A custom machine cannot simply be built and hoped to work. Simulate & Validate for Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) equips your engineering teams to prove structure, motion, cycle time, controls and safety before a single part is fabricated.
Simulate & Validate for SPM brings together structural validation, motion validation, cycle simulation, virtual commissioning and safety validation, the checks that confirm a machine will perform as intended under real operating conditions. Structural validation confirms frames, fixtures and moving assemblies withstand real loads and duty cycles. Motion validation, cycle simulation and virtual commissioning together prove that movement, throughput and control logic behave as required, while safety validation confirms that guarding and control logic protect operators under real fault conditions.
The result: a machine validated end to end, with fewer surprises during commissioning and a defensible record of proof for every stakeholder who needs it.
Validate motion for safe, repeatable performance
Motion Validation proves mechanisms, robots, gantries, conveyors and transfer systems will move as intended under real operating sequences. We run kinematic and dynamic analyses and cycle‑time studies to confirm reach, timing, clearance and synchronization so motions are safe, collision‑free and capable of the target throughput.
By validating motion before building, we prevent misses, undue accelerations, actuator undersizing and unstable transfers. The result is smoother operation, lower vibration and wear, and a validated motion specification that reduces commissioning time and secures first‑time functional performance.
Validate mechanism and system motion under real sequence loads.
