Luterbach reduces material waste and more than halves programming time with JETCAM Expert and Orders Controller
Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:00:00 GMT
Luterbach originally purchased JETCAM Expert to drive their Trumpf 200R in 2006. After replacing the 200R with a 600L punch/laser combination they purchased free form automatic nesting in 2012, and JETCAM Orders Controller (JOC) in 2013.
JOC provided a remote interface to JETCAM's order and nest databases and allowed Luterbach to create dynamic work lists of parts to be queued for nesting. A CSV API was developed to allow direct import of job lists from Excel. Luterbach also commissioned several other add-ons to simplify the handling of jobs. As a result a recent order containing over 1250 parts that previously would take 34 hours (4 working days) to process was completed in 8 hours - over 400% improvement.

JETCAM showcases multiple new composite products at UK's Advanced Engineering Show 2013
Thu, 7 Nov 2013 13:00:00 GMT
JETCAM International s.a.r.l. today announced that it is showcasing a range of new and updated products at this year's Advanced Engineering Show, held at The N.E.C., Birmingham between 12th and 13th November on booth D215.
The majority of the booth will be dedicated to a prototype ply unloading and sorting system, which integrates tightly with JETCAM's CrossTrack and Expert systems. Once plies are nested for cutting a further 'nest' of the unloaded positions is then created. CrossTrack and JETCAM Expert know where all of the plies are on the machine cutting table and know the required order and rotation of the plies in the kit - this information is passed to the unloading system for fully automatic unloading and sorting.
JETCAM's award-winning flagship nesting product, JETCAM Expert will be previewing a forthcoming release with a completely revamped interface, along with a raft of new features. New runtime estimation algorithms further improve accuracy for quoting, and a new version of Expert, called Premium Connected Automation (CA) will also be showcased, allowing any system such as MRP/ERP software to remotely control JETCAM. Functions such as automatically importing CAD files to create profiled components, or automatic nesting for different machines and materials can all be performed remotely and automatically.
JETCAM will also demonstrate the latest version of its award-winning CrossTrack manufacturing suite, providing complete visibility of orders/material stock/nests/machine workloads and full traceability, delivering reduction of errors and massive time savings. CrossTrack recently won the Composites UK Trade Association's coveted 'Innovation in Manufacture' award in September 2013, due to demonstrable savings across multiple departments. Paper can be massively reduced or in many cases eliminated. All information is updated in real time across the network, so all staff are working from the same live data. Barcode scanning removes the possibility of error, and the need to enter data across different systems is eradicated. CrossTrack works in conjunction with JETCAM Expert nesting software to provide true dynamic high performance nesting, which alone can often pay for the system within months.

Case Study: IMSCORP save at least 15% on material, halve programming time and see 6-8 month ROI with JETCAM nesting software.
Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:18:00 GMT
IMSCORP, is based in Lincoln, Nebraska. The corporation includes two subsidiaries - SourceOne, Inc. and Bison, Inc. SourceOne is a custom contract manufacturer and powder coater and also markets its own line of outdoor power equipment including PLUGR cam-driven reciprocating turf aerators. Bison manufactures sports equipment as well as outdoor site furnishings and custom gymnasium structure. In 2007, the company ran two Amada Vipros Queen turret punch presses and one Mazak Champ 1500w CO2 laser, each running software supplied by the vendor.
To make the sheet metal fabricating process more cost-effective, a corporate cost center was created in a new facility to handle sheet metal operations for both companies, and also implemented an MRP system. In order to improve their shop floor efficiency and to allow them freedom to select any brand of machine in the future, they decided they would need to investigate alternative nesting systems and programming software. Said Michael Kreuzberg, IMSCORP Production Supervisor; 'I visited many machine tool manufacturers' facilities.

They also updated to the latest version of JETCAM Expert, supplied by US distributor NestOne Solutions.
JETCAM launches JOC Premium II at JEC composite trade show in Paris
Fri, 8 Mar 2013 10:00:00 GMT
JETCAM International today announced the launch of a new version of its popular JETCAM Orders Controller (JOC) Premium product at the JEC Composites trade fair in Paris from 12th to 14th March.
JOC Premium II, which can be seen at stand U94, employs the companyandrsquo;s CrossTrack-style interface and builds upon the success of the JOC Lite II, released late 2012. The product provides a quick way to remotely build unlimited worksheets of components for nesting, either manually or automatically.

Goetze drive Trumpf, Bystronic and Foracon punch, laser and waterjet technologies with JETCAM Expert nesting software.
Tue, 1 Jan 2013 10:00:00 GMT
The Walter Goetz Company was founded over one hundred years ago. With over 100 employees, the company provides subcontract services producing all types of semi or fully finished metal products for prototypes or small/medium sized production runs. To deliver this the company has continually purchased and upgraded a wide range of CNC cutting machines, employing a mix of laser, waterjet, punching and combination punch/laser technologies spanning several manufacturer brands.
In the mid 1990's, Mr. Stefan Burghard, Managing Director, discovered that programming the machines was becoming a bottleneck within the business; 'We had three different CAD/CAM systems in use programming the machines. It was a significant effort when, for example, a new job had to be re-programmed for another machine if a machine was unavailable due to workload or maintenance. In addition, it took a long time for staff to learn to use all three systems. If a programmer was away due to illness or holiday some production areas would stagnate because other programmers would, again, need training time on the respective software - this was time that we did not always have.'
In the attempt to commit to a single CAD/CAM system it quickly became clear that from a technical point alone it was simply not possible to use the software supplied with each machine brand to program other machines from different manufacturers, so the company researched the market for software that could drive a wider range of brands and technologies.
JETCAM launches reworked low cost order and assembly management software
Thu, 6 Dec 2012 17:00:00 GMT
JETCAM has today launched a new end user version of its popular JETCAM Orders Controller software (JOC). JOC Lite II benefits from a complete ground-up rework that delivers a user-installable product requiring less than 30 minutes training.
JOC Lite II allows users to remotely create order lists of either components or complex assembly structures for sending to JETCAM Expert for nesting. The software ships with over 20 tutorial videos which walk the user through all stages of setup and usage, and only requires paths to be set up to point to the user's JETCAM installation and geometry files.
Once installed, users can create unlimited worksheets, perhaps for different operators, machines or even by day of the week. These can be populated by dragging and dropping components or complete assemblies onto the worksheet, or by using CSV import to create and populate worksheets automatically.
Complex assembly structures can be easily created. Users start by creating their assembly and sub-assembly names and arranging them in their depth order. They then drag and drop components into any level of the assembly, specify quantities and the assembly is then ready to order. Complex assemblies multiple levels deep can be created automatically using files in directory structures - the user can right-click over a folder, select 'Create Assembly' and it is immediately available to order.
Liebert Corporation drive 19 machines across four sites with JETCAM Expert CADCAM and nesting software
Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:00:00 GMT
Liebert Corporation, a division of Emerson Electric of St Louis manufactures air and power conditioning for computers and server rooms. They purchased their first Finn-Power Shear Genius in 1997, which was offered with JETCAM Expert by the vendor. Alan Mauerman, Senior Manufacturing Engineer, explained; 'The previous CAM software was simply not designed to support right angle shearing and was barely acceptable for creating basic X and Y g-code for machines like our standalone Amada turret punch press. It was slow to use, often displaying unexplained errors and suffered from problems importing DXF files. The JETCAM and Finn-Power machines being supplied together was a great combination as it greatly reduced our training time - we could make a nest and see our results quickly'
Since moving to JETCAM the company has aggressively expanded and upgraded its CNC machinery across several plants. Columbus OH has six Shear Genius' - mainly CNC punch with one punch/laser combination machine. All have material loading robots, with most also benefiting from right angle shear and one tied to an Express Bender machine. JETCAM drives all of the turret machines in Liebert's other facilities in Delaware, Ohio, Ironton, Ohio and Mexicali, Mexico.
