Simple and real-time solution for CNC machining process - K-ha! NC

Outline

K-ha! NC is a CNC machining simulator for checking and validating NC programs, checking CNC machining results, and supporting design work in post-processes.
During the CNC machining process, unexpected machining problems such as tool and material damage almost always occur as a result of NC program errors.
Like material and tool damages, such machining problems can incur huge losses related to personnel expense due to the need to redo the pre-process, etc.

K-ha! NC is a CNC machining simulator which can detect all potential problems of the NC program used for your machining work by validating the 3-axes CNC machining results obtained from the NC program, tool information, and material shape.

The aim of this application is to validate the suitability of NC programs used for their 3-axes CNC machining processes by die and mold companies, and detect all potential problems in the machining process.

By using an image processing device (graphic board), K-ha! NC is able to realize high speed shape processing calculation more than 10 times faster than conventional products at maximum. (Japan Patent No. 3571564).

Concept

K-ha! NC aims to realize zero problems in the actual CNC machining process by detecting beforehand all feasible errors of the NC programs used. It has been designed based on the following three key concepts, taking into consideration the importance of not only providing a rich lineup of validation functions, but the need for these functions to be easily accessible in the normal workflow. "Resolves" NC data related problems "easily" and "at real-time". Zero redoing of pre-processes after machining. High interactivity between 3D-CAD/CAM functions.

Naming

K-ha! NC was named with the following hopes and ambitions.
K-ha was a group of outstanding Buddhist statue sculptors (Unkei, Kaikei, etc.) living in Japan about 700 years ago. Like them, it is hoped that K-ha will grow into a group of top-class software applications supporting the work of leading organizations involved in machining processes.
