SI[TUBE]-1

Programming system for cutting of rectangular, square and round pipes SI[TUBE] is a programming system suited to control metal cutting machinery to fabricate pipes and profiles. This solution is suited for any machine with a rotary axis, as well as for 4- axis and 6-axis cutting machines. It encompasses all steps from machine programming through pipe & tube modeling, choice of materials, nesting handling, until creation of cutting path and generation of NC code. SI[TUBE] features: New portal with easy access to all main functions Integrated CAD system for designing or importing of external files Handling of collisions between machine tool head and sheet metal part Head position check (head out of working area) Handling of load/undload systems Automatic lead-in calculation and definition of cutting path Dynamic handling of head speed on edges

Freedom to design ideas Thanks to SI[TUBE] functionalities, the geometry of the part can be easily imported on the basis of widely known standards such as IGES and DXF™ formats, used respectively for three-dimensional and two-dimensional design. The same software environment can easily and directly interface most of CAD systems used in the designing and machining branch. The same software offers direct interfaces from most commonly used CAD environments of the industry. The complete integration with the incorporated CAD system allows fast import of parts and fast creation of the 3D pattern to...

Safe cutting process Highest accuracy in simulation Before generating codes for the machine numerical control, it is possible to display a dynamic simulation representing the part, the fixing system and the cutting head. This realistic simulation of the cutting program and an automatic control process with visual warnings allows the user to easily identify any possible inconveniences: the operator can consequently validate the job or proceed with editing. Safe cutting process SI[CUBE] automatically optimizes cutting paths. When handling square or rectangular edges of pipes and tubes, SI[TUBE]...
