MTC Software recommends ProNest for laser cutting applications

MTC Software offers many features that apply to the laser cutting process; some of these important features address the following areas of your cutting operation:

Enhanced Part Quality

• Profile size-based process parameter control improves edge quality
• Quality-based process parameter control for selective cut quality control
• Lead in/out style control based on profile size for optimum profile quality
• Corner loops to create sharp corners, as needed
• Automatic recognition of grain restraint to avoid forming fractures
• Automatic corner radiusing to help overcome machine motion problems and corner burn-out to give better quality, sharper corners
• Vaporization techniques to improve cut quality

Improved Material Utilization

• Pair, quad, array and multi-part common-line cutting
• Automatic nesting on remnant and skeleton plates
• Plate and nesting strategy selection optimization
• Clamp, reposition and trap door support

Increased Productivity

• Bridge, chain and common-line cutting reduce cycle time
• Automatic profile tabbing to minimize machine interruptions
• Optimized cut sequencing to reduce traverse times
• Collision Avoidance technology to minimize head crashes
• Support for cutting and etching processes to reduce material handling by allowing more work to be performed on a single machine
• Plate size verification and cutting head home control to help ensure the correct material is loaded on the machine before cutting and the cutting head is moved to the desired location to allow easy unloading after cutting
• Automatic skeleton cut-up to increase unload speed and help prevent operator injury
• Micro-tabs to reduce part handling
• Safety cuts to prevent part tip-up situations which interrupt production
• Optimized piercing techniques to minimize damage to the cutting head optics
• Subroutine support to give smaller CNC files that are easier to work with
• Plate handler support for automatic loading and unloading of material
