Multi-Axis Machining Simulation Software (EMAMSS)

Edsolab Multi-Axis Machining Simulation — 4-axis and 5-axis CNC training in a virtual, collision-safe environment.

Key Features

• 3D modeling based on OpenGL, with dual-monitor display
• Dynamic rotation, zoom, pan, full screen, and view switching
• G-code parse supporting ISO-1056 preparatory function codes (G codes), auxiliary function codes (M codes), and other instructions
• Support for 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machines
• 5-axis kinematic structures:
  • AC dual rotary worktable
  • BC dual rotary worktable
  • BC single swing head + single rotary worktable
  • BC dual swing-head structure
• More than 20 CNC systems and more than 50 operator panels
• Simulation of canned cycles, macros, and parameter settings
• Import workpiece from CAD file
• G-code debug tool
• Simulate post-processed files from UG, Pro/ENGINEER, and Mastercam
• Set, mount, and unmount the workpiece
• Broken-tool display after a tool collision
• Adjust a vise with a dial indicator
• Tool-preset views for completing tool preset
• Virtual instruments: edge finder, Z-axis gauge, probe, electronic probe, dial indicator, and hammer
• Multi-direction sectioning and measuring
• Fixtures including step clamp, edge clamp, vise, and custom clamp

Supported Controllers

EMAMSS includes FANUC, Haas, Fagor, Siemens (Sinumerik), Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, HNC, GSK, and other multi-axis CNC controllers. Catalogue examples:

• FANUC 0iMF Plus (4-axis, 5-axis)
• FANUC 0iM (4-axis, 5-axis)
• Haas VM (4-axis, 5-axis)
• SINUMERIK 840D (4-axis, 5-axis)
• FAGOR 8055M (4-axis, 5-axis)
• HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 (4-axis, 5-axis)

5-Axis Simulation Capability

The software supports 5-axis machining simulation and planar positioning from different directions. Rotary-axis combinations include A-C, B-C, and A-axis rotary structures for 4-axis or 5-axis worktable machines.

Learners can run the complete process on screen: edit the program, prepare the blank, choose and mount the cutting tool, preset the cutter, fixture the workpiece, then watch the cut. That shortens time-to-competence on a real NC machine and reduces the number of expensive multi-axis seats a college must buy for first-pass practice.

Who It Is For

• Engineering colleges, polytechnics, ITI / TVET, and CNC academies teaching 4-axis and 5-axis programming
• Labs that need collision-safe practice before students touch a live multi-axis VMC
• Instructors who want networked assignments, process recording, and automatic scoring
• Programs that already use UG, Pro/ENGINEER, or Mastercam and need to prove post-processed code before the machine
