LVD has a long tradition of producing high quality laser, punching and bending machines.
WiCAM developed the first post-processors for these machines back in the 1990s.
Today, hundreds of LVD machines produce and communicate with WiCAM’s PN software.
In particular, PPS connectivity, common cuts and the ability to combine LVD machines with any other manufacturer’s production methods process allows customers to realize complete ‘next level’ automation solutions.
| Robin Kroon, Managing Director of Broshuis:
“As the central component of the IT process chain, the PN4000 receives the production data before the actual production to provide the ERP system with the necessary information regarding required material and time capacities for the scheduling. To do this, PN4000 communicates bidirectionally with the Remmert warehouse in real time. When initiating the order, PN4000 receives the developed sheet metal parts from LVD’s CADCAM B, nests the orders according to date, priority, material types and aditionally production criteria.”
The manufacturer-independent CAD/CAM/Nesting system for all well-known machines – and all PPS/ERP and CAD systems. Control your machinery IT-integrated, fully automatic – and, if desired, decentralized. The powerful solutions of WiCAM ensure maximum productivity today and create the flexibility for the challenges of tomorrow.
PN4000 is the CAD / CAM / Nesting system for PPS / ERP-driven programming of CNC cutting, punching and portal milling machines of all kinds. The various modules and interfaces enable flexible job shop manufacturing, up to unmanned fully automated, industrial process chains.
Lasern automates the programming of laser systems. The application has material and sheet thickness-dependent databases. Complex geometry shapes, contour sizes, labeling and special machining of a component are automatically detected and processed optimally.
PNBend is the bending simulation for external programming of press brakes by different manufacturers. The automatic functions create the bending programs for your machines from 3D data quick and easy.
Process data for the bend zone is imported directly. All bending information of the component (opening angle, radius, punch, die and special bending techniques) can be viewed and changed in PNBend.
Production Manager Aart von Ginkel: “Our production has always been characterized mainly by the high quality and flexibility. In order to be able to grow qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of these core competences, the only logical way was the integrated digitization of our process chain.”
The creation of holistic automation solutions based on CAD and order data has always been one of WiCAM’s core competencies.
This includes communication with various solutions of warehouse systems, transport logistics, order systems, calculation programs, etc.
Especially the ERP / PPS connectivity provides our customers with holistic next level automation solutions – from raw materials through production and delivery to post-calculation and analysis.
