Assembly and method for training operators on a cnc machining device, production assembly comprising such a training assembly

An assembly for training operators on a CNC machining device comprising a control console and a CNC machine with at least one axis having at least one frame, at least one manipulator and at least one machining tool capable of being manipulated by the at least one manipulator, the CNC machine being controlled by the control console, the training assembly comprising:

• a training control console substantially identical to the control console of the CNC machining device;
• a digital twin of the CNC machining device, comprising a simulator and an interface module connecting the training control console to the simulator, the interface module being configured to transmit to the simulator commands generated by a trainee using the training control console, the simulator being configured to simulate an effect of the transmitted commands on the CNC machine;
• and
• a display device configured for a trainee to view a current status of the simulator.

A method for training operators on a CNC machining device comprising a control console and a CNC machine having at least one frame, at least one manipulator with at least one axis, and at least one machining tool capable of being manipulated by the at least one manipulator, the CNC machine being controlled by the control console, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing a training control console substantially identical to the control console of the CNC machining device;
• providing a digital twin of the CNC machining device comprising a simulator of the CNC machining device;
• acquiring commands generated by a trainee using the training control console;
• simulating an effect of the generated commands on the CNC machine using the simulator;
• and
• displaying a current status of the simulator on a display device during the simulation.
