Diversified Machine Systems, a leading US-based 3 & 5-axis CNC machine center designer and manufacturer in Colorado Springs, CO, announces Fagor Automation's CNC 8060 Simulator available at FagorAutomation.com.

The 8060 Simulator allows users the ability to utilize the intuitive Editor for offline programming using a host of software tools designed for easy program creation. The Interactive Editor allows the user to choose the type of operation needed in an Interactive method. The CNC Simulator then prompts a graphic example of the operation selected, and allows for seamless variable entry through a question and answer, fill-in-the-blank format.

"At DMS and for our DMS clients, the Fagor Simulator has become an increasingly valuable tool. We use the simulator to educate and train customers, especially new users in advance of receiving their machinery", explains DMS Executive Vice President & CSO, Ed Hilligrass. "Large and small companies alike use the simulator to gain a competitive edge, because it allows their engineers and sales team to quickly evaluate, create, and respond to bid packages."

As an advanced feature, the CNC Simulator allows users to setup the online tool as is the 8060 CNC Controller, and actual specific machine tools are configured utilizing a library of parameters, with all considerations of the type of machine, axes travels & machine dynamics included in the program creation and in the simulation of the finished program. The Simulator even takes into account the Feeds and Acceleration/Deceleration of the actual machine tool during the simulation, thus providing accurate machining cycle time estimates.

Upon completion, the user can upload and download the programs to the CNC Machine Tool. There are no program size limitations that can be created or uploaded to the CNC. The Simulator is available for most conventional Milling & Turning machine tool configurations. Fagor Automation has announced that a more advanced commercial version capable of more advanced machine configurations will be available in the near future.

Fagor Automation designed the free 8060 Simulator to be a useful tool for:

*Technical Trainings
*Editing/Simulation in Design Departments
*Machining Cycle time estimates
*Valuable for Quotation preparation
*Shop floor program creation for the Operator while Machine is in an active executing program

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
