VERICUT Force – Vericut

ForceTM
Reduce Machining times by 25% or more with VERICUT Force

VERICUT Module – Alternative program optimization method that specifies the maximum reliable feed for a specific cutting condition based on the load on the cutting edge, spindle power and maximum chip thickness. Excellent for difficult-to-machine materials and complex multi-axis operations such as 5-axis flank milling.

An alternative program optimization method that analyses and optimizes cutting conditions throughout CNC Program operations. The result is significant time savings, and improved cutting tool and machine life.

Force is a physics-based optimization method that sets the maximum reliable feed for a particular cutting condition based on 4 factors:

Load on the cutting edge, spindle power, maximum chip thickness and maximum allowable feed. Force calculates ideal feed rates by analysing: tool geometry and parameters, material characteristics and cutting material, detailed cutting edge geometry and VERICUT Smart Part Technology. Force calculates cutting conditions using specific material characteristics, taking into account the strength of the material and the effects of friction and temperature. The material characteristics are based on actual cutting trials and not just on the basis of hypothetical calculations. Turning and drilling optimization functions will follow soon!

Force is ideal for difficult-to-machine materials and complex multi-axis operations such as 5-axis flank milling. Once the material has been defined, it can be applied to a wide range of cutting tools and machines in future NC machining operations. It is easy to set up and can also predict tool wear.

Force is extremely well-suited to materials that are difficult to machine, and for complex multi-axis operations. For real world efficiency gains, Force is the most innovative software currently available.

Premium AEROTEC

Premium AEROTEC benefited from the start with the new solution. The savings calculated so far are approximately 22 percent for the machine running times of the programs optimized with FORCE and also a significant improvement in tool life.

Optimize
VERICUT Force makes optimizing 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.

The first users of this technology have already achieved productivity gains of up to 50 percent.

Further advantages include:

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