NCG Cam v20.0.02: The CNC Code Generation & Optimization Platform
NCG Cam v20.0.02 is a specialized software suite focused on the generation, editing, simulation, and optimization of CNC machine tool programs (G-code). It serves as a critical link between CAM software and the physical machine, providing powerful tools for post-processing, code verification, and editing to ensure efficient and error-free machining.
Core Function: Bridging CAM Output to Machine Execution
Its primary role is to take toolpath data from any CAM system and translate it into precise, machine-specific G-code using customizable post-processors. It then allows for in-depth editing, optimization, and realistic simulation of that code.
Key Functions:
-
Advanced Post-Processor Development: Create, edit, and debug custom post-processors to generate perfect G-code for any CNC machine controller (Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, etc.).
-
Intelligent G-Code Editor & Optimizer: Edit NC programs with syntax highlighting and powerful tools. Optimize code by removing redundant commands, shortening paths, and adjusting feeds/speeds to reduce cycle times.
-
Realistic Machine Simulation: Perform full machine tool simulation (including kinematics) to visually verify G-code, detect collisions, and prevent costly crashes before sending to the shop floor.
-
Backplotting & Analysis: Visually backplot toolpaths from G-code to verify geometry and analyze tool movements, feeds, and spindle speeds.
