TurboCut was specifically designed for the metal cutting industry. In addition to torch on and off commands, TurboCut supports punch and powder marking codes easily.
Using your CAD program, TurboCut allows you to draw your part in any order. You add lead-ins and lead-outs anywhere you want. TurboCut calculates the correct cutting path based on your designation of the start point. You can easily save standard parts to disk and retrieve them for manual nesting. Manually nesting many parts onto a sheet is as simple as retrieving the parts you want, rotating them if necessary, and moving or dragging them into place. Then define the start points for each shape. All drawing work and nesting is done in your CAD program. TurboCut reads DXF files or DesignCAD’s .DC2 format.
Multi-File_Conversion
Stack up a list of files to convert and let them process. Uses Windows
standard click, Ctrl-Click, and Shift-Click highlighting conventions.
Then convert all
files without stopping, builds a list of errors if any exist, and BCI Draw displays the
results one at a time for your review.
CNC_Editor
Using BCI Draw, you can view the cut path one step
at a time if you wish. You can stop at any point, press a button and you will be placed
into the CNC editor right at the line of code where you stopped. This allows manual
editing of your CNC code, although it is rarely necessary. You can also print the CNC code
from the editor.
BCI_Draw
The enhanced BCI Draw module makes estimating cut time a snap.
TurboCut_CNC_Link
TurboCut CNC Link for Windows has download capability to your CNC control. This means the program you create
can be sent from your PC to control via an RS-232 cable. Upload is also supported.
Template taught parts and standard shape parts can be sent from the CNC control to the PC
and TurboCut can translate this into CAD. This means if you already have a tracer system,
you can trace your existing parts, upload them to the computer, and edit them with the
CAD. Your transition becomes much easier.
TurboCut CNC Link for Windows supports multiple controllers to one Host Computer.
Runs on Windows 95/98, Millennium, and Windows NT/2000. Compatible with AutoCad through version 2000, AutoCad Light, and all versions of DesignCAD through DesignCAD 3000.
