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.
Prove controls and sequences before site commissioning
Safety Validation confirms identified hazards are effectively mitigated through guarding, safety functions, control logic and verification evidence. Custom machines combine many risks—moving axes, robots, clamps, stored energy, pneumatics/hydraulics, sharp tools, thermal and laser processes—so we verify protections behave under real operating and fault conditions.
We test safety functions, safe‑state transitions and mode behaviours, and produce documentation required for certification and customer review. The result is defensible safety evidence, fewer field incidents and smoother acceptance for operators, maintenance teams and compliance stakeholders.
