Fully automatic fly cutting for lasers added to nesting software

Jetcam has developed Jet-Cut fully automatic fly cutting for lasers as part of the v20 release of its Expert nesting and automation software. It includes new path optimization algorithms and several new anticrash options. It also includes automatic generation of rounded tangential positioning movements so that the axis is not forced to decelerate to a stop when changing direction.

The new feature allows complex grids of holes to be laser cut quickly, without the user having to specify which areas should have the logic applied. Through its artificial intelligence algorithms, the software applies the logic on any suitable geometry, allowing users to import a CAD file, apply profiling information, and nest components automatically in seconds.

In full remote-control processing mode, the system can be set to listen for instructions from external systems, such as MRP, process them, and report back once done, automating the CNC programming process.
