Power Nesting by WiCAM in use at Ferrotec

Ferrotec GmbH, based in south-west Germany near Karlsruhe, is an established, second-generation production company specialising in precision sheet metal processing in mechanical engineering.

With extensive expertise in design and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes – including laser cutting, punching, bending, welding and assembly – Ferrotec produces both simple and highly complex components for a wide range of applications.

Ferrotec GmbH has been using the PN4000 programming system from WiCAM since its foundation and decided to invest in the next nesting generation, the PN4000 power nesting module, in 2023.

How much material was saved with the Power Nesting module from WiCAM?

When asked how much material is saved by the new Power Nesting module, Mr Aghdiri, Managing Director of Ferrotec GmbH, replies: ‘When I first saw how effectively the Power Nester can save material through its advanced geometric nesting functions – possibilities that our previous solutions did not offer – I was immediately convinced of the potential. A year after integrating the module into our processes, it is clear that while the material savings are impressive, the real benefit lies in the time savings. The new nester works much faster than our previous systems, which significantly increases our efficiency and has quickly amortised the investment.’

With the PN4000 programming system and the Power Nesting add-on module, Ferrotec GmbH is ideally positioned to meet future challenges. By combining technological innovation and flexibility, PN4000 offers exactly the solution that Ferrotec needs for the future.

Conclusion

Compared to many other software manufacturers, WiCAM not only offers optimized nesting, but also the option of controlling your production directly from your ERP system – regardless of the manufacturer. Regardless of whether you have a Trumpf TruLaser, Bystronic laser system, LVD laser system or other CNC machines – with WiCAM you can control all manufacturers. The return on investment (ROI) for the power nesting routine is usually less than 6 months. This is analysed in advance by WiCAM in an online demo. After the demo, all customers have the opportunity to test the routine with their own parts for one month free of charge, provided they have the latest version of PN4000.
