The
machine uses the program Edit-Way from OPTIMA S.r.l which is a useful reference for the entry, the optimization and also the
management of work orders for materials to be cut.
This program has been designed after many years of research, co-operation and experience
in the relevant field by skilled engineers always attentive to the problems
of companies.
All
procedures have been made fully automatic and self-guided in order to
allow
even the less experienced users to learn the various functions of the program
easily.
Any
peripheral or pointing system, such as printers and mice, supported by
Windows
XP are automatically compatible with Edit-Way.
Main
features
Edit-Way
is based on a computerized workstation located on machine board, where
all control functions for the interaction between system and cutting table are
performed. This workstation allows you to perform all functions necessary for
entering data, optimizing and cutting work orders, as well as acquiring data from
optimizations performed in the office with OPTIMA or OPTIMA compatible
systems. The program offers various functions as stated below:
Optimization
No
limit in using different sizes for the pieces to be cut or different sheet sizes. Automatic
and extremely quick and efficient optimization. Pieces are arranged inside
cutting plans so as to generate the smallest possible waste areas and to allow,
at the same time, for an easy breakout of optimized sheets.
Display
The
display on machine board of the Edit-Way system allows the complete control
over cutting activities.
Sheet
Stock
Edit-Way’s sheet stock management is based on default
parameters.
Shape Management
In Edit-Way, you can insert shapes starting from a
built-in comprehensive parametric library library of predefined shapes,
which can be modified simply by modifying their parameters.
For each shape, the system
automatically inserts a trim, if required. You can also read and write shapes
in the .dxf format as well as in the most common formats used in the glass
works sector.
Data
Import
Edit-Way
system can import data of work orders previously optimized in the office,
or - if entirely installed on the computer located on machine board - it can
be directly interfaced with the main optimization system and make the most
of its features.
Optional
Edit-Way is also capable of importing optimized or
non optimized data
generated by non-Optima systems.
Post-Processor
Automatic
optimization of the cutting path and subsequent creation of the CNC file
for ANY linear or shape cutting machine and for the bending machine. The program
can communicate with the machine both via path and through a serial cable.
Hardware Requirements
The
program runs on all IBM compatible computers equipped with the Windows
XP Home and Professional operating system, when properly installed
and working. The microprocessor and the RAM must be those required
by the operating system installed. The
video display card shall be an SVGA and the required resolution for correctly
displaying all program menus SHALL be set at least to 1024 x 768 with
65,000 colors and small characters.
The
space available on the hard disk should be of at least 1 GB.
