Optimation Leads in Nesting Solution for Fabricators Using Routers

30 years Optimation(r) has been the world leader in PartNesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing productadvancement leadership to industry, the company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVEmake previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation(tm),allows the system to "see" the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features onthe part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in anarea of the nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well asexcessive rotation. "Powerful automated nesting and NC Programming software packages are required tomeet the specific requirements of fabricators using routers (stack, plate, wood andcomposite)," according to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation.OptiRout is a solution for fabricators using routers which automatically matchesgeometry to drill sizes within a user-defined tolerances as well as provides aneasy-to-use method of "point-and-shoot" identification of auxiliary routertoolpaths. The software solution Interfaces with most current scanner technologywhile automatically detecting geometry requiring an auxiliary router bit. Workingwith Part Designs CAD drawings along with pertinent pre-programmed inputs and manufacturing attributes are imported intoOptimation software. OptiRout is compatible with a wider range of CAD formats than any other nesting software. Lundy emphasized that, "The Storehouse of Knowledge is a critical element to theOptimation solution. Material, machine and tool parameters are stored in theKnowledge Base, along with other key attributes about your operation. Similarly,design and key values of the ready-to-nest part program are stored in the PartLibrary where they are available for immediate use. Considered together, thesevariables can be used to create the most "intelligent" nesting pattern possible,namely the one best suited to the needs of your situation."OptiRout also automatically provides rivet or large screw placement in skeleton, aswell as the option of processing single sheet or stack of sheets. It allows use of alternative materials when nesting for increased materialutilization and provides "Point and Shoot" tab placement after a nest is created. Some of the special features that fabricators have requested, available in theOptiRout solution, include the ability to: ...Automatically calculate maximum sheet stack height per nest for stack type routers. ...Automatically place hold-downs such a screws or rivets in skeleton according to user-defined tab shapes. ...Automatically sort cycles such as drilling for hold-downs, applying hold-downs, routing, and drilling through hold-downs. ...Provide parameters for identifying zones on the nest for cycle sorting in order to limit excess rapid travel. ...Permit multiple-pass routing on designated entities. ...Automatically sort toolpaths for processing nests that require the sheet to beflipped for pocketing on both sides of the material.

As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technologyguarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine,providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and materialinventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the mostadvanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capitalresources.Optimationwww .optimation.comMichael D Lundy P.E.Opti1@optinest.com877-827- 2100
