Save with embedded CAM, Nesting
The software includes an advanced Embedded CAM, enabling effortless import of CAD drawings, nesting functionalities, and a comprehensive material database for fine-tuning cutting parameters, such as optimizing arc and corner speeds, along with many other powerful features. In most cases, it eliminates the need for costly additional CAM software.
Using Beckhoff as hardware platform
By leveraging the advanced German Beckhoff IPC as its hardware and core platform, ControNest has become one of the most powerful cutting machine controllers on the market.

Using Beckhoff Real-time software core TwinCat© 3, which is the base for any Beckhoff product making the software reliable and flexible.
Extremely reliable hardware controller which has been sold to over hundreds of thousands of applications.
Using the huge network of support offices worldwide will secure the customer's peace of mind of getting parts replacement and service.
EtherCAT
Exceptional Performance
EtherCAT is by most the largest and the fastest industrial Ethernet technology, but it also synchronizes with nanosecond accuracy. This is a huge benefit for all applications, in which the target system is controlled or measured via the bus system. The rapid reaction times work to reduce the wait times during the transitions between process steps, which significantly improves application efficiency.
Flexible Topology
In EtherCAT applications, the machine structure determines the network topology, not the other way around. In conventional Industrial Ethernet systems, there are limitations on how many switches and hubs can be cascaded, therefore limiting the overall network topology. Since EtherCAT doesn’t need hubs or switches, there are no such limitations. In short, EtherCAT is virtually limitless when it comes to network topology. Line, tree, star topologies, and any combinations thereof are possible with a nearly unlimited number of nodes.
Simplicity and Saving
By using ControNest on any Water jet / Laser machine, the involved used parts will dramatically decrease. It will also simplify the wiring by using a single EtherCat wire to wire control and IO. There will also be no wiring to connect dives together. Finally, using such a combination will reduce or even eliminate the need for a machine cabinet.
Simpler I/O
Input and output modules offer unlimited extension, accommodating all necessary module types, including high power,
DC drives, relays, solid-state relays, and analog I/Os. This versatility eliminates the need for additional electrical components such as relays,
abrasive motor drivers, proportional valve drivers, and more.
