Sheet metal and fabrication
Kabaido reads cutting lists line by line, nests plasma parts on real sheets and remnants and posts the cut file.
The plasma Nest and cut queue: 18 parts outstanding on order CUT-2, across 3 lines of one material and thickness.
The whole group goes to the nest: 18 parts.
Demonstration data
The work it does
Fabrication enquiries arrive as cutting lists and DXF packs, typed the way the shop talks, rarely with part numbers.
A DXF pack, two processes
bracket, 3mm CR4, 120 off, laser cut; gusset, 6mm S275JR, 40 off, plasma cut; all to EN ISO 2768-m
- Preset
- Plate profiling and cutting
- Runs
- Sales Engineer, then the Arcline machine module for the plasma part
- Outcome
- Grade, thickness, process and tolerance per line; the plasma part nests in Arcline on real sheets.
A structural cutting list
6 off UB 203 x 133 x 25 at 6000 long; hot dip galvanised; EN 1090 EXC2
- Preset
- Materials and stock
- Runs
- Sales Engineer, reading against the Materials and stock schema
- Outcome
- Section and length read as written; the galvanising and EXC2 carried onto each line.
A new part with no drawing
New one, no drawing yet: a simple tray, 3mm, around 40 off, folded on all four sides
- Preset
- Plate profiling and cutting
- Runs
- Sales Engineer read
- Outcome
- 'Around 40 off' is not a quantity, so it is asked, with the drawing and material.

The products it uses most
- Sales EngineerSales Engineer answers the technical customer request, from the enquiry arriving to the quote or order going back.
- MachinistMachinist runs the floor and tells you what the job cost.
- StockStock keeps one true quantity for everything you hold, wherever it is.
Not for: The forming and welding after the cut: Arcline takes a job to the cut file and the offcut, not through the brake and the bay.
Questions
- Yes. Arcline nests true shape onto the real sheets and banked remnants you hold, and books the offcuts back into stock.More on Arcline plasma
- Yes. Arcline posts G-code and DXF for your controller and simulates the cut first.More on Arcline plasma
- Yes. Each line is read into section, grade and length, and a sentence that scopes the job qualifies the lines instead of becoming one.
- No. Setup adds the plasma table as a station with no bed geometry, rate or key; you enter what only the shop knows.
