hether you are a SME or a major
corporation you are looking for ways to
optimise your NC activity:

computational model.
Whether you are in a Test Centre or a
Technical Centre, you are seeking ways to
reduce the time used by your machines for
dry runs by establishing the optimal cutting
conditions as quickly as possible.
As a manufacturer of cutting tools you have
everything to gain by providing your sales
force with an electronic catalogue to help you
draw up customised estimates (or publish your
catalogue on line).
Developed by metal-cutting specialists, TOOL
SIMUL delivers a rational and innovative
solution for your machining implementations,
from one-off bespoke jobs to large production
runs.
THE BENEFITS
• A significant reduction of the machine time
spent on testing in the workshop, and more
time for production.
• Longer cutting tool lifetime.
• Reliable feed and speed calculations in less
than a minute
• Leverage your know-how in Tool-Material
combinations
• Faster turnaround between runs
TOOL SIMUL’S SPECIAL FEATURES
General view of the TOOL SIMUL interface
Milling
Drilling
Turning
• With its user-friendly man-machine interface, TOOL SIMUL is just as easy for CAM programmers and
workshop operators to learn as for cutting tool specialists.
• Its database and calculation algorithms are the result of 20 years’ experience and tests, and input from many
top players in the machining business
• Based on a functional description of the tools and current ISO standards
• Supports the three main machining technologies: milling, drilling and turning
• Recognises all the parameters of the machining environment: part status, clamping, roughness, tool holder
description... and includes them in the calculation of the cutting conditions
• Users can also factor in additional imposed constraints liable to have an impact on the tool’s performance
and envelope: machine power, tool lifetime, tool holder bending, etc
• Input data and calculation results can be exported in a range of formats including Excel and XML.
• Based on API, TOOL SIMUL can integrate seamlessly with other applications such as CAM
