5.Nesting
It
includes auto and interactive Nesting. After nesting, a most economical line and
an excess material graphic (for future reference when reusing the excess
material) can be generated automatically. They both have interference alarm to
prevent accidental cutting.
Auto Nesting
1) Parameters setting such as kerf width, cutting margin
compensation and Iteration count;
2) Nesting
method setting: starting point ((left bottom, right bottom, left up, right up),
direction: X direction and Y direction;
3)
Precise calculation, such as inside hole nesting, to improve the efficiency of
working and utilization rate of material.
Interactive
Nesting
After setting the parameters of
kerf width, cutting margin compensation and iteration count; You can automatic
nest the parts, and then you can reselect this parts, and manually nest objects,
this function support drag, drop and bump features.
Remnant
nesting
With interactive nesting or
auto nesting, remnant can be used for next nesting.

6.Plate & Remnant Management
The Plate/Remnant Inventory Database stores a list of all
the plates and remnant one has stored at his facility.
Once this list is
created, it can be accessed within ucannest so that a user can easily see what
he has available to him to nest on.
Remnant
boundary
The remnant boundary can be
created and shown during auto nesting and interactive Nesting, and the range of
it will be changed when you move the part. The remnant boundary slices the parts
from the plate, so that tedious manual cutting is replaced.
Save
Remnant Figure
After editing serial
number, material, thickness, quantity, length, width, area. you can add remnant
figure into the plate/remnant database so that the remnant figure can be found
easily when you want to use it.
Open Remnant
Database
when Open the plate/remnant
database, in the list of plate/remnant, locate and click the plate you want, and
then you previw the figure of the plate/remnant.
and you can search, sort or list the plate/remnant with key word as area,
thickness, length, width so that the suitable remant can be found easily.

7.Node
This is one of the particular function in UcanNest V9.It provides the
solution for cutting bevels and solution for cut in/out. With node editing
function, chamfer and fillet can be generated accurately and extracted contour
can be edited quickly.
Solution for Cutting bevels
Solution for
Cut in/out
The parameters of the
length of cut in/out line and rounded angle radius can be set accurately.
Multi-node can be edited once.
Node Editing
With node editing function, you can edit extracted
contour of figure accurately and arbitrarily. You also can change the shape of
cut in/out line and select any node as the starting point for machining.
|
|
|
8.Bridges
Bridge is to minimize the wear and tear on consumable items in cutting
process. The number of pierce holes can be reduced by using bridge or break-out
bridge. The minimum bridge width should be larger than kerf value. The length of
Cut in/out line should be set respectively. |
|
|
9.Break-out
Setting position and width of Break-out Bridge
arbitrarily;
Reducing the piercing of the holes
in oxy flame cutting and consumed electricity in plasma cutting for effective
improvement of productivity and expenses on consumable parts. |
|
|
10.Cut in/out
UcanNest V9 provide many types of cut in/out. Cut-in
position and cut-out position can be selected arbitrarily
Types of
Cut in/out
It can be straight line, Arc
or others. Parameters as the length of line, angle of line (0—90) and radius of
arc can be set accurately.
|
|
|
11.Snap Function
Snap function is very helpful when we draw figures. It
improves the efficiency of drawing. This function also can be used for
accurately finding Cut in/out position. The type of position will be shown when
cursor moves on it. |
|
|
12.Continuous Cutting
Entering the shortest distance value between cut-out of
last part and cut-in of the next part to facilitate the possibility of
continuous cutting, can reduce the number of pierce holes in oxy flame cutting
and save nozzle for effective improvement of productivity and expenses on
consumable parts. |
|
|
13.Intelligent Function
When generating a path for a figure with both internal
outline and external outline, UcanNest V9 will calculate path for internal
outline and external outline respectively and add cut inline for them. Internal
outline is in inner so that you need not define internal outline and external
outline in person. |
|
|
14.Path
This function
includes manual path and auto path and path output. When doing manual setting
for cutting path, it is necessary to pay attention to cut sequence, direction of
travels and angle of Cut in/out for both the internal and external contours. The
advantage of the manual path is that you can add cut in/out line arbitrarily and
you can manually control the direction and cutting sequence. You can also select
relevant cutting paths for different parts. Automatic output is a high efficient
method for path editing, and the interface of it is easy to understand.
Manual path
The parameters
of it include Offset compensation (left, right, none) and Processing speed. When
doing manual setting for cutting path, you can cancel the action and re-select
direction of travel and you also can change the direction of travel by changing
the direction of arrow and broken line, So that under the instruction of manual
path, it is easier to generate the path for common cutting.
Auto
path
Auto Path can generate the cutting
path automatically. It can be classified into On, Outside and Inside according
to relationships between the torch center axis and the contour.
Path
output
After generate the path, we can
output the path to G-code file.
Parameters
including Device type , mode, origin, file name and save .

15.path Edit
We can edit generated path. Such as Path Sequence, Path
Panel, Group Path, Ungroup Path and path stat.
Path
Sequence
Tool path sequence can be
adjusted so as to improve machining process and machining quality. The sequence
number of path is shown at the beginning of start point for processing so that
the sequence number is easy to change.
Path Panel
Path panel is used to divide a path into several smaller
portions so that you can machine materials accurately even when the work area of
your machine is not big enough. After machining, you can combine the portions
together to form a complete one. In this way, not only machining time is
reduced, but efficiency is improved.
Group Path and Ungroup
Path
You can group several paths as one
unit for machining. You also can output several paths
respectively.
Path Stat.
With Path Stat., the UcanNest V9 can show all the length of path, rapid
move distance, piercing hole count, cutting time，so that we can evaluate the
efficiency of path.

|
16.Path Walk Simulation
Machining path can be previewed though path walk
simulation, which can avoid machining errors and reducing fault. Simulation
speed can be changed. |
|
|
17.path Output
Machine
processing (cutting, pre-pierce, marker) cutting speed, fast speed; original
point based on a special point or precise positioning output.
Cutting—common machine processing
Pre-pierce---we can utilize the used nozzles to finish
the holes first and then continue cutting with the good nozzle, so that nozzle
can be saved.
Marker---draw the outline of figure. It is an inspection before
processing.
