MachineWorks Partners With Mitsubishi.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SHEFFIELD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2004

CamMagic will feature MachineWorks simulation/visualization

technology

MachineWorks, Ltd., supplier of simulation and verification solutions, and Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社   Mechatronics (MECHAnics elecTRONICS) The combination of mechanical and electronic systems. Embracing robotics, industrial control systems and human interfaces in numerous disciplines, mechatronics is a major step beyond "electromechanical," in which only electricity is required.  Software Corp. (MSW (MicroSoft Word) See Microsoft Word. ), supplier of CAD/CAM CAD/CAM
 in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing.

Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers.
 Systems for EDM (Engineering Data Management) An information system that maintains the details of all engineering data while the product is in the design and concept phase. This includes geometry and changes to geometry. See PLM.

EDM - Electronic Data Management
 (Nagoya, Japan) and part of the Mitsubishi Electric Group, announced today the partnership between the two companies.

MachineWorks technology integrated into CamMagic provides exceptionally accurate simulation and Numerical Control (NC) verification. CamMagic DM v.2 will benefit from MachineWorks simulation features such as dynamic rotation and zooming, material removal, clash detection and part comparison analysis.

Thanks to Multicut, the unique MachineWorks patented engine, CamMagic new capabilities offer an exact representation when zooming infinitely. Likewise, it is possible to appreciate a perfect representation of a scallop scallop or pecten, marine bivalve mollusk. Like its close relative the oyster, the scallop has no siphons, the mantle being completely open, but it differs from other mollusks in that both mantle edges have a row of steely blue "eyes" and  height pattern left by a ball-end mill tool. Interestingly, the rest material is shown and this information is fed back into the CAM application by the target part comparison function.

"We felt that MachineWorks simulation was extraordinary and CamMagic users would benefit from their clash detection." comments Yutaka Tanaka, Head of the CAM Centre at MSW, "MachineWorks simulation will be run to check for clashes between the tool, holder, stock and fixtures prior to the actual running of the machine tool."

"MSW recognizes that CAD/CAM technologies are an important tool for enhancing machining performance and productivity through simulation and verification," comments David Manley, Managing Director of MachineWorks.
