ModuleWorks Collision Avoidance System

As machining processes become more and more sophisticated, the risk of collisions between the tool, workpiece and machine components increases. Collisions mean costly downtime and cause expensive damage to the workpiece, spindles and sometimes even the whole machine. Most CAD/CAM vendors provide simulation software to check the toolpath for collisions before it is sent as […]
