sw for calculation time plasma cnc machine

[wernerit]

I have not found anything.
I basically have a cnc hyperterm plasma that was given to me with a basic spher. Now the most complete sw cost 8 12,000 euros, I can't afford them.

Is there anything that can help me in telling me the time machine?

In practice, I would like to give the dxf of the piece to the sw to tell the sw how fast the machine travels, and he should give me back cutting time, and no hints. I don't care that you calculate slowdowns and the time of sinking, I also like a rough figure.

Is there anything like that?

Thank you.

take the length of your cut and divide it for cutting speed?

 

[wernerit]

and how to calculate the length on complex pieces with also holes and sunshades?

If you have a software to draw and display a 2d, it seems strange that you don't tell you how long a line is..

 

[wernerit]

I use autocad, the single line but if I have a complex piece I put a life, especially if they are many pieces. I would like something of an automatic watermark to save time.

 

[Stan9411]

I don't know about autocad. Maybe there is a macro that does..

take the length of your cut and divide it for cutting speed?

cutting a straight line one meter long takes much less time than 50 20 mm long cuts that perhaps deviate every time of 90°.

the reliable machine time turns out I can only give the cam with inserted the cutting parameters.

there are specific software, which usually also make nesting of pieces, but of course they cost, an example is lantek.

on a plasma cut, especially on medium-high thicknesses where the speed is reduced, calculate the time as cutting length divided nominal speed is quite accurate, add the drilling time (if you do not have microjunctions is quite easy, you have a drilling for geometry) and you only miss the movements in fast, but on medium-high thicknesses are only a small share of the total.

the quickest solution is to calculate the total length of cutting from cad 2d, which is a semi-automatic operation as you have to sum all lengths.

alternatively you should build a softwarino, if you can export the length data and number of geometries from cad 2d does not take much, at the bottom it is just more than a sheet of automated excels
