+Label
Ideal for nested-based manufacturing as well as traditional manual and NC panel saws, the +Label addition enables saw and CNC operators to clearly visualise the panel as labels are printed on-demand and placed on parts. You can easily select parts by simply touching the screen and print easy-to-read graphic labels for each part. In addition, the screen is updated automatically to show exactly which parts and panels have been completed.
Full label design capabilities gives complete control over the data printed on the label. +Label works in conjunction with xMachining to add bar-codes to each part that requires secondary machining (for example, with a point-to-point or CNC drill and dowel machine), enabling an easy flow from one process to the next.Many newer generation CNC routers and NC saws include their own on-board real-time labeling solutions. Therefore the +Label addition also allows you to design part labels inside xMachining, using all available information, including an image of the part. These labels are then converted to image files which can be printed in real-time using the CNC router's and/or the saw's built-in labeling system.
+Router
The +Router addition makes it easy to nest full sheets of parts including operations such as line boring, dados and drawer guide holes, creating nests for an entire job in seconds.
CABINET VISION’s nesting solutions offer superior small part handling. CABINET VISION’s “onion skin and return onion skin” technology for small part handling provides maximum vacuum hold-down while maintaining superior edge finish, as well as machine times up to 50% faster than other comparative nesting solutions.
In addition to block nesting, +Router comes with a geometric nesting solution that optimizes the production of rectangular and irregular shaped parts. Parts are rotated into position and shapes are interlocked to maximize material yield. You can even nest parts inside of other parts for maximum yield.
+saw
The +Saw addition allows you to maximize material yield and reduce waste. Fully integrated with CABINET VISION it makes it simple to quickly convert cut lists into patterns for import directly to an NC Panel saw or into printed patterns for use by a manual sawyer. With builtin Offcut Management the system will instruct the sawyer which offcuts to deploy from job to job, maximizing material utilization. The Panel Optimizer also includes built-in links to nearly all NC saws on the market.
+SIMULATION
+Simulation enables you to preview machine operations graphically on screen to ensure that parts will be machined properly. By simulating prior to machining, it can reduce errors and scrapped parts, saving time, materials, and money.
+3RD PARTY CAD IMPORT
The +3rd Party CAD Import addition makes it possible to import cut lists from third party CAD software and layered DXF files to define CNC machining.
+3RD PARTY CAM
Interoperability is further strengthened with the +3rd Party CAM addition. This provides the ability to export DXF and other popular formats common to CAM applications for further processing by a third-party CAM solution.
+MATERIAL HANDLING
The +Material Handling addition provides
the capability to export to and synchronise materials with material handling systems.
+POINT TO POINT
The +Point to Point addition includes either DXF Output to 3rd party CAM applications or the ability to communicate directly with a CNC Machine using Screen to Machine™, technology from Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division.
+CHOP SAW
With the +Chop Saw addition it is simple to export data to automated fence systems for chop saws.
+DRILL & DOWEL
The +Drill & Dowel addition gives you the capability to export information to drill and dowel machines.
+Part List Export
The +Part List Export addition makes it possible to export a PNL, CUT, or Custom CUT file to a preferred optimizer. When using the +Router, +3rd Party CAM, or +Point to Point additions these files will include the programme name for part machining that needs to be performed after cutting.
