CNC programming for all your punch machines Features include Drag and drop data input Radpunch is machine independent and designed to provide your operators with the tools they require to reduce lead times and optimise your punching machines. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Radprofile, the Radan punch/profile solution delivers optimisation for punch, profile and combination machine tools. This formidable combination will expand with you to program all your future punch, laser, plasma, router and combination machine tool investments from one system. Seamless programming Radpunch seamlessly integrates the whole programming process of geometry creation, tooling, nesting, sequencing, code generation and finally DNC connectivity to the machine controller. The seamless integration delivered by Radpunch 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, tooling and machine tool specific 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. Radpunch will assist your operators to optimise your manufacturing capacity to within those limits for all of your machines from a single system. Tooling optimisation Optimising the tooling used by a punch machine is paramount to the efficient programming of a punch machine and thus the reduction of the cost to manufacture a part. Simply optimising conventional tools on a part and their location in the turret or tool rail is no longer sufficient, as tooling suppliers are providing more sophisticated tooling such as close to clamp slitters, wheel tooling, de-burring tools, scribes and flexible part marking tools. Radpunch understands the constraints of tools and the necessary NC codes required to support them. Radpunch orientation specific tooling permits multiple tooling setups to be applied to a part for different nesting orientations and different machine tools. This enables the downstream nesting process to fully optimise material utilisation by part rotation, which may have otherwise been restricted due to tool rotation limitations. The same functionality also optimises preparation of parts for removal processes on more sophisticated machine tools. Whilst a part may be capable of dropping down a chute or being picked at one orientation, at another orientation it may not be suitable. Orientation specific tooling enables the appropriate part removal processes to be applied to complement the part orientation during nesting. To minimise programming lead time, identification and manipulation of tooling is paramount to an operator. Radpunch provides this capability with the user customisable interactive tool list. The easy to use interface enables an operator to quickly identify and interact with tooling at process critical stages.
