’s ProCAM and ProCAM Lite software suites are designed for HGG profiling machines. Designed in-house, the software synthesizes HGG’s 3D profiling knowledge it into a software system designed to maximize throughput and material usage.
The ProCAM suite features:
- ProCAD provides direct connection to and from several leading CAD/CAM companies including Tekla Structures, SDS/2, AutoCAD, SolidWorks Inventor, Bocad and more.
- ProGRAM gives users the ability to design parts with HGG’s extensive predefined macro shape library.
- ProMIS is a management information system that uses real-time machine data to create reports on cutting performance, processing speeds and productivity.
- Advanced nesting algorithms enable users to maximize material usage and minimize waste.
- Stock Manager enables users to manage stock material and use available material for nesting.
- Stock Manager can be combined with the label printer and scanner option to enable track-and-trace functionality. Operators can simply scan the material loaded on the machine and it automatically loads the correct cutting data.
HGG has partnered with several industry CAD/CAM companies to ensure seamless integration and transfer of data from design through data processing to machine. HGG recently partnered with SDS/2 to create a plugin that directly links to ProCAM. The plugin enables direct definition of cutting information in the SDS/2 CAD model, including detection of holes and pipe notches.
ProCAM Lite is a free software program that gives users the ability to view and check cutting details on various profiles without a cutting machine or intermediary viewing software. Users can review all parameters and weld details for a project before cutting and production, including root openings and markings, for any DSTV, NC, XML or PCD file.
