Nester™
Nester™ is a proprietary part nesting program, which allows the operator to manually group or nest
selected parts together as one part program to conserve raw materials and maximize machine
utilization. This nesting program is designed to maximize the control features of graphical user
interface, simplified keypad operation and advanced communications software to provide quick,
simple and logical programming.
Additionally, an optional Automatic Nesting feature may be enabled to perform true shape, single
station, automatic nesting. With its advanced Graphical User Interface, ease of use and advanced
profile positioning algorithms, this Automatic Nesting feature can greatly improve the output of your
shape cutting operation by reducing overall process time and increasing plate utilization. Please
contact your control vendor for details on enabling this Automatic Nesting feature.
