CNC Guide 2
Simulate reality—develop, test, and optimize with precision.
CNC GUIDE 2 is not only a virtual CNC that gives you the option to accurately simulate part programs, but also replicates the mechanical characteristics of a real-world machine. By importing real machine data, such as the frequency response and friction models captured, the resulting simulation accurately reproduces a real mechanical system. Because CNC GUIDE 2 includes all the actual FANUC control algorithms, its output reflects the parameterization and tuning of a real CNC. For our machine tool builders, CNC GUIDE 2 can be used as a powerful development support tool to efficiently assist in the creation/debugging of screens and ladder programs.
CNC Guide 2 Intro
FANUC CNC GUIDE 2 simulates part programs and real machine mechanics using true control algorithms and imported machine data for accurate digital twin testing.
High Speed Simulation - CNC Guide 2
A fast, PC‑based CNC simulator that models real servo behavior, runs programs up to 20× faster, and checks cycle time, parameters, and surface quality.
Key Features
