NUMroto X

NUMroto X breaks new ground in the definition and organization of probing cycles. These can now be recorded in sequences, analogous to grinding operations. In this way, the various probing processes can be clearly displayed and set up by the user. Any number of sequences can be created for the same tool, containing grinding operations, probing and dressing cycles, or both. With the ability to execute other sequences from within sequences, they can be combined in any way, allowing complex manufacturing sequences to be configured while remaining clearly displayed.

ProNest LT 2023 version 15.1 Nesting Software Subscriptions

Nesting Software Subscriptions Designed for Waterjet Cutting Market

ProNest LT subscriptions for waterjet will support virtually any make or model of a waterjet machine, allowing users to easily insert the nesting component into their existing workflow. There are two waterjet subscription tiers to choose from.

Flex3d Tubes

Developed with the latest laser cutting technology in mind, Flex3d Tubes takes into account the array of cutting options available. Users can program complete or partial chamfers on either end of a tube as well as create any type of contour including round, rectangular and triangular among others. Visuals, including full simulation capabilities, give a clear view of the cutting operation, identifying intersections and operations and allowing 2D geometry to be projected or surface-mapped onto the tube surface.

IMTS 2022 Booth Visit with CGTech

PlateSaver

PlateSaver is available through Hypertherm’s ProNest and other authorized software for fabricators cutting mild steel on a CNC table using X-Definition plasma. It combines the arc stability of X-Definition plasma with specialized software parameters to dramatically increase material utilization. Those parameters cause PlateSaver to use shorter leads when starting and finishing a cut for less wasted space between parts. In addition to shorter lead-ins and lead-outs, PlateSaver takes molten metal into account by using moving pierces that cause molten splatter to fall within a predictable “splash zone.”

Flex3D Software

The company has designed new applications for Lantek Flex3D which provide easy solutions when designing and machining complete or partial bevels anywhere in the tube. Further, the latest generation software makes it possible to include perforations of various types (round, rectangular, triangular, etc.), and resolve the multiple possibilities that require a comprehensive library of connections and intersections to later assemble complete sets.

WORKNC 2020.1 Software

The latest release of WORKNC, from Hexagon’s Production Software portfolio, is said to make smart factories even smarter with new and enhanced functionality that addresses a number of manufacturing issues.

C-THRU4.0 Data Management Software

Marposs has announced the availability of its new data management software — C-THRU4.0, designed to collect and process data from multiple machine tools equipped with Artis machine monitoring systems via a central hub. This information can be accessed remotely, via an iPad, computer or laptop as well as offering the ability to integrate with MES and higher level ERP systems. The data collected can be used to analyze tool life, machine capability and cost comparisons, as well as alarm tracing and counts, profit and loss accounting, profitability analysis and more, all leading to enhanced productivity and profitability.
