act/cut software

JSM Technologies signed up with ALMA France as a business partner for India, to promote the Act/Cut range of software products.
  
    
  About Alma Known for 25 years as the specialist in automatic nesting software applied to the cutting of flat materials, Alma is one of the European leaders in the publishing of CAD/CAM application software for sheet metal working and robotics.
  
     
  Alma offers the most comprehensive range of CAD-CAM software for sheet-metal and mechanized welding. The application software products of the act/ range cover all the technologies encountered in these activities: punching-nibbling, 2D cutting, routing, shearing, bending, 3D cutting, tubes cutting, arc welding... including the off-line programming of robots in the field of arc welding and 3D cutting.
  
 
  
  Resulting from Almas 25-year experience in CAM cutting-punching, act/cut has been designed for cutting machines following contours (laser, plasma, oxyfuel, water jet, routing) as well as for punchpresses and combined technology machines. Act/cutcontrols all machine brands and optimally takes into account each technology at every step of the programming, from part preparation to NC code generation, from nesting to tool path optimization.
  
     
  Windows? native and compliant with the Microsoft standards, act/cut is a user friendly software. It integrates a Visual-Basic? compatible language which proposes total customization (menus, macros, creation of parameterised parts) together with an Excel? compatible spreadsheet to easily create paper documents.
  
     
  With act/cut, you really save time: the software operates automatically whenever it is possible, but offers the final choice to the user for optimal efficiency in particular situations.
  
     
  act/cut is an open system that imports part geometries from any CAD software and is easily interfaced with Production Management and ERP systems. Many craft modules can be optionally integrated to the solution: 3D import and unfolding of sheet-metal parts, modules developed for boiler making or ventilation, tube cutting, letter and drawing cutting (logos, trade signs).
  
     
  JSM technologies strategic tie up with Alma will help the Indian shipyards to bring in this cutting edge automation technology.
