New Features Added to Rotary Tube Pro



Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, has announced a minor version update of Rotary Tube Pro, software that makes it easier to design and cut tube and pipe parts with no 3-D CAD experience required.

The new minor version update includes a number of new features designed to speed the programming process. For example, automatic nesting is now standard, allowing software users to nest multiple quantities of the same part or different parts on stock tube. Users can add parts to the part list and build a stock list for nesting, maintain the seam orientation during nesting, add part spacing and choose how the software selects stock.

Other new features include the ability to store multiple parts and nests, plus an advanced edit feature that allows users to manually adjust preferences like the lead size and position, along with cut sequence. The software also includes features that allow users to pin commonly used lead styles to the top of the list for quick access and offers more powerful reports to better track nests and stock usage.

"Instead of moving tube and undertaking multiple steps-measuring, sawing, drilling, etc., Rotary Tube Pro really streamlines the production process," explained Tom Stillwell, a Project Manager for Hypertherm's CAD/CAM software team. "And though it is already easy to use, the enhancements introduced with this minor update of Rotary Tube Pro make the process of programming and completing jobs even easier than before, giving fabricators and manufacturers the ability to work more efficiently, boost productivity and reduce operating costs even further."

"Rotary Tube Pro software includes more embedded cut process expertise in the NC code than other tube and pipe software. By drawing on years of research and development, Hypertherm software developers were able to deliver optimal outcomes based on factory-tested and proven job parameters including leads, separations, kerf, feedrate and cutting techniques. Plasma, laser, waterjet and oxyfuel cutting processes for virtually all brands of tube cutting machines, including stand-alone units and cutting table add-ons, are all supported," said a company spokesperson. In addition, the software supports perpendicular cutting as a standard feature and bevel cutting as an optional module.
