Automated CAM program added to coil-fed laser blanking systems

LaserCoil Technologies LLC has announced the addition of LaserCoil CAM to its coil-fed laser blanking systems, automating the importing of part profiles for optimized nesting and laser cutting.
The program accommodates single and multiple cutting heads, as well as peripheral automation, such as the system’s dynamic conveyor lanes. In addition to optimizing the part recipes, the program also controls and monitors the laser blanking system during production.
According to the company, the program takes minutes from the importing of CAD files to active cutting of a simple blank. It creates a recipe with prebuilt initial cutting parameters that are supplemented with the blank’s profile data imported via a CAD file. The user can either ask the software to select the best coil from multiple coils in inventory, create the best nest for a specific coil width, or permit the program to specify the optimum coil width based on part yield.
Taking into consideration the appropriate grain constraint for material flow as well as part profile, the software identifies the best nesting pattern and determines how the profiles will be cut by the laser. The operator then generates the cutting path and makes adjustments by clicking on the profile parameters and setting a new cutting routine. A simulation is run to show the sequenced travel path of the laser cutting head.
