CNC Machine Simulation | CIMCO
NC program simulation on 3D machine models
Eliminate costly programming mistakes and accelerate onsite startup with a price competitive and user-friendly solution for CNC machine simulation.
Simulate programs on machine models
Machine Simulation is an add-on for CIMCO Edit and a powerful addition to the existing Backplot.Prove-out your NC program on a 3D model of your CNC machine and see the exact movement of components such as heads, spindles, and even peripheral devices. Collisions and out of limit moves are automatically detected to ensure that error-free code is sent to the physical machine.
CNC Simulator – CIMCO Simulation
CNC program verification and collision-free machining
CNC simulation for safe and efficient machining
Accurate CNC simulation is essential to verify machining programs before execution, avoid collisions, reduce scrap and protect machines and tooling.
At SAMEC, we are official distributors and partners of CIMCO (Denmark), providing CIMCO Simulation as a professional solution for CNC program verification and simulation.
We support customers with software supply, implementation, configuration, training and technical support, adapting the simulator to real shop-floor conditions.
CIMCO Simulation
CIMCO Simulation is a high-end CNC simulation and verification solution that allows manufacturers to simulate complete machining processes in a virtual environment before running programs on real machines.
It is designed to detect errors early, improve safety and increase confidence in CNC programs.
