Silma

Silma X4 is an offline simulation and programming software for 3D metrology designed to optimize the preparation of inspection processes before their execution on a machine. It allows the creation of a digital twin of the measurement environment, virtually reproducing machines, parts, and processes, which facilitates precise planning without interrupting production. Its main advantage is offline programming, which allows the development and optimization of measurement programs directly from CAD files without the use of physical equipment. This reduces machine downtime and improves productivity, as programming tasks are performed in parallel with the production process. Furthermore, it incorporates automated functions to generate toolpaths and apply tolerances directly from the design. Silma X4 offers a realistic 3D simulation environment that allows the visualization of toolpaths, the simulation of movements, and the detection of potential collisions before the actual inspection. This helps anticipate errors, optimize paths, and ensure safe execution, reducing risks and improving quality. The software is flexible and compatible with a wide variety of machines and multisensor systems. Its virtual library allows for the accurate reproduction of the real working environment, adapting to different industrial needs. Thanks to these capabilities, Silma X4 allows for program validation before execution, reducing cycle times and minimizing errors. It can also be used as a training tool in a virtual environment. With its focus on simulation, automation, and digital twins, Silma X4 is a key solution for improving efficiency, accuracy, and productivity in 3D inspection processes.
