Optimation Reduces Costly Downtime Through Collision Avoidance Software Solution

Optimation software directs tool path from innermost cuts toward the skeleton. This allows maximum utilization of material because smaller parts can be nested in ­ and cut from ­ internal "holes."

 

 

Collision avoidance reduces cycle time and avoids costly downtime.  This lean manufacturing principle is vital to successful nesting and a manufacturing process.  Collision avoidance is a process of sequencing the tool path to minimize the number of times the laser head must be raised to pass over previously cut paths and parts.

 

“This offers two primary benefits. First, by eliminating the slow, Z-axis motion, the laser head can be directed to rapid or reposition to the next tool path more quickly, decreasing processing time.  In addition, it prevents the laser head from running into the tipped up edge of a part which has already been cut. This avoids potential damage to the laser head or lost productivity due to shut downs should such a collision occur,” according to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation.

 

 

For 30 years Optimation® has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous nesting methods obsolete.   The new technology, Vision Emulation™, 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 on the part.  This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the nest.  Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive rotation.

Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against any other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency alone.  As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital resources.
