MetaCAM Punch/Laser

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.
