  1. PANOGEN Presented by CIMPA PANOGEN V5 General presentation

  2. PANOGEN – Description • PANOGEN is a set of dedicated tools, intended to assist the different steps of manufacture of sheet metal parts. These tools allow : • To prepare and to program elementary parts from Catia V5 parts • To create the nests and optimize the manufacturing files • To produce the NC code • This solution is designed to be used for contour following cutting machines. The following cutting technologies are taken into account : • Laser • Water jet • Ultra sonic and electronic cutter • Milling • Environment • Windows NT

  3. PANOGEN –Main features • Part programming • Input: A sheet metal Catpart document • Automatic tasks: • Contours recognition • Manufacturing operations (drilling, contour profiling, pocketing) • Interactive work: • Lugs insertion • Markings insertion • Manufacturing simulation • Output: A PANOGEN part file

  4. PANOGEN –Main features • Production management • Creation of nesting jobs through easy to use GUI • User interface compliant with the Microsoft standards: • Ergonomic GUI • Customisation of the working environment • Ability to create and process a schedule of parts of different materials • Increase production flexibility • Link with an ERP system

  5. PANOGEN –Main features • Automatic nesting • Optimisation of the nesting to save material • Respect of the manufacturing constraints • A powerful nesting engine • High Speed of Operation • True shape nesting • Exact distance nesting • Multi-part nesting • Common edge nesting • Preferential hole filling • Nesting on rectangular and non-rectangular sheet

  6. PANOGEN –Main features • Post-processing • Dedicated post-processor to fit the customer requirements • Optimisation of the NC code

  7. Roles of tools • PAN-SETUP :Administrative tool to adapt the software with the requirements of your cutting machine. • PAN-PRG for sheet metal (CATIA v5 workbench) :Catia V5 integrated tool to create easily the manufacturing program of a sheet metal part (creation of PANOGEN part file ) • PAN-NCVERIFY :Verification and simulation of PANOGEN part files. • PAN-NESTORDER :Production management tool to create nesting jobs. • PAN-NESTING (batch) :Automatic nesting optimizer to maximise material utilisation (creation of PANOGEN nest file) • PAN-NESTEDIT :Edition and visualisation of PANOGEN nest files • PAN-PP :Post-processing (generation of NC files)

  11. Terminology Part file (.pie) File containing all nesting data of a part. This file is generated by the programmer from CATIA V5. Nest file (.pan) File defining a sheet metal plate or a composite roll and the parts nested inside. This file is generated automatically by PAN-NESTING or manually by PAN-NESTEDIT. Code Matière Société (CMS) identification number of the material (sized of sheet steel, ribbon of composite), that will be used as nesting support. Nesting Nesting of parts in a support to optimize the material usage. Train (.train) File defining a suite of supports coming from the same job files and generated by a nesting order. Job files (.job ou .sji) List of orders of a same material to be nested together. The format can vary according to the system of management of workshop used. Order Entity of management defining for a part, a quantity to be produced and its priority. Planning (.pla) File defining several nesting orders of different materials and their associated parameters. Port-Processor (PP) Tool to convert a Nest file to a NC file (ISO file) Rivets for skeleton Rivets to maintain the pile of sheets, inserted into the support around parts / along the support. All files mentioned here are ASCII files
