LIBELLULA [CUT]®
DESCRIPTION
LIBELLULA [CUT] LIBELLULA [CUT] is a programming system for laser, plasma, oxygen lance and water jet etc. cutting machines in the Libellula universe.
It has been designed with the latest technical and computer tools and is compatible with the new Windows 32 and 64 bit platforms.
Libellula[CUT] is also based on the Libellula Univers "One Click" philosophy.
In this area, the "one click" philosophy has led to the development of a range of real application support technology.
ISA (Intelligent Shape Analyzer) technology analyses completely automatically the shapes of each individual piece to be cut and selects the most appropriate nesting method, thereby freeing the user from making long and complex choices that have up until now limited the use
of automatic nesting.
RTC (Ready To Cut) technology automatically activates Libellula[CUT] when a new event is registered (e.g. when a DXF file/files is/are imported), and immediately and automatically recovers all the information needed to perform nesting operations, cutting paths and the post processor procedures requested.
Last of all, QLC (Quality Level Check) technology enables production to be launched for all or only the jobs within certain specific quality parameters. These parameters are chosen when Libellula [CUT] is installed or whenever necessary. If quality standards are not sufficient for the production batch selected, the system attempts to find better solutions by making certain choices that enable the minimum requirements requested to be met.

SITUBE®
DESCRIPTION
4-axis pipe cutting technology
SITUBE is a special tube cutting system designed to cut not only round pipes but tubes of any shape or cross-section. When combined with SI[CAD]max, SITUBE enables three-dimensional model mathematics to be imported and modified or completely recreated. Here the term mathematics refers to shapes on which cutting paths can be generated.
By means of a high precision analysis of the surfaces and curves to be cut, the system decides the beginning and ending procedures and moves the laser cutting head to a perpendicular position above the relative points on the cutting path, defining the technological laser parameters on the basis of the work rules set by the user.
The program guarantees a risk free cutting path thanks to a monitoring module as well as specifically checking for possible collisions between the laser head and parts of the piece
to be cut.
A dynamic simulation of the workpiece, the spindle, the securing system, piece rotation and the interaction between the piece and laser head can also be viewed before the part program to be sent to the machine computer is generated.
FEATURES
SITUBE consists of the following modules:
- SI[CAD] max: 3D geometry
- SITUB3: 4 axis laser cutting technology
- Post Processor: ISO code generator

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).

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.

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.
