Vintech RCAM-Pro v5

Automates the building of common cuts

Functions, widely applied in the laser and oxy-fuel cutting.

• Vintech RCAM-Pro automatically or interactively nests a multitude of parts with common cuts.

• Automatically or interactively creates paths and route for selected multitude of parts nested with common cuts in a frame or a block.

• Creates a block for common cutting from two identical parts.

  • Allows interactive “rolling side-by-side” of the parts and mirror nesting of the second part.

  • Automatically creates paths and route for common cutting with options for selecting the place of start/end points and the direction of walking the paired parts.

Builds automatically bridges

When the parts must not fall from the plate after they are cut.

The function builds automatically “part-plate” bridges (gaps) on each part in the current frame.

• The function manages:

  - The minimum distance along the path between two bridges,

  - The number of bridges on a single part.

Creates NC programs with technological tables

Intended to generate NC programs with specific structure and to program heavy duty laser complexes.

• Vintech RCAM allows working with Technological tables catalog from the Technological Knowledge Base.

• Automatically applies the suitable Technological table in the NC program according to the grade and thickness of material and through the NC program in the CNC system,

Imports jobs for nesting

Provides import of jobs for projecting prepared by an ERP system. Provides fast job transfer between different users.

Imports packages from file in the project for each part of the job:

• Quantity and attributes: Name, Ref. N, Order, Product

• Geometry.

Has special functionality

For creating technology and NC programs in cases of:

• Pre-piercing of openings

For machines with capabilities for piercing or punching dimension perforations, combined with laser or plasma contour processing or for piercing a start-up openings for igniting the torch.

The function automatically determines the openings that will be punched and enables the user to choose the cutting torches.

• Processing by “working areas”.

When the parts and the plates are longer than the working frame, and the machine or the equipment with it are capable to, the processing can be performed by “working areas”.

For this type of processing are developed functions, such as:

- limiting the cutting paths to the size of the current frame,

- building the lead-ins and the lead-outs in the places of path break,

- creating route moves between the working areas,

- moving a frame one step leftwards/rightwards.

• Defining risky frames, determined by handles and bases on the plate.

• Control of sensors for tracking the altitude above the plate. With NC commands controls tracking over the machined part.

Builds bevels on the part model

Vintech RCAM-Pro provides built-in functionality for creating bevels and chamfers.

• Builds one or three-torch bevels and allowances on outer and inner contours or on segments of part's contours.

• For each bevel adds a safety frame to the part's geometry, in order to prevent the nearly nested parts from damages caused by the bevel cutting.

• Recalculates automatically the bevels' parameters in a mirror transformation of a part.

Creates paths for bevel cutting

Vintech RCAM-Pro builds paths for bevel cutting by automatically taking account of the cutting diameter and the bevel geometry.

• Vintech RCAM allows extending or trimming of bevel paths.

• Allows breaking the bevel paths on bridges or path gaps or other paths.

• Controls automatically the torch inclination in the lead-ins, lead-outs and gaps(bridge "part – plate").

• Automatically controls the torch inclinations for walking corners or in chain-cuts between consecutively nested paths. Adds automatically an arc movement in inner bevel corner, for preventing damages to the part that may be caused by the cutting.

• Allows building of pseudo-bridges – gaps on contours of neighbor parts which are created at the same time and are mutually oriented.

• Provides interactive managing of the processing sequence of vertical and bevel paths, as well as removing the vertical paths, that lie under bevel ones.
