Polar unveils latest version of Compucut

Polar has released the latest version of Compucut, an automated cutting program creation system that has been established in the industry for over 30 years.  

This new version makes programming cutting programs outside of the high-speed cutter easier and efficient by completely eliminating programming time on the machine. 

Compucut enables users to automatically create cutting programs from the CIP 3/4 pre-press files with just one mouse click and transfer them directly to a Polar high-speed cutter. For users, this means zero set-up time at the machine and a significant reduction in waste, the company reported. 

Compucut offers a configurable user interface that enables the guided creation of cutting programs. The programs can be created according to a recommended or self-selected cutting sequence, whereby all additional functions of the machine are automatically taken into account and programmed. In addition, the cutting programs can be transferred to several machines, which further increases flexibility and efficiency. 

An external program storage system (ESPV) is available for external cutting program management. The new version also offers the option of real image display (N PRO only) and a graphic display of the sheet (optional for N PLUS). The process visualization of the cutting sequence (optional for N Plus) ensures that operation of the high-speed cutter is intuitive and simple for every user. 

The programming time on the high-speed cutter is completely eliminated, which leads to a considerable increase in productivity. In most cases, the company claims that the amortization time is less than half a year, while the error rate is significantly reduced. Programs with process visualization make the high-speed cutter operable for everyone.
