Vericut Force

Vericut Force is a physics-based NC program optimisation software module. It analyses and optimises tool paths and machining conditions to slash your machining times.

Put simply, Vericut Force helps you make your most effective NC programs, ever. It optimises the program for the given material, cutting tool, and machining conditions, all to save you time, energy, and money. 

Vericut Force accurately calculates new program feed rates, and performs block break-up to remove material using a constant ideal chip thickness. This is accomplished while simultaneously limiting excessive cutting forces and spindle power requirements.

Vericut Force unleashes an array of machining efficiencies and improvements across your shop floor - resulting in faster parts to market, the preservation of your tools and machines, and the ability to make the most data-driven decisions possible. 

With Vericut Force, you can expect… 

• Significant cycle time savings - up to 25% faster.
• The prevention of collisions, scrapped parts, and machining excesses.
• More consistent chip thickness throughout the machining process.
• Enhanced cutting tool performance and longevity.
• FAST analysis and data to help you make better machining decisions.
• The ability and confidence to maximise lights-out machining outputs.
• A simple, user-friendly experience that global NC programmers love.

With Vericut Force, your shop floor can work smarter and harder than ever before.

• Faster parts production and delivery to market.
• Increased capacity without adding more machines.
• Vastly improved margin and decreased downtime.
• Better cutting tool and machine tool utilisation.
• Boosted part-to-part and job-to-job consistency.
• The knowledge that your machines are reaching their full potential.

Vericut Force offers a host of analytics and data that manufacturers like you can leverage to make your best-performing NC programs. Here’s just a taste of what’s on offer.

• Rapid visual analysis in the NC program and graphic review window.
• Side-by-side comparisons of the original and Force-optimised NC program.
• Clear demonstration of underutilised cutting conditions, excessive forces, and more.
• Cut-by-cut data of resulting Forces, Power/Torque, Chip Thickness, Material Removal Rates, Machine Tool Utilisation, Tool Deflections, and Feed Rates for both the original and Force-optimised NC programs.

Put simply, Vericut Force maximises and maintains the chip thickness, and matches the cutting conditions to the exact cutting tool performance parameters. 

This protects your tools and materials from unnecessary and excessive cutting forces, and optimised feed rates, machine tool paths, and spindle power requirements for your most accurate, error-free, and rapid parts production, well, ever.

NC programs, new or old, can be optimised with Vericut Force to run as efficiently as possible to achieve maximum safe cutting potential. 

Force optimisation can further enhance even the latest CAM-generated “dynamic” or “adaptive milling” toolpaths or previously optimised NC programs.

Absolutely not. Instead, Vericut Force will create a separate file with a “.opti” extension.

You can indeed! Vericut Force has a feature that displays the original and .opti file side by side for a visual comparison. One-click—compare files.
