TRUE ENGINEERED PARTS WITH K, Y & DOUBLE V WELD PREPARATION

EASY, PRECISE PROGRAMMING All of the complexities are hidden from the

operator. To add a bevel of 1, 2, or 3 passes,

there is only the need to fill out the bevel form.

The programmer nests the annotated CAM files,

which look identical to the DXF but contain the

additional bevel information. Additional

problems like colliding bevels are fully accom-

modated with true shape nesting functions.

The technology is totally NC independent which

means that engineers can also be offered the

ability to apply the weld prep to their DXF parts

prior to production (using our FastCAM® 3D

Bevel Editor, available as a separate program).

CNC PRECISE WELD PREPARATION

Finally, an easy-to-use NC system for industrial profile cutting that includes

automated weld preparation! We use the term 3-pass to distinguish it from perhaps

30 years of angle cutting without regard to root gap or the land. Our solution covers

the entire geometry of the joint.

Plate Edge preparation can now be done simply and easily off-line. Even complex

components can be quickly created with all weld detail in place. The integrated

nesting system preserves this detail no matter how the part is moved on the plate.

It’s so simple; select the part and add the required weld detail to any section.

Program a single edge or a complete contour. Top, Bottom, angle, land, root gap, all

can be defined simply and quickly, once nested processing is completely automatic.

COMPLEX WELD CONSTRUCTION IN HALF THE TIME!

FROM DRAWING TO MACHINE!

Bevel notches, slots, holes

The nesting process is the same for

3D CAM files as for 2D. Standard

parts can be mixed with bevel parts.

All automatic, machine and process

independent. Shown here are

nested beveled parts, clean and

ready to weld. Note the long slot

with opposite bevels and clean end.

This was achieved with a single pass

and complex torch rotation.

“CUT SMARTER, QUOTE FASTER” SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR METAL PROCESSING SINCE 1976

Makes easy work of

complex heavy plate

beveling :

Handles mixed 1, 2, 3

bevel passes with ease

Produces real world

precise engineered

ready-to-weld industrial

parts

Precise parts come off the

machine ready to be assembled

which removes the double-

handling, labor costs and the

need for re-works.

AUTOMATIC TOOL PATHING & INTELLIGENT NESTING

Allows for multiple drawing

plan standards so you don’t

have to recalculate and redraw

parts. Single part bevels can

be mapped to DXF layers.

Full penetration

with backing bar

True shape multi plate nesting for straight and weld prepared parts with precise bevel clearances on true boundaries, not fixed gap nesting. Handles the full correction of offsets, varying kerf and feed rate based entirely on the torch manufacturers tables. Maximizes plate utilization when using the new wrist style heads. No more cutting waste due to the extra allowance on ‘loopy’ corners!

Nest part data with Internal Circles

You only have to add your bevel require-

ments. From that point, everything is

automatic. The system turns the drawing

into a series of single passes with all

physical offsets included and the full

verification showing the meaning of all M

codes for checking.

6 types of incoming views for 2D profiles:

Top, bottom, middle, largest, smallest and varying Z.

Outputs a file which can go into 2D nesting with the weld edges intact!

Nest and cut these massive sections

ready to weld with ease. All done to the

correct welding standards in one process.

unchanged (no special training

is required).

Input: (Fast)CAM, DXF, DWG,

IGES, StruCAD, DSTV.

brochure for more details.

Note: The postprocessors listed on our web site are for standard 2D cutting machines and controllers. The FastCAM® 3D Software has

not been tested on every bevel machine and CNC controller combination. All are subject to verification and appropriate testing.

No more hand cutting and grinding!

Grinding is a costly, dirty, difficult and time consuming operation, especially for Q&T and Stainless

steels. Removing an entire process is a huge productivity gain that also reduces the production

timetable. Also, a machine cut edge will always be more accurate and consistent than a hand

cut edge. The savings in material handling alone justify the move to automatic weld preparation.

FastCAM® 3D Bevel Editor

This is the same editor that is

included in the programming

systems listed here.

We have made it available as a

separate program so that weld

engineers and designers can

independently specify weld prep-

arat ion data and emai l

(Fast).CAM files to the fabricator

or service center. (No NC/DXF)
