Key Features
- Automatic nesting with rectangular, true-shape, array and priority strategies
- Automatic common-line cutting reducing pierce count and nozzle wear
- Automatic kerf compensation by material and plate thickness
- Automatic lead-in and lead-out optimisation reducing arc-start defects
- Remnant stock management that uses offcuts first
- Post-processors matched to mainstream cutting controllers
- Cutting-cost estimation for fast quotation
Typical Applications
- Nesting for plasma, flame and laser cutting
- Plate processing centres and structural steel cutting
- Batch part scheduling and remnant management
- Quoting where cost per part must be known
Selection & Setup Notes
The value of nesting software is directly calculable: at 500 t of plate a year and RMB 4 500/t, moving yield from 65% to 85% saves about RMB 450 000 of material annually. Installers and activation notes are in the Download Centre; matching controllers are in CNC controllers.
Standards & Further Reading
External reference: ISO 9013 — Thermal cutting classification — ISO 9013 defines the quality classes for thermal cut surfaces (perpendicularity, bevel, dross).
