Introducing the SenseNC Suite
SenseNC Finesse
Optimize your CAM toolpath automatically prior to manufacturing, no expertise is required.
Designed to simplify the life of the engineer
You can maximise the potential of your CNC machines and increase your productivity by applying optimal spindle speeds and feeds across the whole toolpath, customised to your unique machine setup.
Eliminate harmful chatter vibrations for complex milling toolpaths, reduce the number of iterations on machine tools.

SenseNC Feeds
Increase material removal rate and reduce cycle time automatically
Designed to simplify the life of the engineer
Feeds is an easy-to-use feed scheduler designed to simplify the lives of engineers. Press “optimize” and Feeds will find automatically the best feed rates for complex parts by dynamically selecting constraints at every cutting location across the toolpath before manufacturing, respecting the limits of the machine tool and machining operation and avoiding high forces acting on the cutting tool.
Feeds analyses cutting forces on a toolpath and regulates torque, chip thickness and power to achieve the best process. By modulating cutting forces, Feeds avoids cutting tool chipping and reduces tool deflection.
This comprehensive modelling of cutting forces takes into account the toolpath, the stock material characterisation and the tool geometry.

TapStarter
We provide the necessary hardware, software, and training to perform a tap test and use the results to optimise the machine settings for simple cuts in CNC milling.
Designed to simplify the life of the engineer
By using tap testing, you can determine the natural frequencies of machines; the result is known as the frequency response function (FRF) and it is unique to each machine tool assembly.
TapStarter finds the best spindle speed and depth of cut combinations for chatter free milling. We optimize feed rates based on torque/power capacities of machines and cutting force constraints.
FICEP: Noise Reduction and Productivity Enhancement
Our software stores the results of tap tests (FRFs) in a structured library for future access and uses them as input to our optimizers to determine stable regions.

Why use tap testing in combination with
Productive Machines
web apps?
To predict and identify the stability of machining operations against chatter vibration before cutting any metal
To assess the process transferability between the machine tools in the shop floor
To support the machine tool acceptance tests
Identify safe spindle speeds for machining by combining an
understanding of the behaviour of the installed cutting tool and
tap testing.
