CAD/CAM for tube cutting
A comprehensive CAD/CAM solution for the programming
of tube-cutting machines and robots
act/tubes is a dedicated and comprehensive CAD/CAM solution that can control any type of tube-cutting
machines and robots (2D machines with a rotative axis, 4-axis machines dedicated to tubes cutting, 5-axis
machines with one or several rotative axes, robot cells aimed at cutting tubes) and manage all the steps of
the tube-cutting process, from the tube modeling to the CNC program generation.
Product overview
act/tubes can control any kinds of tube-cutting systems:
• 2D machines with a rotative axis,
• 4-axis machines dedicated to tubes cutting,
• 5-axis machines with one or several rotative axes,
• robot cells aimed at cutting tubes.
act/tubes performs all the tasks involved in the tube-cutting
process:
• tubes modeling,
• launching order management,
• automatic nesting of tube sections to be cut,
• creation and sequencing of the cutting tasks and postprocessing including the specific ISO code generation for
the machine or robot used.
Given the high investments involved in the installation of
tube-cutting machines, using a non-dedicated or very little
automated system would significantly affect and decrease
your productivity. Choosing act/tubes means benefiting
from an efficient and evolutive solution, which has been
successfully tried and tested by several manufacturers and
today relies on several industrial partnerships.
