RADAN Radtube

Multi-axis laser technology for tubular components

Radtube is part of a suite of software with facilities for designing geometrical models, importing models from external CAD systems and CNC part programming. With solutions for driving dedicated tube cutting machines tools as well as the rotary axis on flat bed lasers, Radtube is ideally placed to provide an affordable solution to the CNC part programming needs of engineering businesses of all sizes.

Radtube is an industry leading Laser CAD/CAM system for rotary and multi axis cutting machines developed specifically for tube cutting and manipulation industry. The intuitive programming system allows tubes or sections to be parametrically defined from a library of standard shapes into which cutting apertures and profiles can be defined.

By using Radtube, not only will programming time be minimised, but also the eventual cut-path will be far more efficient, saving further time on the machine. Add in the comprehensive simulation and proofing tools and you have a system that streamlines day-to-day production, reduces costly errors and eradicates the need for dry-runs.

Features at a glance:

• Intuitive graphical user interface
