With the ability to break down an entire tube assembly, SigmaTUBE SW can separate parts by nesting tasks, nest each part for optimum yield, and apply advanced toolpath techniques all in a matter of seconds. SigmaTUBE software supports laser and plasma cutting for tubes of any shape along with structural materials from C-channel to H-beam.
SigmaTUBE SW scans the entire assembly and identifies tube sections and features to be cut. Parts are automatically grouped according to cutting profiles and materials. Assembly quoting and auto tasking simplify work orders and process plans for the entire assemblies, and provides a customizable report with all of the job details.
