INTRODUCTION

MagicTool is a specially designed CAD/CAM solution that automates cutting machine programming such as and water jet.

It is the result of over 30 years of Taglio experience in close collaboration with cnc machine manufacturers and users.

MagicTool fully adapts to the technology of each different machine as well as the customer’s programming and management needs.
Nesting

This system provides a perfect combination of automatic, semi-automatic, and manual nesting, which provides great flexibility and optimum performance.

The combination of automatic nesting, along with manual nesting functions like copy, moving, and rotating, proves to be a very powerful tool.

MagicTool automatic nesting optimizes part arrangement on the plate for maximum utilization of parts and remnants. MagicTool automatically detects remnants in the database and allows users to prioritize their use prior to using a new sheet. The collision detection system avoids infeasible cutting plans.

Users can work with single slabs or working orders containing multiple slabs. A specific plug-in is helpful to read the work orders generated through Intarsio.
Technologies

MagicTool allows tables to be configured via material/thickness to define separation between parts and lead-in/lead-outs for different types of contours and dependent on material/thickness and cutting quality.

It is possible to common cut between different parts or limit to pairs of parts with micro-joints and pre-cuts. The system detects any errors in the design and machining and is completely automated.

All MagicTool options are included in a single program. Within the same program environment, the user can: design or import a part, consult the plate database, execute cutting sequences, generate CNC programs, and calculate time and costs.
Water jet technology

MagicTool provides water jet technology tables for each machine, speed reduction in corners, special piercing, and multi-head management, all taking into account the unique characteristics of cutting with water jet technology.

The key benefits include automatic acceleration/deceleration programming, stack cutting capabilities, and an optimal use of consumables through pierce reduction.
Technical characteristics

MagicTool is designed to connect to external ERPs.

Other features of MagicTool Expert are:

Teamwork – the system can work autonomously or be installed as a part of a network. By using the floating license option, multiple users access the system.
Time and True Cost Calculations – MagicTool manages all the technology of the machine and calculates time and cost by piece and by sheet.
Parametrics Parts Library – The MagicTool has a wide library of parametric parts.
Open Database – The MagicTool database is open and enables the user to access it to find parts, manufacturing orders, plates, etc. by using criteria such as material, thickness, client, date, etc.
2D Design – Logotag is a highly efficient 2D CAD module especially created to design 2D plate parts. It includes functions for the automatic detection and correction on unclosed contours, shape recognition, geometry validation, and true-type font support.
Intelligent Import/Export – MagicTool may be linked to the major CAD systems on the market (DXF, DWG, DSTV, etc.) and may also use graphic files (JPEG, BMP, TIF, GIF, etc.).

Firmware version:
5.02
Changes:
• Adds support for 2-color printing. Any color other than black will be printed with the spot color. Halftoning is disabled in this mode. Images using 2-color printing should have limited grayscale (solid graphics are preferred). The spot color areas of the image print first. An image may be created in CMY or RGB colorspace.
• Adds support for mono-color printing with a 2-color ribbon. When a two-color ribbon is installed, selecting Print Image in Mono-color works correctly.
• Improves Windows 2000 color images with this release of the new Level 3 driver for Win2K/XP.
• Removes the RLE compression enable/disable option from the user interface; intelligent RLE is always enabled.
• Improves rendering performance; the new Level 3 driver renders images up to 10% faster than the old Level 2 driver.
• Fixes a slow print problem with USB connections (in the Advanced tab under Rimage Perfect Image PF properties, uncheck the Enable Advanced Printing Options checkbox).
• Always masks both the Inside Dimension (ID) and the Outside Dimension (OD). Image Masking is no longer a document property. Advanced users may modify the bitmap mask file to create features such as watermarking the image.

RMS OVERVIEW
2.1
The RMS system
The Siemens Remote Monitoring and Cont
rol system provides an easy to use and
highly reliable facility enabling the effi
cient monitoring and
management of a wide
range of “on street” equipment.
The advanced Windows
TM
based Instation allows operator
s to appreciate the status
of all monitored equipment at a glance us
ing a fully user customisable map based
display.
Equipment monitoring is performed by a
powerful 3U-sized Outstation Monitoring
and Control Unit (OMCU) t
hat can easily be fitted into most equipment housings.
Fault and status reporting is
via a PSTN or GSM network, allowing the most cost
effective communications infrastructure to be chosen on a site by site basis.
As well as monitoring applications the system
may be used for the remote control of
various equipment’s including Variable Me
ssage Signs. Direct interface to the
Siemens Sietag Reader also provides
an integrated bus and emergency vehicle
priority system, complete with detailed re
cording of travel times and events.
An additional option that can be provided
is the RMS DUSC (Dial Up Strategic
Control) system, which allows a series of
intersections to be controlled in a
synchronised manner. Strategic control is
implemented using the CLF (Cableless
Linking) principal, but with plans bei
ng prepared and downloaded from the Instation
and implemented in each OMCU.
As there is no need to hold the plans in the traffic
controller configuration, modification of
plan data, should the need arise, is very
simple. Realising the plans
within the OMCU rather than th
e controller also has the
added benefit of avoiding the pot
ential for inconsistent plan execution because of
different controller CLF implementations.
Another additional option that can be provi
ded is sieClass (Vehicle Classification),
which allows vehicle classification by length into a maximum of 14 user specified
categories. The vehicle classification info
rmation is stored locally at the OMCU and
periodically uploaded to the instation where graphing utilities are provided to analyse
the data.
Gemini based Graphos Graphical Variable Message Signs (GVMS) are also
compatible with the RMS Instation. This
allows the RMS Instation to be used to
configure and monitor GVMS operation.
