Exploring the Latest Developments in MANUSsim Optimize

What is MANUSsim Optimize?

The optimization of NC programs has frequently been neglected because of two main challenges: the inability to observe how NC programs truly perform inside CNC machines and the high cost of software that offers such detailed analysis. MANUSsim Optimize is designed to overcome these obstacles.

Here's how MANUSsim Optimize achieves that:

Air Cut Feedrate Optimization

Air cuts are inefficiencies where the cutting tool either touches the material without cutting or moves without touching the material at all. These movements are often overlooked by traditional CAM software. MANUSsim Optimize automatically detects air cuts and adjusts the feed rates for these non-cutting motions, reducing wasted time and improving overall efficiency.

Air Cut Minimization

Long retracts and home returns can waste valuable machine time. MANUSsim Optimize identifies these unnecessary movements and generates optimized, shorter positioning moves just above the surface, ensuring smoother transitions between operations and reducing machine downtime.

Cutting Feedrate Optimization

Traditional CAM software typically applies a constant feed rate, ignoring the dynamic changes in chip load and stock geometry. MANUSsim Optimize dynamically adjusts feed rates in real-time based on chip volume and the 3D geometry of the stock. This ensures stable cutting forces, reducing machining time by 10% to 50% while maintaining precision and extending tool life.

Air Cut Feed Rate Optimization: Real-World Results

In our tests, we’ve seen dramatic improvements in efficiency. The key metric we’ve focused on in these test is air cut feed rate optimization, which refers to optimizing non-cutting movements to reduce cycle time using the first module of MANUSsim optimize. Here are some of the impressive results:

• Test 1: We achieved a 19.1% reduction in overall machining time, cutting a 2-hour 16-minutes process down to just 1-hours and 50-minutes.
• Test 2: We achieved a 19% reduction in overall machining time, cutting a 10-hour 22-minutes process down to just 8-hours and 21-minutes.

These results show the real potential of MANUSsim Optimize in speeding up CNC operations without sacrificing part quality or tool life.

Latest Cutting Feed Rate Optimization Test at ModelCNC

We recently completed our latest cutting feed rate optimization test in collaboration with ModelCnc Makina Sanayi Ltd. Şti. . This test was particularly significant because we optimized cutting feed rates without needing any extra details about the stock material type, tool specifics, or even the number of tool edges. Simply by adjusting cutting feed rates based on simulated conditions like depth of cut and width of cut, we reduced cycle time by 14%—all with a single click.

Key Benefits:

• Time Reduction: 14% improvement in machining time.
• Tool Life Preservation: The module also adjusts feed rates to prevent sudden increases in chip load, which minimizes tool wear and breakage.
• Ease of Use: No additional detailed input required. The module works directly with your G-code, making it an accessible solution for all users.

The Future of CNC Feed Rate Optimization

This is just the beginning. Our team is dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of MANUSsim Optimize, and the results will only get better. We are confident that this tool will revolutionize how CNC operations are performed worldwide, offering manufacturers greater productivity, cost savings, and improved tool longevity.
