CNC programming for all your punch machines

Features include
Drag and drop data input

Radpunch is machine independent and designed to provide
your operators with the tools they require to reduce lead times
and optimise your punching machines. Designed to seamlessly
integrate with Radprofile, the Radan punch/profile solution
delivers optimisation for punch, profile and combination
machine tools. This formidable combination will expand with
you to program all your future punch, laser, plasma, router and
combination machine tool investments from one system.
Seamless programming
Radpunch seamlessly integrates
the whole programming process of
geometry creation, tooling, nesting,
sequencing, code generation and
finally DNC connectivity to the
machine controller. The seamless
integration delivered by Radpunch
provides an easy to use experience
for your operators, whilst accuracy
and consistency of programming
is maintained with the collation
of process critical data in the
Manufacturing Database (MDB).
Material, tooling and machine tool
specific data are stored in the MDB in
readiness for instantaneous distribution
when required to assist an operator or
automated process. Understanding the
sophistication and the limits of each
machine tool individually is the key
to driving it efficiently. Radpunch will
assist your operators to optimise your
manufacturing capacity to within those
limits for all of your machines from a
single system.
Tooling optimisation
Optimising the tooling used by a punch
machine is paramount to the efficient
programming of a punch machine
and thus the reduction of the cost to
manufacture a part. Simply optimising
conventional tools on a part and their
location in the turret or tool rail is no
longer sufficient, as tooling suppliers
are providing more sophisticated
tooling such as close to clamp slitters,

wheel tooling, de-burring tools,
scribes and flexible part marking tools.
Radpunch understands the constraints
of tools and the necessary NC codes
required to support them.
Radpunch orientation specific tooling
permits multiple tooling setups to
be applied to a part for different
nesting orientations and different
machine tools. This enables the
downstream nesting process to fully
optimise material utilisation by part
rotation, which may have otherwise
been restricted due to tool rotation
limitations. The same functionality
also optimises preparation of parts
for removal processes on more
sophisticated machine tools. Whilst
a part may be capable of dropping
down a chute or being picked at one
orientation, at another orientation
it may not be suitable. Orientation
specific tooling enables the appropriate
part removal processes to be applied
to complement the part orientation
during nesting.
To minimise programming lead time,
identification and manipulation of
tooling is paramount to an operator.
Radpunch provides this capability with
the user customisable interactive tool
list. The easy to use interface enables
an operator to quickly identify and
interact with tooling at process critical
stages.
