17 May 2006 - ESAB Group

ESAB Automation's COLUMBUS programming system was introduced to make profile cutting processes simple, efficient and cost-effective. Now, individual cutting and marking programs can be created even more quickly and easily with a new COLOMBUS nesting module. This enables material savings of up to 7 per cent to be made and, as a result, significantly less pallet handling requirements and lower unit costs.

With this new nesting system, can be used when undertaking plasma, oxygen or laser cutting. COLUMBUS is a flexible tool which enables the user to create NC cutting programs easily. It supports ESAB machines for all cutting and marking processes. It can be integrated in existing EDP structures easily, enabling, for example, quick import and export of existing parts lists, geometrical and calculation data.

Thanks to its modular design, COLUMBUS does not have to be purchased the complete package and specific software modules can be selected. In this way, the initial costs are reduced and the system can be adapted to changing requirements at any time. User friendliness of the programming system is exceptionally high, thanks to the attractive graphical design of the user interface with a clear arrangement and symbols which are largely self-explanatory.
