Punch CAM
 Get off to a flying start with MetaCAM's capable tool inventory system, and the graphical turret layout editor. The intelligent auto-tool engine with customizable tooling patterns ensures you will seldom have to use interactive tool to tweak results.
The auto-tooler can pick tools from the tool inventory and create an optimal turret load. Wire joints can be placed automatically based on preset rules and joint tools are used to create clean-breaking tabs. Automatic repositioning and sequencing are integrated into a single-click command that prepares punch tooling for posting to NC code.
Benefits
 Intelligent AutoTooler customized for each user.
Automatic assignment of wirejoints, chutes and unloading operations.
Automatic Tool Path Optimization to improve machine performance.
Simulate NC code and visually check errors before running on the machine.
Graphical Turrets and Tool collection management.
Punch-Graphical Turret
 Graphical
Top Views or Standard Table Views that are color coded by Range of the
tools.
Drag and Drop support to add tools to a station
with easy access to mount angles for a station.
Support for Trumpf Style Linear Rail Type Turrets
with the corresponding station size for the Trumpf Tooling System.
Punch-Tool Library
 Standard
Tool Library with support for 34 standard shapes in addition to Custom
Tool capability from a DXF or CAD file.
Tool Libraries separated by Tooling Type and can
be put into individual Custom Tool Collections.
Auto Tooler can be set to work of a default Turret,
Tool Collection or Tool Library.
User can control Tool Attributes such as Tool
Name, Key Angles, Nibbling, Air blow and define specific Codes that need
to be output per tool.
Station Affinities can be defined to automatically
load tools to Predefined stations.
Multiple Die Clearances can be defined per tool
and user can add custom Stripper Footprints to Punch Tooling.
One click Auto Tooler that automatically assigns
tooling using the predefined metrics, settings and choices programmed
by the user.
Punch Inspector that facilitates easy edit of
tooling patterns, sequencing direction, finishing rules, nibble pitches.
Interactive and Manual Punching capabilities that
can quickly assign desired punching patterns to geometry while allowing
user to select Tools and Punch Patterns.
Easy replication of existing tooling using the
Move, Copy, Rotate and Flip features.
Punch-Automatic Finishing Rules
 Automatically
Assign Finishing rules such as Wire joints, Corner joints, Stops, Dwells
or Chutes.
Predefined Wire joints size and locations are
used to automatically tab parts during the tooling process.
Joints can be easily moved and deleted without
ever affecting the associated CAD.
Punch-Simulate Code
 Simulate
and view the Sequencing of the Tools, traverse lines, Clamps and Reposition.
Stop, Rewind, and zoom into parts of the sheet
to check tooling.
Click on tooling to shop you the corresponding
line of code or vice versa.
Simulation checks for Over travel, Clamp Interference
and duplicate punching Calculate Time Study for Parts and sheets that
can be used for Costing and Analysis.
