JET-Cut automatic fly cutting and JET-Optimizer
JET-Cut and JET-Optimizer are major steps forward in the automation of laser machines. JET-Cut allows 'fly cutting', also known as grid cutting, to be applied to arrays of holes. Unlike other systems this happens fully automatically. In tests, cut times for complex components are regularly reduced by 25-50%.
JET-Optimizer highly optimizes the sequence of cutting internal holes to minimize machine movements while avoiding travel over already cut holes.
Case Study: I-Cherng Refrigeration.
A user of JETCAM since 1995, I-Cherng were persuaded to take software supplied with their new Amada fiber laser. After a month of struggling they contacted JETCAM and purchased a postprocessor and an update to the latest version, which included JET-Cut fly cutting. As a result they saw an increase in throughput of 13.2%, reduced programming time by 80% and also saw material yields improve by 5-30%.
