eluCad

eluCad, developed by elusoft GmbH, is a programming software specifically designed to streamline the programming process for bar processing centers. According to the vendor, this user-friendly software eliminates the need for manual ISO code programming, making it efficient and accessible for small to large-sized companies involved in the processing of aluminum, plastic, or steel profiles. Metal fabricators, window and door manufacturers, curtain wall manufacturers, structural engineering firms, and construction companies are among the professions and industries that can benefit from eluCad's advanced programming capabilities.

Key Features

3D-Ansicht: According to the vendor, eluCad provides users with a 3D view that offers a realistic representation of the constructed parts on the screen. Users can easily rotate, zoom in, and zoom out the 3D model to visualize it from different angles. The 3D model also displays the position of the X, Y, and Z axes, aiding in data input and visualization.

Werkzeugoptimierung: According to the vendor, eluCad optimizes the programming of bar processing centers by selecting the most suitable tool for each machining operation. This optimization aims to minimize tool changes, potentially saving time and improving efficiency. For example, if a 14 mm hole and a 12 mm hole can both be made using a 10 mm tool, eluCad will choose the 10 mm tool to avoid unnecessary tool changes.

Optimierende Software: Werkzeug- und Wegeoptimierung: According to the vendor, eluCad's programming is based on extensive industry knowledge, allowing it to optimize the programming of bar processing centers. The software aims to minimize tool changes and calculate the fastest travel paths between machining points. By attempting to avoid unnecessary profile repositioning and optimizing tool paths, eluCad aims to enable time-efficient and precise manufacturing.

Kollisionskontrolle: According to the vendor, eluCad includes collision control functionality to prevent machine parts or clamping elements from interfering with the machine's travel path. The software performs calculations to identify potential collisions and aims to help prevent costly machine crashes and downtime. This feature aims to ensure that properly programmed parts can be manufactured quickly and consistently.

Neue Werkzeuge einfach anlegen: According to the vendor, eluCad allows users to easily create new tools within the software. By inputting comprehensive information such as cutting length, plunge depth, diameter, total length, and tool holder data, users can add new tools to their programming repertoire. This feature aims to provide flexibility and customization options for various machining processes.
