Simulation of machining process for CNC training is significant considering its lower cost and risk free nature. Hardware CNC simulator is equipped with a CNC controller along with MPG, MOP as well as speed and feed override knobs.

It gives an actual experience of machine operation to participants. Participants can take tool offsets, work offsets and execute the job on CNC simulators.

The CNC simulator system is developed for simulation of multiple machining processes with risk free simulated process.

Few of the prominent advantages of hardware CNC simulators are as follows:

  1. Hands on experience on actual CNC control
  2. Tool offsets as well as work offsets makes process exactly similar to actual machining process
  3. Handy design makes it feasible to carry it in a classroom
  4. Industrial MOP, MPG as well as CNC
  5. Complete 3D simulation of the job
  6. Turning + Milling simulator in single setup
  7. Single phase supply

Currently, there are two simulators which are as follows:

  1. Siemens CNC Simulator
  2. Fanuc CNC Simulator
