9 Raise your workflow to a new level OptiScout is a software package for every kind of Cut Finishing With our modular, manufacturer-independent applications, you can increase the productivity of your processes in the long term. Especially in heterogeneous production environments OptiScout is the first choice. Thanks to our solutions, perfect integration into your existing workflow is possible. Digital Finishing Solutions Professional Post Processors - Device drivers for many machines, tools and methods Tech Textiles Software Supplier for the Finishing Industry

www.optiscout.com Pre Cut - Priming Planning, Data Import, Profile Assignment, Optimization Cut Finishing Workflow OptiScout accompanies the user step by step through the finishing workflow - be it printed or unprinted materials. Data can be imported via defined interfaces from RIPs, CAD or graphic applications. OptiScout is a cross-platform solution for all cutting, milling or laser applications. Compatibility is a key factor in integrating finishing solutions in mixed production environments. RIP Compatibility* Supporting RIPs: Agfa Asanti, Aurelon PrintFactory, Cadlink, Caldera,...

www.optiscout.com Import of the Cutting Data Individually configurable import filters ensure optimum preparation of the cut contours during import. For example: open contours can be closed or optimized or duplicates removed. Individual macros can be executed automatically before and after the import in order to optimally feed the data into the subsequent cutting process. Key Features Cutting Simulation / (Pre)Sorting The travel path of the tool can be simulated before output. The aim is to determine the travel path as optimally as possible. Optimizations can be made at any time and...

www.optiscout.com Overcut / Overcut with Compensation Overcut (Rotary Knife) The cut can be made with positive or negative values. For rotary knives, the overcut respectively undercut in the corners is deliberately performed. Overcut Compensation (Tangential Knife Oscillating) The goal of the overcut compensation is to optimize the cutting quality. The following procedures will produce the best cut for your material. without compensation with compensation Overcut (Rotary Knife) Overcut compensation (Tangential Knife Oscillating) Cut Extension Thick, soft materials like to bulge up in front...

www.optiscout.com Nesting Modules (Basic & Pro) Object entanglement reduces material costs through the use of powerful nesting algorithms. Border distance, part distance, pre-rotation and rotation angle are just some of the adjustable parameters. Nesting (Basic) - the integrated basic module Nesting (Pro) - the optional high-end module Before optimization After Nesting Milling and Production Tools (Selection): Quick layer direct access, Smartfeed - intelligent material feed, segmentation helper for oversizes, overcut compensation, cutter radius correction with cleaning run, laser cutting...

www.optiscout.com Registration via Camera The use of a CCD camera increases the precision of the output. This compensates printing inaccuracies and reduces waste. Flexible registration reliably processes even difficult materials. Register Marks Variety Embroidered video mark Before processing, the printed register marks are located by means of the camera mounted on the tool head. The correction algorithm compares the current marker position with the ideal position and uses the determined deviation for the compensation of the output contours. Hole mark in fabric Compensation Methods (1 Best...

www.optiscout.com Workflow - Production at the machine Productivity Tools (Selection): Job recognition via QR / bar code, registration using video marks, method assignment, tool parameterization, notification, message on interruption or job end Cut Finishing Cut finishing often uses machines from different manufacturers. With OptiScout several machines can be used in parallel. The individual technology data are read from the Material Database. The database ensures that all material-specific properties are provided. This information is available at all levels of the industrial workflow -...

www.optiscout.com Completion Throughput maximization through the use of highly optimized post-processors Material Database The material database is at the center of production process automation. The contents of the material database can already be accessed at the job preparation stage: material and method are already known in the pre-production phase and can be taken into account in the design - errors are thus avoided at an early stage. The goal is the inventory of all materials, methods and machine and tool parameters. Ideally, in the material database the experiences from the practice...

www.optiscout.com Reporting and Evaluation For the evaluation of the production data our Production Information System (PIS) is responsible. In connection with the Material Database the following technical operating data is provided in a database: runtimes, interruptions, jobs, devices, worker, material, material thickness, cutting path length, empty runs, cutting time and material consumption. A connection to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) is possible. Software Supplier for the Finishing Industry

Material Database (Server) The material database is at the heart of the OptiScout software suite when it comes to fully automating all cut processes. A central database server (physical or virtual) is available to all OptiScout applications in the local corporate network around the clock. The client-server structure ensures high process security. The standardization of profiles, processes and formats achieves a significant increase in productivity. The data import is independent of the machine that ultimately executes the output. Autoimport Plug-ins for AutoCAD, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, a....

OptiScout Smart Production Post Processor Integrated Modules: Software Suite for the realization of customized serial productions Material Database Inventory of all machines, methods, materials and tools involved in the production process Interfaces to all standard RIPs provide the data in layout and production OptiScout - Front-End Post Processor Post processor with import plug-ins for CAD and illustration software (AutoCAD, Illustrator, CorelDRAW) The following basic production and workflow tools are included: Import filter AI, EPS, DXF, PDF, ..., overcut compensation for oscillating...
