Our flatbed cutting machines rely on powerful software to make accurate and repeatable cuts in a wide range of demanding production environments.
Control software developed by Blackman and White in-house can be supplied with the machine. This software is extremely adaptable and can be modified quite simply by the end-user. Should special functions be required by the customer, the computer staff at Blackman and White can make the necessary modifications. |

act/cut 3d is aimed at programming all 3D-cutting installations (laser, water-jet, plasma) whatever the number of axis. Furthermore, act/cut 3d offers another specificity: the software can be extended to other technological processes such as laser welding and polishing.
From a true 3D-representation of the machine (kinematics, axis limits...) and its environment,
act/cut 3d allows a very quick definition of cutting contours on CAD-imported parts. In addition, the software enables you to automatically model the tooling based on the 3D model of the part. Then, the software generates the head trajectories using a powerful algorithm that optimizes the paths with collision avoidance. Creating and validating the cutting program is easily carried out thanks to the realistic simulation functions and automatic control functions combined with visual displays of anomalies.
act/cut 3d is an autonomous programming software that pilots all machine and robot trademarks. Moreover, for 5-axis machines that may have to cut flat sheets, the 2D programming modules are provided with act/cut 3d. For companies that might have to cut tubes, the optional module act/tubes that includes specific features for tubes cutting (modeling, nesting and programming) can be combined with act/cut 3d.

Lantek Expert Cut is a CAD/CAM system specially designed for automating the programming of sheet metal cutting machines (oxycutting, plasma, laser and water jet).
Leaders in oxycutting and plasma
Lantek Expert cut optimises continuous cutting, automatically positions multi-torches and automatically calculates the most suitable remnants.
Established in laser and water jet
Lantek Expert Cut optimises cutting, avoiding passing over already cut holes, and manages different cut qualities. |

ARIANNA CNC supplied by Ficep represents the ultimate innovation among the control units for CNC machines used on simple 2 controlled axis machines up to more than 40 controlled axis machines.
ARIANNA is an extremely easy and intuitive software, thanks to the user-friendliness of Windows and to the graphics which has been dedicated exclusively for the steel construction, ARIANNA can be easily used even by inexperienced users.
The set-up through visual windows is really effective and errorproof.
The programming of nesting and multing for drilled plates and for steel construction beams is extremely simple and intelligible.
The M.M.I (Man Machine Interface) ARIANNA is the same on all Ficep CNC machines, this enables operators and maintenance people of a steel construction workshop where machines of different type are installed, to understand the use and programming independently from the typology of the machines.
Moreover it is understood that ARIANNA can be interfaced with the most modern CAD systems (Structural Steel CAD 3D) for the steel construction industry, such as BOCAD, X-STEEL, STRUCAD, SCIA, DESIGNDATA, PROSTEEL, etc.
Furthermore, thanks to the CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) and MIS (ultimate Management Information System for steelwork fabricators) software packages supplied by our sister-company STEEL PROJECTS, the software ARIANNA can be interfaced with CAD such as AUTOCAD importing formats like DXF and DWG, apart from the most recognized format DSTV (Deutscher Stahlbau-Verband). |

| MDSI's feature product, OpenCNC® software, is a production-proven, unbundled, software CNC control built on an open architecture. Open architecture enables manufacturers to integrate off-the-shelf hardware and software technologies to achieve flexible and agile world-class manufacturing. Unlike proprietary CNC controls, OpenCNC requires no proprietary hardware or motion control cards. Combining a soft CNC and soft PLC in a single application, OpenCNC is well suited for new equipment as well as machine control replacements. |

Features
- User Interface
Genesis uses the same user interface as other Radan 08 products. The screen below shows the interface and a typical sheet layout for the current part.
- Output
Machine set-up, tooling lists, nest graphics, part identification and most importantly the machine program are all automatically produced directly from the nest schedule.
- Automatic Nest Schedule
Automatic program creation following input into the nest schedule of part number / kit number, quantity required and priority to determine which components are the most urgent.
- Manual 'bump' nesting
The 'bump nesting module allows parts to be placed onto the sheet from a nesting schedule. Parts always jump to position nearest the cursor. Moving the cursor causes the parts to track around the shape of parts already on the sheet until the desired position is selected.
- Data Translation Wizard
The Data Translation Wizard automatically translates single or multiple DXF and DWG formats. |

Cut out tubes in 4 axes:
SITUBE is the system dedicated to the cutting of tubes and profiles.
With the assistance of SICAD you have the possibility of importing the files of the models in 3D and of possibly modifying them, or of creating new ones. Models on which it will be possible to generate the course of cutting.
Thanks to a meticulous control of the surfaces and curves to be cut out, the system determines the procedures of starter of entry and of exit, the cutting head has perpendicular to the points course determining the skeletal rules of work by the user.
The program guarantees a course of cut free from risks thanks to a module of control which checks possible the collisions between the head and the portions of a piece to be cut out or of the tools which fix the part.
It is also possible to visualize a dynamic simulation which represents the part, the chuck, the support, rotations of the part and the interaction with those of the head laser, before generating the program to be used on the numerical control of the machine.
