EUREKA is a kinematics simulator package for collision checks, during the virtual machining accurately reproduces every dynamic component of the CNC machine:
EUREKA realistically displays movements of all rotating and linear axis while detecting over travel of the machines limits and collisions with the head, table or fixtures. It puts at user’s disposal many different tools to eliminate the critical conditions. The collisions check is active during every movement executed by the tool both in contact with the workpiece during rapid moves. EUREKA simulates ISO files, created from CAM or at the CNC control, performing subroutines and macros in the native language of the CNC. It can understand special cycles, manage variables and local origins. MDI and JOG functionalities are supported as well.
EUREKA supports any machine and any Numerical Control existing on the market. It can import IGES or STL models of the machine, workpiece, fixtures, and of the tooling etc. It can simulates any kind of drilling, boring, milling or turning operation with an unlimited number of rotating and linear axis moving simultaneously.
The target of EUREKA is to drastically improve the amount of unattended machining as well as to use offline ISO program testing. This will avoid dry runs at the CNC machine, increasing uptime. Eureka represents a main link in the production flow from the design to the final product: it removes the possibility of causing accidental damage to the machine, which in turn avoids repair charges while keeping the scheduled delivery dates; total safety during the execution of the NC ISO files will allow higher feed rates, achieving a further increase in productivity.
The problem with most integrated kinematics simulators existing on the market today is that they run a temporary intermediate file for the simulation – not the actual ISO code that is run on the machine. The user can not be certain of immunity from collisions, or motion of range.
EUREKA executes the actual ISO file, created at the CNC control or by a Cam system. In the case of collision, EUREKA allows the following changes to be made:
) Edit the coordinates of the collided points then rewind the file and simulate again;
2) Rotate the head
3) Rotate the table
4) Move the position of the workpiece
5) Change the tool, holder or extensions
Once the action has been verified EUREKA will modify and validate the ISO file that can be immediately executed by the CNC, without going back to the CAM environment to re-compute the toolpaths – resulting in a large loss of time. Finally the Robopost module of EUREKA allows inverse postprocessing from ISO to APT and the conversion between different ISO format files.
