Jetcam releases new versions of nesting, automation software

Jetcam has launched new versions of its core nesting software for CNC punch and profiling technologies—Jetcam Expert—and Jetcam Orders Controller (JOC) automation software.

In the nesting software, Jet-Cut applies fly cutting during the tooling process, automatically identifying areas that can benefit, and Jet-Optimizer creates the optimal cutting path while avoiding previously cut areas. A new component simulator allows for users to simulate the cutting of a single part, rather than having to create a nest with one component. The software also has a new report designer that allows users to create complex custom reports quickly.

In JOC, a new tool graph displays the number of tool hits per nest, which can be useful when calculating the remaining life of a tool. Users now can filter components based on whether they are tooled for a specific machine and filter assemblies that include one or more component names.
