placement (AFP) CNC machines

VCP reads CAD surfaces and ply boundary

information and adds material to fill the plies

according to user-specified manufacturing

standards and requirements. Layup paths are

then linked together to form specific layup

sequences and are output as NC programs

for the automated layup machine.

VERICUT Composite

Programming (VCP)

VCS reads CAD models and NC

programs, either from VCP or other

composite layup path-generation ap-plications, and simulates the sequence

of NC programs on a virtual machine

Material is applied to the layup form

via NC program instructions in a

virtual CNC simulation environment

The simulated material applied to the

form can be measured and inspected

to ensure the NC program follows

manufacturing standards and require-

ments. A report showing simulation

results and statistical information canbe automatically created.

Reads CAD geometry o the layup orm

Used or collision detection and material applicationUses VERICUT virtual machine and control emulation to

simulate the layup machinery

Can be confgured or virtually any CNC syntax andmachine kinematics confguration

Reads the NC program and simulates the layup process

based on NC program commands

Validate the actual NC program that will run on the layupequipment

Add material to the orm based on NC program com-mands

Material is added in discrete layers/sequences, con-structing the workpiece exactly like the physical process

Checks the process or compaction roller/orm

conormance and direction

Veriy roller orientation to path Veriy path correctness to the orm and previously ap-

plied sequences/layers o material

Check roller conormance or bridging or excessivecompaction

Added material is

measurable and can

be inspected or manu-

acturing requirements

Measure lap, gapand thickness

Detect steeringradius violations
