Automation is an important solution to improve efficiency and quality. In China, competition between local manufacturers and international manufacturers is fierce, and companies are increasingly eager to achieve mechanization to maximize inventory turnover.
Increase productivity through automation
In 2012, Wuxi Yuhao Dyeing and Finishing Machinery Factory (“Wuxi Yuxiâ€) introduced a computer numerical control (CNC controller) cutting machine tool and equipped with a nesting software to improve the production efficiency of the company. The company had hoped that the nesting software would improve the rational alignment of parts on the metal plate to maximize raw material utilization while minimizing waste. However, in less than two months, the operators fed back that the program did not adequately meet their needs. Company engineer Gu Leyi said that in the process of using this program, colleagues encountered many difficulties. “The first nesting software we bought is not very convenient to use. It is a lot of trouble to familiarize yourself with the interface. At the same time, there are many restrictions on our work, which makes us realize that this software is for our business. It is not very suitable."
Procuring a more suitable solution
In order to find the most suitable nesting solution to meet the company's production needs, Wuxi Yuxi decided to purchase Hypertherm's full-featured intermediate nesting software according to the recommendations of Wuxi Bridge Welding and Cutting Equipment Co., Ltd. (the provider of machine cutting systems). TurboNest ® . Gu Leyi's evaluation of this software is: "The interface of Hypertherm CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) solution is similar to the familiar Windows mainstream software, very intuitive and easy to use, so we spend much less time familiar with TurboNest ® In addition, Hypertherm technicians provided us with relevant training to help us smoothly transition from old software to new software."
Immediate results
Wuxi-Sheng expectations of key performance automatic nesting program brings is to maximize utilization of raw materials, and the end user after the introduction of TurboNest ® almost immediately to achieve this. The parts to be cut are arranged reasonably to minimize waste and require little manual intervention. Gu Leyi emphasized that the common edge cutting module can automatically or interactively arrange a set of contours along a straight edge so that they can be cut along the common edge. Common edge cutting reduces the number of perforations and the cutting of the outer contour, which naturally reduces the cutting time.
In addition to the common edge cutting, Wuxi's operators also like two other efficiency enhancements: bridge cutting and link cutting. These two features allow you to develop a continuous cutting path for cutting multiple parts. These features minimize the number of piercings while maximizing the life of consumables.
Gule Yi commented, "TurboNest ® can skillfully arranged the parts to be cut, thereby reducing material waste, reduce cutting time. This allows Haibao solutions to achieve results significantly higher than the first software we use to achieve results."
Wuxi Yuxi also found that through the new software purchased this time, the nesting work is much simpler than before. Although the previous program also has productivity modules, end users cannot easily master these functions. In contrast, the use of TurboNest ® will have a much simpler nature. In addition, now, if necessary, operators can also effortlessly edit the cutting path to meet their needs, which was almost impossible to achieve in the past.
In addition to the friendly user interface, TurboNest ® makes it easy for operators to save and export .nif files. Users can import these files into TurboNest ®, so that, if required in subsequent orders cut similar tasks, can easily be edited. When using the previous software, Wuxi Yuxi had to redraw similar graphics because the process of saving the project was too complicated.
Positive experience
After adopting a more intuitive program, Wuxi's operators can now perform nesting like a highly efficient machine.
Gule Yi concluded, "I ® very satisfied TurboNest, the effectiveness we have received also was very pleased. Now I can more adeptly using this program, I have decided to instant messaging group by Treasure provided this is in The other software manufacturers need to help in the process of solving problems. In the process of conversion and implementation, Hypertherm has always been very helpful, I believe that this good relationship will continue."
