Optimation Provides Nesting Software Solution for Fabricators Using Ultrasonic Knives

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 rarelyavailable to fabricators using ultrasonic knives, reciprocating knives, wheels andmiscellaneous cutters," according to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO ofOptimation.OptiComp (by Optimation) software automatically checks and cleans the CAD geometriesand translates them into an NC Part Program . . . or alerts you if errors arepresent. Parts are stored in the Master File of the Part Library to allow forquality control mechanisms such as First Article Inspection and engineering changes.Lundy noted that the solution for fabricators using ultrasonic knives also,"Automatically orders and tracks plies per part number on a per part or materialbasis as well as provides interactive cut direction control, automatic bladerotation and automatic feedrate selection. OptiComp also allows plies to berequested for nesting simply by ordering master part default ply quantity andmaterial definition are stored in the Master Parts Library. Users can manually keyorders directly, or it can be interfaced to any scheduling system that outputs anASCII file, eliminating the need to manually re-enter. Orders are automaticallychecked to ensure that the part can be produced and "flagged," if needed (for FirstArticle Inspection, for example, or if engineering changes are detected). All cleanorders are placed in the Active Order File while those not passing inspection aresent to the Suspended Orders File."There are special features that OptiComp provides fabricators including: Providing single or multiple ply cutting. Automatically determines length and width of material required per nest. Allows use of alternative materials when nesting for increased material utilization. Controls vacuum table selection. Communicating with the Operator and Machine Tool is now possible since the nest codeis sent to the machine tool for fabrication in machine specific numeric code. Inaddition, the software automatically generates a nest summary report and plot togive the operator a comprehensive overview of each nest. Machine tools OptiComp(tm) runs by vendor: American GFM Lectra Design Technologie Gerber / Cutting Edge Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against any other method of partnesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiencyalone. 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
