With built-in Offcut Management, the system will instruct the sawyer which offcuts to use from job to job, maximising the use of material.
Key Features
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.
CABINET VISION has been outputting to panel saws for nearly 30 years. As a result, +Saw can generate output for nearly every NC saw on the market and we use our expertise to develop links for new saws as they are commercialised.
xMachining is the most flexible, powerful and automated CNC software in the woodworking market. Operating with a full range of machines, including CNC routers, drill and dowel, chop saws, panel saws, haunching machines and edgebanders. xMachining has the capability to intelligently programme machinery by analysing part geometry and automatically creating toolpaths, choosing the right tool, and selecting the speed and feed rates. And if you use multiple types of CNC machinery you can rely on xMachining to automate workflows and send the right part, to the right machine, at the right time.
