Hypertherm announces release of Rotary Tube Pro 3, a major version update of its tube and pipe cutting software

Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, today announced the release of Rotary Tube Pro™ 3, a major version update of its tube and pipe cutting software for machines with a rotary axis. This new release contains new features and enhancements making it easy to design and cut tube parts. These features include:

• Common line cutting which allows operators to cut two or more parts so that they share at least one common line with one another. This provides greater material utilization and better consumable life.
• Costing for parts, nests, and jobs to include factors such as consumable wear, machine operating cost, labor costs, electricity, etc
• Auto-select of material so operators can enter basic material descriptions in settings and automatically map to available materials. With this feature, operators no longer need to separately pick a material and thickness once a tube size and wall thickness is selected.

“With Rotary Tube Pro 3 we’ve responded to our customer base with features and enhancements that we believe take a big step forward,” explained Steve Bertken, Product Manager for Hypertherm CAD/CAM software products. “With common line cutting, users now have the ability to completely eliminate scrap between parts, potentially reducing their material costs and achieving better overall efficiency.”

Customers with an active maintenance plan can upgrade to the new version at no additional charge and continue to receive unlimited technical support and other benefits. Learn more about Hypertherm CAD/CAM software at www.hypertherm.com/CAM.
