CADCAM sheetmetal software has laser improvements
Latest version of sheet metal fabrication CADCAM software includes substantial improvements for laser users, such as skeletal destruction, heat avoidance and common-line cutting.
Flexible CAM add-on reduced part programming time
Limited by the scope of existing CAM functionality in a CNC punch press controller, a stair components maker searched around for a more flexible CAM, which reduced part programming time.
JETTerm DNC allows the transfer of NC output files to CNC machine tools through either serial IO connection, or file transfer if a PC is at the control.
The Remote Download facility allows the user at the machine tool to send serial download requests for NC files directly from the control.
JETTerm can also handle multiple serial NC downloads simultaneously and displays real-time download status on screen for each machine serial connection.
The new user interface in version 8 provides users with several view types: * NC source view, with editing option and keyword highlighting tool.
* Nest drawing view, with option to zoom or highlight specific components.
* Comprehensive range of standard and customisable reports.
* Component Identification - JETTerm 8 aids identification of cut parts on a nest, which in turn facilitates the removal and stacking of like parts, kits of parts, etc Selecting the part number from the displayed list of parts on the nest will highlight the parts in a different colour on the nest view.
Alternatively, users can select a part on the nest view and the part number will be highlighted on the part list.
* Reports - JETTerm now utilises the same reporting engine found in JETCAM Orders Controller, thus making custom report interchangeable between both applications.
It is compatible with existing JETCAM Expert FMS (nest) report files, allowing users to immediately produce reports for all of their existing nests.
A custom report designer program is also available, allowing users to design their own reports, with no limit on the number of report designs that can be created.
