What is AlphaCUT ?
AlphaCUT is a NC code based Machine Simulator. Toolpath is not required.
Sample:3AxisMovingTable
AlphaCUT is an Extra Cost Option of AlphaCAM
Distributor License can run AlphaCUT NOW ! AlphaCUT page AlphaCUT View on AlphaCAM View
In my case , the beginning was
checking my 5 axis postprocessor
Using AlphaCUT.

Crash is reported when
Rapid move cut Material
Attachment Exchange
Snout Angle Head
Universal Index Universal Index + Angle

Verification
Roughing Parallel Machining Rest Machining
You can compare anytime you want to do
Target Verification Cut result
Verification is always
5 axis

Split Material 1 Put Colors to separated material
Split is done Show one
Sample:WaterJet
Split Material 2
Material is separated Abandon and continue Material is separated
Abandon and continue Abandon and continue

Tool definition 1
Milling and turning tools are defined in a same dialog
AlphaCUT can load tool from AlphaCAM toolpath / tool file
Tool and Holder profile can be loaded from and saved to AlphaCAM
Tool definition 2
Taper Square Ball Taper Radius
User Defined
Crash is detected when
tool shank touches
material
This area can cut material
Overload detection
Overloaded block is remembered
Overload Detail and
Real time load meter
Offset memory
Offset memory works same as true machine
in Tool Length Compensation , Tool Radius Compensation
Values can be loaded from AlphaCUT tool database
General type Simple type
