General Description of the Product
The simulator is an integrated machine for teaching programming of milling operations with numerical control (CNC), which has an innovative design concept combining a software simulator of a three-axis milling machine and a real numerical control system.
The presence of an original control panel, a manual pulse generator (MPG) and a light indication system of the machine condition allows students to work in a single operating environment similar to a real CNC machine during training, laying a solid foundation for practical experience with real machines in subsequent practice.
