Software Update
which includes new composites simulation functionality for CNC programmers.
The result of several years’ collaboration with major aerospace customers, NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 now makes
80 Models of Borescopes …and 18 years of experience helping you select the right one!
it possible to replicate material-laying processes executed by NC machines. As it does in conventional machining, NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 decodes all types of NC programs, representing the complete machine environment in 3D to identify and analyze programming errors and collisions. The “Composite” option of this version also enables a dynamic representation of fi ber-ribbon laying, taking into consideration the 3D form of the carbon fi ber. The po- sitioning of each fi ber in the ribbon is managed independently.
Updated NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 adds a new composites simulation module and easier integration of its NCdoc manufacturing data management.
Hawkeye®
Any Hawkeye Rigid or Flexible Borescope can quickly become a videoscope by simply attaching our Luxxor®
Rigid, Flexible, and Video Borescopes Video Camera, allowing high-quality video inspection
images to be displayed on portable video monitors, or, laptop and desktop comput- ers. Those images can be saved, documented and e-mailed. Our newest Hawkeye® V2 Videoscopes are fully portable, and offer 4-way articulation. We manufacture over 80 models of rigid, flexible, and video borescopes. Most are in stock and ready for overnight delivery.
NCSIMUL Machine 9.1 alerts users to issues that are specifi c to the way composites are processed and that are liable to occur on real-world machines: these include fi ber steering angle errors generating possible deviation, twisting of taut fi ber between the head and the po- sition on the spool, fi ber tension issues including speed disparities between fi bers or sudden changes of direction creating backwards laying.

The updated package also includes its NCdoc add-on now fully integrated into NCSIMUL Machine 9.1, allowing programmers to use just a few clicks to create a set of documents for the shop fl oor from machining simulation infor- mation, such as tool sheets with associ- ated times, tooling assembly sheets, machining results between operations, and internal check sheets.
