The ATOM Advanced Acquisition Systems & Nesting Software Packages are surely key factors of the ATOM FlashCut CNC Digital cutting solution. Actually, it completes the cutting system, optimizing material yields and dramatically reducing the overall time for placing the shapes to be processed. Since this is a crucial feature to any cnc dieless cutting system, ATOM developed a series of digitizing & acquisition systems coupled with unique software packages each capable of nesting shapes for a variety of market sectors.
ATOM IntelliScanner – Digital Vision System: The ATOM IntelliScanner automatically acquires & corrects pre-cut components to export data in ATOM format ready to be cut or in DXF format to be imported in any CAD system.
ATOM IntelliView – Off-Line Acquisition & Nesting Module: The Intelliview models can automatically acquire leather contour of any type and color. The lighting system and exclusive FlashTracer optical pen allow a clear visualization of the surface area and ease the quality marking. IntelliView range include both static and conveyorized off-line models.
ATOM IntelliScan – Scanning Acquisition System & Nesting Module: The IntelliScan models can automatically acquire leather contour and quality areas of pre-marked hides with any light condition. Available as both an off-line or an in-line version & integrated wwith various FlashCut cnc knife cutting tables, they are widely used in the automotive and furniture industries.
ATOM Automatic Nesting Software: ATOM offers a variety of nesting solutions designed for a variety of materials and industries; offering the “complete cutting solution”, since we deliver our experience, the software package and the cutting system.
+PLUS | Acquisition Systems & Nesting Software
Sequential steps acquisition system allows the acquisition of hides larger the acquisition area, but above all, processing hides step-by-step, it eases hide inspection., by approaching the area to be inspected to the operator. Moreover, it optimizes the processing time, allowing to nest the shapes over the parts already examined.
It allows to easily mark defects and quality area of the hides, and to display them both on the screen ad directly on the hide, each one with a proper color. Moreover, FlashTracer operates as a mouse, able to launch nesting and cutting operations and to modify parameters directly on the working area.
After scanning and nesting calculation, the off-line acquisition systems print an identification label with bar code to be applied to leather. Thanks to the label reader, the operator can quickly and easily find the cutting layout which corresponds to the leather processed.
Customized automatic nesting system. User friendly interface. Reduction of the process times and maximum material yield.
The in-line IntelliScan system scans the logo typed materials and coupled with the nesting algorithm, it automatically places the shapes to be cut according to the printed configuration on the materials.
Integrated acquisition systems with ATOM FlashCut knife cutting tables combine acquisition, nesting, cutting & piece collecting in one solution. These “All-in-One” solutions cut operating & labor costs and allow the complete production cycle in one single machine.
Availability of digital scanning systems to automatically acquire pre-cut shapes or sets, eliminate the costly time associated drawing these files in an AutoCAD type software. The system takes a photo of the shape, vectorizes them, automatically corrects optical distortions, and exports data in .dxf or ATOM format ready to be cut.
