DURATION:
3 Days
DESCRIPTION:
The course will
include how to use MetaCAM’s CAM for laser, plasma and water-jet
machines to get the most out of profile cutting machines and how MetaCAM uses
technology tables to optimize machine parameters after analyzing parts. The
comprehensive, easy-to-use setup screens and interactive inspectors that offer
fine control over tooling are additional topics that are included. The
students will use the
variety of strategies in the optimizer to reduce process times and cutting
costs. MetaCAM's unparalleled support for special machine capabilities
(special pierce cycles, switchback cutting, dual-headed machines and loader-unloader
systems) will also be discussed.
In this course, the students will learn how to use MetaCAM to automatically decide on the most optimal
division of processing between punch and laser. In addition, the students will learn to
use the capable tool inventory system, the graphical turret layout editor, and
the intelligent auto-tool engine with customizable tooling patterns.
Learning to use the auto-tooler to pick tools from the tool inventory and to
create an optimal turret load will also be included. The students will learn how MetaCAM can
automatically place wire joints based on preset rules and uses joint tools to
create clean-breaking tabs. In addition, the course will cover automatic repositioning and sequencing that are
integrated into a single-click command that prepares punch tooling for posting
to NC code.
An
additional topic that will be included is the nesting engine which has a palette of nesting algorithms to suit
different needs and directly generates MetaCAM layouts. The students will
learn to use the nesting engine to use irregular or remnant stock from previous
nests in addition to rectangular stock. The students will also learn to use special
nests for right-angled shears or for multiple-torch cutters and how MetaCAM uses
intelligent part rotation and filler part placement to help get the best stock
utilization.
