Efficient use of work cells thanks to improved machine and robot programs
Additional features of the new E2 release include a tool for generating circular linking motions between operations. This is a major benefit particularly for users of 3D laser cutting machines: Linking operations that consist of circular rather than linear motions help reduce overall cycle times on many machine tools, and jerky motions on the machine can be avoided.
Another innovative feature of the new E2 software: The existing surface and side tangent operations now also support linear and circular approaches for purposes of calculating tool path movements. This yields a significant reduction in the number of tool path elements while retaining the required process tolerance and sag motions. Users benefit from higher graphical performance, easier interaction and improved overview. Since it also reduces the file size of the robot programs, they are more easily managed by the control systems.
Also newly available is sealing technology, which now offers highly optimized visualization of process results that immediately shows users whether the process is effective, where the sealant material is being applied to the geometries, and in what quality and amount.
