Watch a video showing plasma cutting with cncKad.

Plasma with Bevel: cncKad supports plasma machines with a 5-axes bevel head,
including 3D simulation of the machine and the part.

cncKad is a fully featured programming solution for flame cutting machines. Cutting with flame machines can be as easy as clicking your mouse especially for very thick material.

Flame-oriented features include multi-head support, bridge cutting, chain cutting, and CCW/CW cutting directions.

Water cutting machines are easily operated and automated using the cncKad system.

Water-oriented features include bridge cutting, chain cutting, and CCW/CW cutting directions.

cncKad for punching combined with AutoNest is your best solution for manufacturing with punch machines.

cncKad for punching supports:

• Automatic tooling
• Automatic repositions for working range and clamp avoidance
• Automatic part handling:
  • MicroJoints
  • Chute
  • Pickup with vacuum
• Support for advanced tooling, including forming, tapping, wheels, marking, deburring
• Automatic common cuts

Parts processed with cncKad for punch + laser/plasma machines are automatically tooled and optimally nested.

AutoNest Pro gives the best nesting in the industry, while considering tooling and turrets and maximizing common cuts.

Shearing allows you to cut your sheet with scissors; i.e., with two blades positioned at a 90° angle. After cncKad processes your parts with internal shapes, chamfered entities, etc., you can shear your sheet:

• Choose between single hit and long cut, with or without clamp reposition.
• Shear horizontally or vertically, or allow cncKad to select the best option.
• Determine yourself the bin number for the scrap or part, or allow cncKad to deposit automatically the instances of your parts in a bin.

cncKad for coil + AutoNest is your best solution for manufacturing with coil punch and shear machines:

• cncKad supports automatic tooling, multiple cassette layouts, special tools, optimized double hits with both cassettes, and automatic common cuts.
• AutoNest gives the best nesting results in the industry, while maximizing common cuts. The software organizes the parts with identical lengths (or with a predefined length range) into slices/SubNests. Then it adjusts the slice length according to the parts’ lengths.

cncKad for routers + AutoNest is your best solution for manufacturing with routers:

• cncKad supports automatic tooling, multiple passes, multi-milling, various drilling tools, and automatic common-cuts.
• AutoNest gives the best nesting results in the industry, while maximizing common cuts.

cncKad for busbar together with AutoNest is your best solution for manufacturing with busbar machines:

• You can draw your part or choose a profile into our extensive library of busbar parts, and then add automatic tooling, part marking, and automatic common cuts.
• AutoNest will provide the most efficient nesting results for your busbar parts.

After cutting, our bending application MBend can generate a bending program for each part.
