20 Years of Pioneering Digital Production
With Version 11, the INDEX Virtual Machine is undergoing its most extensive user interface upgrade in years. The focus is on faster workflows, greater ease of use, and significantly more efficient utilization in day-to-day engineering.
- Fully Integrated User Interface
All essential functions are consolidated into a single, seamless application.
No need to switch between different programs.
- New User Interface
Modern design, clearly structured operating logic, and significantly faster
workflows for programming, simulation, and optimization.
- Simplified 3D Measurement
Measurements can be performed more easily and quickly directly in the 3D
workspace and on the machined
workpiece.
- Simpler Setup
Tools and clamping devices can be configured and managed more conveniently
- Light- & Dark-Mode
The user interface can be customized to suit personal
preferences and different work environments.
Highlights
- 3D model with all INDEX tool carriers and spindles
- Machining simulation
- Collision monitoring
- Reduced setup time through easy troubleshooting on the PC
- Genuine Siemens 840D/840Dsl control system with complete control panel
- Identical behavior of the real and virtual machines
- Offline cycle time optimization on the PC during ongoing production
Maximize Production Time
Programs are developed, tested, and optimized in parallel with ongoing production. The machine remains productive while the programming for the next job is already being prepared.
Improve Process Reliability
Collisions and critical motion sequences are already visible in the simulation. This ensures that only validated programs make it to production.
Optimize Manufacturing Processes
Tool paths, machining strategies, and non-cutting times can be analyzed and optimized virtually. This results in shorter cycle times and a faster start to production.
Conveying Knowledge Effectively
The realistic simulation of the control system and the machine enables hands-on learning without posing any risk to people, the machine, or the workpiece
VirtualPro
VirtualPro helps you quickly create NC programs, both on your physical machine and your virtual machine. T
he result is a seamless digital workflow: from the first line of code through virtual commissioning to productive operation on the machine.
With technology-driven programming, graphical input dialogs, multi-channel support, and various import, contour, and DXF functions,
VirtualPro significantly reduces programming effort. The finished programs can then be tested, optimized, and released for production directly in the virtual machine.
Program faster. Simulate with greater confidence. Manufacture more efficiently.
For the full range of INDEX manufacturing technology
From production turning machines to complex turning-milling centers with 5-axis machining to multi-spindle turning machines: The INDEX Virtual Machine realistically replicates the current INDEX product line and provides comprehensive support for programming, setup, and optimization.
