Vintech RCAM-Pipe

Constructing

• Vintech RCAM-Pipe allows parametric defining and constructing of pipe fittings, with no need of external CAD system,

• constructs parts with collection of functions for building pipe fittings of two, three and more pipes, for face-cut pipes and pipe elbows,

• defines the type of jointing of pipe fitting – by piercing or by clinging,

• for each pipe fitting automatically creates geometry of pipe parts,

• visualizes each pipe fitting as well as the parts in it with the help of 2D drafts and general 3D view depending on the given parameters.

Pipe nesting

• Vintech RCAM-Pipe can use in a single project many pipe blanks with different length, but the same diameter and wall thickness,

• for each pipe blank enables defining the maximum allowed quantity in the project – limit and number of identical nesting layouts – multiplicity,

• manages the project by job, in which parts of relevant quantity are added,

  • nests parts interactively on a pipe blank with functions as:

    • „rotation“ of a part around its axis,

    • axis shifting and rearranging.

Processing technology design

• Vintech RCAM-Pipe builds cutting paths on a pipe part considering the cutting diameter,

• manages interactively path elements as: start/end points, gap and pseudo-bridge, bridge and chain-cut for continuous cutting,

• creates interactively processing order (route) between single paths in nesting,

• allows cutting defined by a program of gaps and bridges after the main processing.

NC programming and documentation creating

• Vintech RCAM-Pipe generates NC program for each nesting layout,

• uses open source post-processors to adapt to specific CNC system,

• allows export of flat patterns' geometry in DXF format of a single pipe fitting as well as nesting layout,

• generates specification and a nesting layout in HTML and PDF formats.
