Vemco VRTM-HW

VEMCO Virtual CNC Machine Trainer

High-Fidelity Industrial Simulation for Technical Education

The VEMCO Virtual CNC Machine Trainer is a robust, floor-mounted educational system designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and shop-floor practice. By integrating authentic industrial hardware with a sophisticated 3D virtual environment, it provides students and trainers with a risk-free, immersive machining experience.

Core System Architecture

Dual-Screen Interface: Features a massive Large Size smart Interactive Touch Flat Panel for real-time 3D machine visualization, paired with a dedicated 7-inch TFT screen integrated into the hardware control panel for status and diagnostics.

True Hardware Integration: Unlike software-only solutions, VEMCO utilizes a physical Machine Control Panel (MCP). This includes tactile knobs, function keys, and emergency buttons—onscreen or digitizer-based controls are not used, ensuring students develop real muscle memory.

Vemco Trainer Console

Multi-Controller Versatility: The system is configurable with industry-standard control logic. Choose from

  • o Fanuc (Turn + Mill)
  • o Siemens (Turn + Mill)
  • o Heidenhain (up to 5-Axis Milling)

Technical Specifications & Features

Authentic Hardware Control

  • Operation Modes: Fully functional keys for REF, AUTO, EDIT, MDI, JOG, and MPG
  • Manual Pulse Generator (MPG): Includes a physical handwheel for precise axis movement.
  • Physical Overrides: Dedicated feed rate override knob and spindle speed adjustment keys.
  • Safety & Execution: Industrial-grade Emergency Stop, Edit Lock, Cycle Start/Stop, and Reset keys.
  • Tooling & Spindle: Physical controls for spindle start/stop, coolant on/off, and tool change sequences.

High-Fidelity 3D Simulation

  • Realistic Environment: 3D graphics with full rotation, zoom, and pan capabilities. Includes realistic machining sounds and visual effects like coolant flow and chip evacuation.
  • Advanced Kinematics: * Supports 2-Axis (X, Z) for Turning. Supports 3-Axis to 5-Axis for Milling (depending on controller selection).
  • Industrial Logic: Simulates G-codes, M-codes, canned cycles, and subprograms.
  • Operational Setup: Students must perform part mounting, tool offset calibration, and work offset settings exactly as they would in a factory setting.

Intelligent Safety & Configuration

  • Collision Detection: Real-time alarms for tool collisions, axis over-travel, and safety violations (e.g., attempting a cycle start with the virtual door open).
  • Configurable Tooling: Virtual lathes and mills can be configured with different turret capacities and tool libraries (Turning, Milling, Threading, and Drilling).

Ideal For:

  • Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)
  • Polytechnics & Engineering Colleges
  • Vocational Excellence Centers
  • Corporate Skill Development Hubs
