    Emulator/simulator

    Hi Guys,
    I hope that someone can help me, or am I looking for rocking horse poo?
    I am after a piece of software (Preferable free) that will read an NC program and display graphically what the program does. I have dedicated software on all my machines, but for training purposes it would be far easier to use a PC, and not tie up machines in the shop. Now for the really trick bit. I am currently using machines with Heidenhain 155, Heidenhain 370 and fanuc controls, it would be really nice if the software in question would read all three types.
    Hopefully
    Mick

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for the rapid response, that does indeed look like a good piece of software for the fanuc controller.If it trials Ok it will become part of the training process. How about for the heidenhain? That is rocking horse poo, aint it?
    Cheers
    Mick
