Amada Machines and Software to Run Amada machines
July 29, 2010, 12:24 pm
Amada machines are one of the commonly used Turret or Laser Machines in Australia. Apart from brand new machines, there are lot of second hand Laser and Turret Machines which are imported from overseas. For this reason we get a lot of enquiries everyday about the right software’s that help run these machines.
MetaCAM CAM software sold by N C Computer Systems www.nccs.com.au is one of the leading CAD CAM systems when it comes to programming these machines. It supports all the new features for the Amada EM machines to the old Aries including the New Amada tooling support, Pallet changers, auto loaders conveyers etc. The Intelligence behind any Cad Cam software “post processors “are quite powerful in Metacam, and easy to customize. Also another advantage compared to the CAD CAM software that comes with new Amada machines is that Metacam can program non Amada machines that you may have , or you may buy it in the future. You are not forced to buy one brand of Machine for rest of your life because all your cam data is locked to the default software that came with the machine. In fact one of our customers recently found out when he purchased the new machine with CAD CAM system he could only program the Amada machine and his other machine (another popular Japanese Machine Muratec) could not be programmed .
One of the other main reason why lot of second hand dealers recommend N C Computer Systems and Metacam is our 30 years of experience with Amada Machines (right from the JMA days). Main reason is we deal only with cad cam software’s, unlike some software vendors who sell the tooling and second hand machines and everything under the sun. Our focus is to get the most productive software for our customers, and our knowledge and experience on these Amada machines , from the tiny Aries 222 to the popular Pega 357 to Vipros, Laser like LC 644, LC 667, 3015 you name the Amada machine and we can supply the customised software.
You may be thinking of purchasing a second hand machine through auction or through second hand machine dealer, give us a call on 1300 021 046 for an unbiased opinion on how your newly purchased machine can run with maximum efficiency and minimum programming time.
One of the key factors in getting the most out of your old machines is to have modern software. That would use modern intelligent tools to program your machine, it can also do smart auto tooling, the optimised nesting of parts with minimum scrap or you have products designed in 3D software’s like Solidworks (please visit www.metaworks-sw.com) Metacam can work inside these 3d packages auto tool them and nest inside Solidworks.
