in sequence.
¡¡ Text Properties:
Arbitrary scaling text size, text attributes remnant unchanged;
text can be converted into graphics. |
|
5.Nesting
¡¡ It includes auto and interactive
Nesting. After nesting, a most economical line and an excess
material graphic (for future reference when reusing the excess
material) can be generated automatically. They both have interference
alarm to prevent accidental cutting.
¡¡ Auto Nesting
¡¡ 1) Parameters setting such
as kerf width, cutting margin compensation and Iteration count;
¡¡ 2) Nesting method setting:
starting point ((left bottom, right bottom, left up, right
up), direction: X direction and Y direction;
¡¡ 3) Precise calculation, such
as inside hole nesting, to improve the efficiency of working
and utilization rate of material.
¡¡ Interactive Nesting
¡¡ After setting the parameters
of kerf width, cutting margin compensation and iteration count;
You can automatic nest the parts, and then you can reselect
this parts, and manually nest objects, this function support
drag, drop and bump features.
|

6.Plate
& Remnant Management
¡¡ The Plate/Remnant Inventory
Database stores a list of all the plates and remnant one has
stored at his facility.
Once this list is created, it can be accessed within ucannest
so that a user can easily see what he has available to him
to nest on.
¡¡ Remnant boundary
¡¡ The remnant boundary can be
created and shown during auto nesting and interactive Nesting,
and the range of it will be changed when you move the part.
The remnant boundary slices the parts from the plate, so that
tedious manual cutting is replaced.
¡¡ Save Remnant Figure
¡¡ After editing serial number,
material, thickness, quantity, length, width, area. you can
add remnant figure into the plate/remnant database so that
the remnant figure can be found easily when you want to use
it.
¡¡ Open Remnant Database
¡¡ when Open the plate/remnant
database, in the list of plate/remnant, locate and click the
plate you want, and then you previw the figure of the plate/remnant.
¡¡ and you can search, sort or
list the plate/remnant with key word as area, thickness, length,
width so that the suitable remant can be found easily. |

7.Node ¡¡
This is one of the particular function in UcanNest V9.It
provides the solution for cutting bevels and solution for cut
in/out. With node editing function, chamfer and fillet can be
generated accurately and extracted contour can be edited quickly.
¡¡ Solution for Cutting
bevels
¡¡ Solution for Cut in/out ¡¡
The parameters of the length of cut in/out line and rounded
angle radius can be set accurately. Multi-node can be edited
once.
¡¡ Node Editing
¡¡ With node editing
function, you can edit extracted contour of figure accurately
and arbitrarily. You also can change the shape of cut in/out
line and select any node as the starting point for machining.
|
|
|
8.Bridges ¡¡
Bridge is to minimize the wear and tear on consumable
items in cutting process. The number of pierce holes can be
reduced by using bridge or break-out bridge. The minimum bridge
width should be larger than kerf value. The length of Cut in/out
line should be set respectively. |
|
|
9.Break-out
¡¡ Setting position and width
of Break-out Bridge arbitrarily; Reducing the piercing of
the holes in oxy flame cutting and consumed electricity in
plasma cutting for effective improvement of productivity and
expenses on consumable parts.
|
|
|
10.Cut in/out
¡¡ UcanNest V9 provide many types
of cut in/out. Cut-in position and cut-out position can be selected
arbitrarily
¡¡ Types of Cut in/out ¡¡
It can be straight line, Arc or others. Parameters as
the length of line, angle of line (0¡ª90) and radius of arc can
be set accurately.
|
|
|
11.Snap Function
¡¡ Snap function is very helpful
when we draw figures. It improves the efficiency of drawing.
This function also can be used for accurately finding Cut in/out
position. The type of position will be shown when cursor moves
on it. |
|
|
12.Continuous Cutting
¡¡ Entering the shortest distance
value between cut-out of last part and cut-in of the next part
to facilitate the possibility of continuous cutting, can reduce
the number of pierce holes in oxy flame cutting and save nozzle
for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable
parts. |
|
|
13.Intelligent Function
¡¡ When generating a path for a
figure with both internal outline and external outline, UcanNest
V9 will calculate path for internal outline and external outline
respectively and add cut inline for them. Internal outline is
in inner so that you need not define internal outline and external
outline in person. |
|
|
14.Path
¡¡ This function includes manual
path and auto path and path output. When doing manual setting
for cutting path, it is necessary to pay attention to cut
sequence, direction of travels and angle of Cut in/out for
both the internal and external contours. The advantage of
the manual path is that you can add cut in/out line arbitrarily
and you can manually control the direction and cutting sequence.
You can also select relevant cutting paths for different parts.
Automatic output is a high efficient method for path editing,
and the interface of it is easy to understand.
¡¡ Manual path
¡¡ The parameters of it include
Offset compensation (left, right, none) and Processing speed.
When doing manual setting for cutting path, you can cancel
the action and re-select direction of travel and you also
can change the direction of travel by changing the direction
of arrow and broken line, So that under the instruction of
manual path, it is easier to generate the path for common
cutting.
¡¡ Auto path
¡¡ Auto Path can generate the
cutting path automatically. It can be classified into On,
Outside and Inside according to relationships between the
torch center axis and the contour.
|
|
|
15.path Edit
¡¡ We can edit generated path. Such
as Path Sequence, Path Panel, Group Path, Ungroup Path and path
stat.
¡¡ Path Sequence ¡¡
Tool path sequence can be adjusted so as to improve machining
process and machining quality. The sequence number of path is
shown at the beginning of start point for processing so that
the sequence number is easy to change.
¡¡ Path Panel
¡¡ Path panel is used to divide
a path into several smaller portions so that you can machine
materials accurately even when the work area of your machine
is not big enough. After machining, you can combine the portions
together to form a complete one. In this way, not only machining
time is reduced, but efficiency is improved.
¡¡ Group Path and Ungroup
Path ¡¡ You
can group several paths as one unit for machining. You also
can output several paths respectively.
¡¡ Path Stat.
¡¡ With Path Stat., the UcanNest
V9 can show all the length of path, rapid move distance, piercing
hole count, cutting time£¬so that we can evaluate the efficiency
of path.
|
|
|
16.Path Walk Simulation
¡¡ Machining path can be previewed
though path walk simulation, which can avoid machining errors
and reducing fault. Simulation speed can be changed. |
|
|
17.path Output
¡¡ Machine processing (cutting,
pre-pierce, marker) cutting speed, fast speed; original point
based on a special point or precise positioning output.
¡¡ Cutting¡ªcommon machine processing
¡¡ Pre-pierce---we can utilize
the used nozzles to finish the holes first and then continue
cutting with the good nozzle, so that nozzle can be saved.
Marker---draw the outline of figure. It is an inspection before
processing.

18.Post Set
¡¡ Software generates G code and
M direction. You can add different types of device as you
required. Set parameters for Opening fire and Closing fire.
¡¡ Files' types can be *.nc ¡¢*.txt
or others.
¡¡ You can check or un-check generated
speed command.
