Plasma Cutting Software
More Machine Types
-Voortman V320 Plasma Cutting & Drilling machine
Plasma cutting is the process of cutting through conductive material using an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Because Plasma is a high-speed and precision-focused cutting type, this method is often used in both large and small facilities. Materials cut typically includes steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. In addition to developing totally unique features for plasma tables, SigmaNEST evaluates cutting parameters in real time, providing automatic improvements in cut times, consumable yield, and edge quality.Get the best parts on any machine regardless of power supply and controller configuration.
CAD Integration
- Automatic processing of flat pattern data from 3D CAD systems like SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, Siemens NX as well as IGES, DXF, DWG
- Supports more CAD file formats for import than any other nesting solution
BHQ™ Module
SigmaNEST BHQ™ improves on market-leading hole quality cutting strategies by offering both bolt-quality precision and optimization of taper, roundness, and machine runtime. Automatic leadin lookup is based on hole size, material thickness, process type, and power. You can achieve the quality you need with any high-definition-ready plasma system, without investing in a new setup to improve your cutting results.
