehensive libraries or even introducing a new machine module. This all-in-one software is designed to meet the demands of both simple and high-performance machines alike, making it versatile for various applications. Additionally, the newly introduced Machine Expert Installer streamlines the software installation process, allowing it to be easily set up via the web, local folders, or physical media. This approach not only simplifies deployment but also ensures that users have immediate access to the latest features and updates.

Description

Predator Virtual CNC software simulates and verifies the operation of your CNC machines from your computer. Simulating the machining process offline can help you save time, money, scrapped parts, tool breaks, and machine crashes. It also improves safety and productivity. Predator Virtual CNC™, supports all standard vertical, horizontal, and complex machine configurations with 2-5 axis. Our flexible reverse post processors allow for user-definable machine tool configurations. This allows standard VMCs as well as HMCs to work with us. All standard milling, turning, and drilling cycles are supported. Advanced cycles, such as subs, macros and variables, logic codes, and trig codes, are all supported. Predator Virtual CNC is optimized to 3-axis surface milling and can handle large files without running out. Processing speeds of up to 3,000 blocks per minute are possible, while maintaining the required accuracy. Predator Virtual CNC 5 Axis also offers 3+2 support.
