Machine Kinematic Simulation

Machine kinematics for Pro/NC is a new capability that enables the simulation of the NCL tool path with an actual machine. 

Some features include:

• Dynamic Collision detection with the solid tool, holder, and fixture
• Stop at collision
• Available for both Milling and Turning

In this exercise you will setup a 5-axis laser cutter NC machine and simulate a tool path.

1. Set Working Directory to MFG_MKS

2. Open  LASER_TEST.MFG

3. RMB on Trajectory Milling from the Model Tree and choose PlayPath.

4. Play Forward  and adjust the speed as necessary. Close when done.
