Webinar: From virtual validation to optimised machining performance

Reduce risk before production starts and unlock new productivity gains on the shop floor 

Machine shops today face increasing pressure to do more with less. Skills shortages, tighter delivery schedules, higher tooling costs, and growing demands for quality leave little room for error. Manufacturers need ways to optimise production without taking unnecessary risks. 

In this live webinar, Siemens and XYZ Machine Tools, one of the UK's leading machine tool suppliers will demonstrate how manufacturers can use the Digital Twin technology to simulate critical machining processes before production begins. Learn how to validate CNC programs, detect potential collisions, improve cycle time accuracy, and train operators in a safe, risk-free environment.

But virtual validation is only the beginning. 

You'll also discover how the machining process can be optimized in real-time during production. Using ACM Suite, manufacturers can further increase productivity by minimizing cycle times, extending tool life, and detecting tool breakages during machining.  

Join us to see how a connected digital workflow helps manufacturers move from confidence before production to continuous improvement during production.

What you'll learn

Validate before you cut 

Discover how Digital Twin technology helps you prepare and validate machining processes before production starts by:

  • Simulating CNC programs using the real SINUMERIK CNC kernel 
  • Detecting collisions before they occur on the machine 
  • Verifying complete machine setups, tooling, fixtures, and workpieces 
  • Predicting cycle times more accurately for production planning and quoting 
  • Training operators in a realistic and risk-free environment 

Optimize while cutting

See how ACM Suite easily integrates into your existing machining processes to optimise machining performance by:

  • Identifying opportunities to reduce cycle times 
  • Monitoring tools for breakages 
  • Increasing machining productivity and extending tool life 
  • Easy installation and setup with no modifications to your NC programs  
  • Supporting continuous process improvement with cutting data insights
