Common Line Cutting Software

Common Line Cutting for Reduced Material Waste

Our Common Line Cutting software automatically identifies parts that can safely share a common line, while maintaining geometry and part specifications. It also effectively reduces heat in the metal by minimizing the inches of cutting required. This results in less thermal buildup, helping preserve part integrity and edge quality.

Our automated Common Line Cutting software isn’t just suitable for use on thin materials or tight layouts. It produces smoother edges, less warping and distortion and an overall better finish, even on thick plate. Other key features of our Common Line Cutting nesting solutions include:

  • Fully automated operation: The software is fully automated. It handles tabs, heat zones, movement and part stability.
  • Reduced material waste: It reduces material waste by minimizing the distance between cut parts and creating shared cutter paths between adjacent parts. It minimizes waste by using common line spacing among the parts while improving material utilization.
  • Shorter cycle times: Sharing common lines means less cutting which means you can run the same parts, but faster than cutting the part normally.

Combine Cutting for High Throughput Applications

PEP Technology’s Combine Cutting solution efficiently cuts multiple parts while sharing common geometries. It’s ideal for high-throughput applications and cutting operations that require precise tolerances, dimensional control, and intricate part geometries.

Fully integrated with nesting and inventory, our fully automatic solution determines the best way to combine parts and cut them in a way that makes sense without the need for extra programming or manual cleanup. Other standout features include:

  • Continuous path cutting: Our software seamlessly identifies part for common cut. These parts include common geometry with radii, notches, and more!
  • Optimized machine movements: It minimizes cutting machine movements by reducing pierce points, head raises and unnecessary rapid movement.
  • Clean part separation: Our software facilitates faster cuts and reduces wear on consumables. It also helps ensure clean part separation for downstream processes, such as bending or assembly.

PEP Technology is your trusted partner – Whether you need automated Common Line Cutting for lasers, plasma, or waterjet. We offer the best in efficient, high-yield nesting solutions that deliver exceptional results. Choosing PEP helps you unlock operational advantages, such as:

  • Faster production: Whether piercing takes two or five seconds, reducing the number of pierce points through combined cutting saves several minutes per run. This leads to less machine motion and faster production.
  • Higher material yield: Our Common Line Cutting technology packs parts more tightly, allowing parts to share edges. This improves material yield and reduce excessive scrap in production runs.
  • Optimized operation: In addition to advanced nesting algorithms, PEP Technology also offers automated decision-making, real-time inventory updates and minimized heat buildup.
  • Increased profits: Our software decreases the cut distance by up to 30%, leading to increased profits from reduced material and machine time.
