£9750 for the first year, £5K p/y after that.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.
How do we do that? We combine machining dynamics modelling and
cutting forces to prevent chatter.
Our SenseNC Finesse solution autonomously
creates new operations with
optimal feeds and speeds to avoid chatter
vibrations for complex toolpaths in milling operations.
Eliminate harmful chatter vibrations for complex milling
toolpaths,
reduce the number of iterations on machine tools.

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.
Integrated within Siemens NX CAM and Mastercam for best process workflow, all optimization results are stored within Siemens NX CAM and Mastercam for tracking any modifications made.
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.
Applying Feeds can bring huge savings!
- Increase productivity
- Reduce cycle time
- Increase Material Removal Rate
- Extend tool life
- Improve sustainability
- Reduced spikes and vibrations

Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency: Feed Rate and Spindle Speed Optimization for NMIS
Read Case StudyTapStarter
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.
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.
Designed to simplify the life
of the engineer
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.
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.
Eliminate harmful chatter vibrations (simple machining
operations).

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.
