STREAMLINING MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for high-quality steel doors and panels, driven by significant megatrends such as urbanization and sustainability. Consequently, manufacturers must identify solutions that allow them to maximize productivity and quality in their production processes. Similarlooking panels may have important differences to consider during production, such as left or right-handed doors. Prima Power NC Express CAM boosts panel manufacturing efficiency thanks to several features; here we will focus on two in particular: the Unfolding and the Parametric modules.

UNFOLDING MODULE

Using the Unfolding module, you can derive all the metal parts that make up a panel, along with material details, bending technology, K factor, and bending angle, directly from the 3D file and save it in the database.

BENEFITS

Faster programming: from the 3D CAD file to panel production in just a few clicks

Increased accuracy: bending parameters are calculated using algorithms

Reduced costs: errors, waste and production time are minimized

Improved design flexibility: no limits to shape complexity

Parametric Programming Module

With Parametric programming, users can create programs based on variables instead of fixed values. This enables a single program to produce multiple parts that have slight variations in dimensions or features, eliminating the need to write separate programs. It is particularly beneficial when there are frequent changes in design or production parameters.

BENEFITS

Higher efficiency: a single program for different parts reduces programming time and risk of errors

Enhanced accuracy and consistency: starting from one parametric code, multiple parts can be obtained based on a set of pre-defined variables

Reduced programming costs: less time and effort required for program generation

High flexibility: part design changes are easier to make.
