Software for cutting machines - Systems and Software

Columbus software, an integrated package designed specifically for cutting machines, is said to offer simple setup and full process control for every cutting machine in a shop, plus part programming, true shape nesting, common line cutting, plate and inventory management, parts management, and machine-specific estimating in a single integrated package. Modules can run on a desktop workstation, or the basic package (Vision Plus-CNC) can run directly on the company’s Vision PC or NT control. In addition, the software will support other cutting systems.

The software supports straight or bevel cutting with oxyfuel, plasma, waterjet and laser, plus all current marking devices, in numerous combinations.

An estimating module tracks specific information, such as the machine’s cutting speeds, rapid speeds, lift speeds and pierce times for accurate job costing. This information can be exported to Excel or other databases for customized reporting and costing.
