Punch and Shear
Our Punch Shear Software provides a complete comprehensive solution for your Punch Shear combination machines, with highly configurable auto tooling and sequencing control you can get the results you need and expect.
Tooling Libary
Easily create tools from our large range of parametric tool shapes for standard and forming tools.
Auto Tooling
Auto tooling defaults to generate the results you need. Standard settings for Nibble Pitch, Tool Overlap, Engineering Tolerances and Pattern Punch options are but a few of the features we have.
Sequencing
Sequencing options include configurable Grid , Belt, Shortest Distance optimisation along with Intelligent part store functions which will retain any specialised and detailed cutting rules you have giving you more automated sequencing.
Shape Mapping
Create custom scripts to map geometry specific features to tools.
Interactive Turret
Highly visual turret displays with full interactivity for drag and drop tooling, manual pick and placement or automatic tool assignment.
Tool Collections
Build your master tooling libraries into detailed collections for distinct machines, jobs or customers.
Custom Tools and Dies
Easily create custom shaped tooling by importing or drawing the tool directly in our CAD.
Tags / Tabs / Joins
Automatically or manually assign tags to your parts with features for
- Configurable Wire Joints
- Configurable Corner Joint
- Preference placement
- Joint tools
- MJC tools
Shear
Automated support for punch shear with clear visuals, dedicated nesting algorithm and sequencing control.
Simulation and Time Study
MetaCAM provides a detailed time study that displays the total time along with information such as the total length of cut, traverse time, part weight and number of pierces.
Reports
Punch Shear Part reports contain a wealth of part information and graphics that are easily customisable using a simple drag and drop interface.
