An ideal companion for your JETCAM Expert nesting software.
JETCAM Orders Controller Premium (JOC Premium) simplifies and automates the creation of orders for single plies or complex kits (assemblies) for use with JETCAM Expert.
Available in two versions for composite users - Premium and Premium Automation, JOC Premium offers a powerful way to completely automate the process of CAD import and nesting. JOC Premium Automation takes this further by harnessing JETCAM Expert's RCP functionality to fully automate the CAD import and nesting process for multiple machines and materials.
Work smarter, not harder with just a few of JOC Premium's many time-saving features:
CAD import, with CSV & DXF Splitting
Easily import any supported CAD format (inc. CATIA (XML), SolidEdge, SolidWorks and AutoDesk), with support for PPI data. One click sends all parts to JETCAM for automatic geometry creation and tooling for your selected machine, with multi-profile CAD filtering built in as standard.
Supports multiple JETCAM Expert seats
Use one license of JOC Premium to control multiple JETCAM Expert licenses. Send CAD files to one system to create geometry files while nesting on another.
Assembly management with revision control
Ensure that you always use the latest revision of a ply. Easily create complex kit assembly structures, either through drag and drop or one-click using directory structures. CAD import can also create assemblies automatically!
Drag and drop ordering to unlimited worklists
JOC Premium allows you to create unlimited worklists - perhaps for each operator, machine or shift. Drag and drop plies or complex assemblies onto a worklist, or automatically create and populate worklists with CSV import.
Find which nests contain one or more ply
Select one or more ply and immediately see which nests any or all plies appear in. Double click the nest in the left pane to automatically open the nest in the nest view, ready to view cost information, open in Explorer, JETCAM or export to CSV.
Costings for plies on one or more selected nests
On the nest screen an overall cost is show to the right of each nest. Selecting multiple nests gives you an overall total, and on the order costs tab you can see the individual and total costs of each ply, even if quantities span multiple nests.
One-click splitting of DXF nests
JOC can import an entire DXF nest, split it using user-definable profiles to ignore layers etc Individual entity files can be named based on text within the ply shape, with nests containing dozens or hundreds of plies being split in seconds.
Comprehensive Nests Batch Report
Select multiple nests and get a comprehensive merged batch report detailing material stock, components and nests, with detailed colour-coded images and information about each nest, allowing you to quickly identify parts.
Complex assemblies with full revision control can easily be created using the drag and drop interface or with one click using the directory structure. JOC Premium reads JETCAM Expert’s material databases and also allows you to store material and scrap costs for costing, which is used to display instant nest costs.
JOC Premium’s strength is in its data exchange capabilities. CAD import supports all file formats that JETCAM Expert supports (including SolidEdge, SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.), and also allows you to import a CSV list containing CAD file paths and additional PPI data. CSV order import is also supported, providing instant creation of unlimited, fully populated order lists, allowing for tight integration to legacy data systems such as MRP. Once nested, JOC Premium’s nest screen provides one-click CSV export of nest data to complete the loop.
You can quickly identify any or all nests that contain one or more components. Parametric programs can be edited, and automatic parametric ‘DO’ files can be easily created. By storing machine, operator and material costs JOC Premium also provides instant cost per nest.
