quickly and easily identify problems and unsafe cutting conditions lurking in their NC programs. With a single click, users can review problemcausing cuts, which if left uncorrected, could cause chatter, break the tool and damage the part or machine. Force optimization automatically corrects these issues, such as excessive cutting forces, metal removal rates, power, torque, and tool deflection while simultaneously correcting under-utilized cutting conditions by raising them to optimal performance levels.

What are the solutions that you have highlighted and showcased at IMTEX 2019? As the world’s most advanced independent CNC machine tool simulation, verification and optimization software, VERICUT it as at the heart of the CNC manufacturing process for many of the world’s leading automotive and motorsport engineering businesses. At IMTEX, we are showcasing the latest release, VERICUT 8.2, which introduces a new optimization module – Force Turning.

Force is a physics-based NC program optimization module that analyses and optimizes cutting conditions to achieve ideal chip thicknesses, while managing the cutting forces and spindle power required. The latest module, Force Turning, optimizes turning and mill-turn operations, when combined with Force Milling. It makes it easy for anyone to create NC programs for optimal cutting of inside and outside diameters, shoulders, as well as in corners and tight spaces – without the worry of encountering excessive cutting forces or high spindle power demands.

Force provides NC programmers with detailed information about the cutting process that they never had before. NC programmers Any Additive Manufacturing solutions on offer this year?

Yes, we are offering Additive Manufacturing capabilities as well as VERICUT composites application for programming and simulation of Automated Fiber-Placement and Tape-Laying Machines.

What has been the response at IMTEX this year?

This is our third year at IMTEX. Here, we see footfalls from visitors from a whole range of manufacturing segments which is why it is essential to be a part of this show. Opportunity wise I’d like to see more participation from aerospace and defence companies and visitors.

Can you share with us the recent performance of CGTech India?

Performance-wise we have grown by 25 percent as compared to previous years. Last year has been essentially good as even the Indian companies are investing in defense and aerospace sectors, which is a welcome news for everyone. It’s good to see that Indian manufacturing companies are tying up with foreign companies, and also expanding their facilities. Some of them are even setting up new facilities dedicated to aerospace and defense manufacturing. Last year, a majority of our customer base comprised India customers.
