Radan to be Showcased at AMMO Expo - The American Manufacturing Expo 2007
Radan 07 from Planit will be demonstrated at the American Manufacturing Expo (September 18 - 21, 2007) held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in booth 744.
Radan's CAD/CAM software for sheet metal applications incorporates a wealth of functionality to maximize material utilization and reduce cycle times.
Radan 07's enhanced "True Shape" nesting capabilities deliver greater material utilization than ever before with the ability to nest components around clamps, provide finer angular orientation of parts within the nest and accurately compensate for individual tool shapes. As a result, parts can be nested closer together without the risk of destroying the raw material skeleton or closely oriented parts being damaged through tool interference.
Radan 07 also incorporates improved methods for handling partly used sheets - to further reduce material wastage. Offcuts can be automatically recorded for later use by Radan's 'Remnant Nesting' tools and the nester will evaluate all stored remnants before selecting the best one to use.
A further feature of Radan 07 is its support of fly cutting on a wide variety of profiling machines. With no tooling lead-in or lead-out, this advanced technique enables laser cutting cycle times to be reduced dramatically on work pieces that include grids of holes or matrices of repeated profiles.
