Why Boosts tool life, speed, and consistency—no cloud required.?

FeedControl™ exists to help Siemens NX CAM users overcome common challenges in CNC programming—such as excessive cycle times, poor tool life, and unpredictable machining results. While NX offers powerful capabilities, it doesn't automatically account for variations in material engagement within conventional toolpaths. FeedControl solves this by applying a physics-based engine that analyzes any NX-generated milling path and dynamically adjusts feedrates for safer, faster, and more consistent machining. It requires no cloud connection and integrates seamlessly without disrupting your digital thread. Designed for NC programmers and manufacturing engineers, FeedControl enhances performance, reduces wear, and maximizes efficiency—all within your existing NX workflow.

Benefits

FeedControl™ improves tool life and cycle times by automatically adjusting feedrates in NX CAM toolpaths based on real material engagement—delivering safer, more consistent machining without altering your digital workflow or requiring cloud access.
FeedControl™ is easy to use and runs locally—no cloud connection needed—so NX CAM users can optimize toolpaths quickly and securely without IT hurdles, preserving workflow continuity and shop floor autonomy.
FeedControl™ enhances predictability in machining by reducing sudden tool load spikes in NX CAM toolpaths, leading to fewer broken tools, more reliable part quality, and smoother, stress-free machine operation.
FeedControl™ helps close machining skills gaps by automating complex feedrate optimization in NX CAM, enabling less-experienced programmers to produce expert-level results with minimal training or manual input.
