Force OptimisationCGTech’s VERICUT Force is a physics-based NC Program Optimisation software module that analyses and optimises cutting conditions throughout CNC Program operations.

VERICUT Force makes the most effective NC program for the given material, cutting tool, and machining conditions. The result is significant time savings, and improved cutting tool and machine life.

AnalyseForce provides the NC programmer with information never had before. Now NC programmers quickly and easily visualise what is happening cut-by-cut in the NC program as the tool contacts the material. With VERICUT Force you clearly see underutilised cutting conditions, excessive forces, metal removal rates, power, torque, and tool deflections. With a single click, the user sees a visual analysis in the NC program and also in the graphic review window.

Force has built-in material information that gives a revealing analysis of the machining process before running the NC Program on the actual machine. Force provides the user with a proactive analysis on NC programs, making them right the first time, a process that has been reactive in the past.

OptimiseVERICUT Force makes optimising an NC program fast and easy. Force calculates the contact between the tool and material, cut-by-cut. Force also takes the cutting tool edge and the material into account to adjust the feedrates to be optimal and constant.

Physics-based Optimisation

Force Benefits: • Significant cycle time savings • Charted cutting condition information for NC program analysis • FAST analysis and iteration for testing various cutting scenarios • Maximised and more consistent chip thickness throughout the machining process • Cut-by-cut analysis of the interaction between the cutting tool edge and the material • Prevention of undesirable cutting conditions like excessive force, HP/Torque, and tool deflection • Improved cutting tool performance—utilise cutting tool technologies to their full potential

Balance and PerfomanceVERICUT Force brings a balanced approach to the machining process. NC programs optimised with Force run at a maximum constant chip thickness while not exceeding the Tool (Force) or Machine limits (HP/Torque). Therefore, the performance and lifespan of cutting tools are greatly improved.
