CNC Punch Software Development & Postprocessor Modification

We are looking for an experienced CNC Punch software developer to modify and improve our existing CNC Punch programming software and postprocessor.

Machine Information

- CNC Punch Press: LVD

- CNC Controller: ADTECH

- 20 turret stations

- Auto-index stations

- Existing software: NibblePro

- The machine is already retrofitted and operational.

Required Work

1. Auto-Index Optimization

- Optimize the Auto-Index toolpath.

- When several cutting lines have the same required angle, the software should process them together without unnecessarily changing the tool angle multiple times.

- The objective is to reduce machining time and unnecessary Auto-Index movements.

2. Micro-Joint Function

- Improve the Micro-Joint function.

- Preferably provide the ability to manually add/remove Micro-Joints.

- Adding a Micro-Joint to a new line should not unnecessarily change the number or position of existing Micro-Joints.

- The function should also work correctly with short/small cutting lines where applicable.

3. Postprocessor / CNC Program Output

- Modify the NibblePro postprocessor to generate CNC programs compatible with our ADTECH-controlled LVD CNC Punch.

- Maintain correct tool selection, coordinates, repositioning, Auto-Index angles and machine commands.

- Existing working programs and machine parameters will be provided as references.

4. Repositioning and Clamp Logic

- Review and correct the repositioning logic and CNC output related to sheet repositioning and clamps.

- The generated program must maintain the correct sequence for repositioning and punching.

5. Testing and Final Verification

- Test the modified software/postprocessor using sample SolidWorks/CAD drawings and existing CNC programs.

- Verify the generated CNC code on our machine.

- Fix any issues directly related to the agreed modifications.
