Waterjet Cutting

Because MTC Software is an independent developer of software, our products are designed for use with any CNC waterjet cutting system.

MTC Software customers use our software with waterjet cutting machines produced by the following manufacturers: Calypso, Cutting Technologies, ESAB, Flow, JetEdge, Knuth, OMAX, Romeo Engineering and many others.

MTC Software recommends ProNest for waterjet cutting applications

MTC Software offers many features that apply to the waterjet cutting process; some of these important features address the following areas of your cutting operation:

Enhanced Part Quality

• Profile size-based process parameter control reduces edge taper
• Corner, radius and lead ramping technology improves cut quality
• Quality-based process parameter control for selective cut quality
• Lead in/out style control based on profile size for optimum profile quality
• High/Low pressure pierce cycles for brittle material
• Automatic application of under/over travel leads and auto-height control and dwells to minimize part edge “divots” at lead in/out locations
• Automatic recognition of grain restraint to avoid forming fractures

Improved Material Utilization

• Pair, quad, array and multi-part common-line cutting
• Automatic nesting on remnant and skeleton plates
• Plate and nesting strategy selection optimization

Increased Productivity

• Bridge, chain and common-line cutting reduces cycle time
• Automatic profile tabbing minimizes machine interruptions
• Optimized cut sequencing to reduce traverse times
• Multi-head cutting support
• Collision Avoidance technology minimizes nozzle crashes
• Support for cutting and etching processes
• Pre-piercing with different consumables or processes
• Plate size verification and torch home control
• Tabs to reduce potential tip-up situations
• Abrasive flow control via the CNC
