Virtual Gibbs MTM for multi-channel machining centers (MTM)
and Swiss-style lathes
If you produce geometrically demanding components in medium to high volume with multi-channel turning/milling centers (also known as multi-task machines, MTM) and sliding headstock automatic lathes, you need CNC software that offers a high degree of flexibility. Virtual Gibbs fully supports the high level of complexity of the machine and grows with your requirements.
Universal Kinematic Machine technology
The Universal Kinematic Machine (UKM) technology from Virtual Gibbs enables users to program and simulate machines with any number of axes and channels.
Multi-turret and multi-spindle machines
Multi-channel machines offer a variety of different spindle and turret combinations. A configuration with two spindles and two turrets is common today, and the number of new machines with more spindles and turrets continues to increase. With Virtual Gibbs MTM, you as a user are prepared for all developments.
MTM Sync Manager
The Virtual Gibbs GO MTM Sync Manager provides an easy-to-understand, intuitive, graphical interface that allows you to focus on optimizing your process. The Sync Manager takes into account all underlying channels/process flows.
Machine Simulation
As an extension to the integrated simulation and verification of material removal, Machine Simulation uses and animates complete machine tool models to identify program errors before they cause costly errors in production.
Programming Swiss-type lathes
Lathes (or Swiss-style machines) are increasingly being used where parts need to be manufactured with maximum precision, but also where unmanned production is required. Thanks to its intuitive Sync Manager in conjunction with UKM technology, Virtual Gibbs MTM is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for programming these complex machines.
Non-cutting auxiliary operations
Virtual Gibbs supports the full range of auxiliary operations used by your machine tool and provides complete control through to post-processor output. The complete consideration of non-cutting movements ensures that you realize the full potential of your MTM machine during programming.
Complete visualization of machining
The integrated simulation of Virtual Gibbs MTM allows you to fully check your work on screen, including simultaneous machining with multiple tools, minimizing the risk of collisions.
Our own post-processor development
Our own team of experienced post-processor developers ensures that you receive a program output that is specially adapted to your machine tool. For postprocessors supplied by us, we take over the configuration of the program output according to your requirements.
