essential combi : essential combi CNC programming for all your punch, profile and combination machines Essential Combi is a machine-independent product developed by Radan to drive punch, profile and machines which incorporate both technologies. It provides your operators with the tools they require to reduce lead times and optimise your machinery efficiently and safely. program all your current and future punch, profile and combination machine tool investments from one system. The seamless integration delivered by Essential Combi provides an easy to use experience for your operators, whilst accuracy and consistency of programming is maintained with the collation of process-critical data in the Manufacturing Database (MDB). Material, lead-ins, lead-outs, tagging, and machine tool specific cutting technology data are stored in the MDB in readiness for instantaneous distribution when required to assist an operator or automated process. Understanding the sophistication and the limits of each machine tool individually is the key to driving it efficiently. Essential Combi will assist your operators to optimise your manufacturing capacity to within those limits for all of your machines. Understanding the sophistication and the limits of each machine tool individually is the key to driving it Features include Drag and drop data input Batch processing of DXF/DWG, including healing Automatic tooling/sequencing Automatic part removal Graphical program verification Single part, true shaped nesting Project nesting incorporating user definable reports This formidable combination will expand with you to Seamless programming Essential Combi seamlessly integrates the whole programming process of tooling, nesting, sequencing, code generation and finally DNC connectivity to the machine tool controller. efficiently. Essential Combi will assist your operators to optimise your manufacturing capacity to within those limits for all of your machines from a single system. Efficiency is everything Essential Combi is a fast, modern programming application designed and written by Radan to assist a programmer in transferring data from CAD to NC code. The seamless interface and the automatic processes all assist the operator in this process. A machine tool is only as efficient as the software driving it, so that is why we personally install every Essential Combi post processor to ensure that it is commissioned to match your machine tool and controller. It is your production efficiency that it is going to be controlling; that’s why your software is important to us. Automatic common line cutting Automatic remnants, sheet scrapping and off-cuts Simple, intuitive interface with clear simple icons Supporting machines’ advanced features Improved machine/tooling efficiency Reduced lead times and increased production
