NcCycleSense — Cycle time estimation for NC programs

Your NC program is never uploaded. Everything runs inside your browser. You can confirm it in your browser's Network panel: the page only loads its own files, and your program never appears in any request. How to verify →

JavaScript is turned off. This tool does all of its computing inside your browser, so without JavaScript there is nothing to compute with — which is also why your NC program is never uploaded.

Control milling programs, up to 10,000 lines per load (all files combined). What this control computes → Need another controller, or a lathe? →

There are more rotary arrangements than these (45° nutating heads, other axis-letter combinations…). If yours is not here, download the blank template and write the chain yourself — it documents [[joint]] in full, including the rule that table-side axes take a negative direction and tool-side axes a positive one.

The numbers are inferred from a machine class and are not measured from a real machine (where they come from). Make it your machine: build a file / blank template — machine files are not uploaded either.

NC CYCLE TIME SIMULATION

The cycle time, simulation report and 3D path appear here

Pick a machine on the left and load an NC program, or click one of the built-in samples. This column stays put after the run, so you can watch the number while you change a parameter.
