The automated solution to program your tubes and profiles cutting machines and robots The Almacam Tube CAD/CAM software is able to interact with any kind of tubes and profiles cutting system (3, 4 or 5 axis machines with one or more rotative axes, robotized cells for cutting tubes). It integrates all the steps in the programming process: CAD import or modeling of the tubes and profiles, management of manufacturing orders, automatic nesting of the tubes and profiles to cut, creation and automatic scheduling of trajectories, generation of ISO codes. The software functions automatically but lets the user manage specific situations in order to guarantee optimum execution of the programming. Almacam Tube benefits from Alma’s considerable expertise in programming 3D/Tubes machines and cutting robots, acquired thanks to the many installations it has carried out and its partnerships with several manufacturers. CAD import of single parts or assemblies, with retrieval of the quantities. Possibility to add connections (e.g. pins, hooks) between tubes and profiles of an assembly. Automatic unfolding and unbending of tubes and profiles. Automatic generation of the trajectories and the program for cutting tubes and profiles. Ability to interact with any type and any brand of tubes and profiles-cutting system, without any limitation on the number of machine or robot axes. Management of specific functions or requirements related to tubes and profiles cutting machines. Management of machines combining laser cutting with mechanical units.

Main features TUBE • 3D modeling of tubes and profiles of any kind of section. • Library of predefined sections of tubes and profiles (international standards). • Libraries of predefined shapes for the sections, holes, end cuts and folds. • Possibility to define holes of any shape. • Possibility to add bevels at the modeling stage, while complying to the technological constraints and machine limits. • Possibility to set several types of machining to cutting contours (minimum and maximum material). Import of parts and assemblies • Import of 3D parts and assemblies in Parasolid®,STEP, IGES...
