Simco External Framing Solutions - Manufacturers of Powder Coated Roof and Cladding Trims

Software for our profiling is the latest version of Radan which includes RADPUNCH,
PANEL BUILDER, 2D & 3D modelling. All programs for all works are transferred direct to
our machines using DNC technology, this enables all programming problems to be overcome
in the office not on machines, so productivity is running at 100% to maintain our fast turnaround.

We can import 3d images into our software to develop flat profiles to cut down on engineering time.

Panelbuilder is used to optimise all calls of cladding panels so we can tell customers what panels are exactly needed, therefore cutting down on waste materials which will cut the costs to the customers.

Radpunch

Radpunch brings advanced punch press CNC programming to the Radan family. Combining sophisticated technology with unrivalled ease-of-use, Radpunch delivers maximum productivity for our engineering staff and machine tools.

Radpunch Benefits:

Maximise material utilisation with single part layout and automatic nesting
High productivity for engineers and machine tools
Reduced lead times
Increased production flexibility
Easily switch production from one machine tool to another
Support for our machines advanced features
Fully automatic tooling

Radan 3D

Radan 3D is a high performance and versatile 3D modelling package designed to make sheet metal design and engineering assembly modelling simple.

Radan 3D Benefits:

Specialised sheet metal assembly design
High reliability data import with optional geometry healing
Accurate automatic unfolding, even with imported models
Design errors eliminated
Flexible design changes including material thickness
Automatic, associative drawing elevations
Associative 2D dimensioning on drawing elevations and flat blanks
High productivity
An integrated component of Radan
User-defined bend allowances

Automatic Unfolding

Unfolding in Radan 3D is automatic and flexible. Capable of unfolding both designs created in Radan 3D and models imported from other systems, it makes flat blank development easy.

Unfolding parameters, such as bend allowances, can be controlled independently of the geometry, enabling an accurate development that is based on actual bending machines and tooling to be used in production. This leads to more accurate flat blanks, more accurate folding and ultimately, a higher quality product.

RadanbendCNC

RadbendCNC enables full accurate 3D-model simulation of the bending process, including advanced features such as automatic bend sequence calculation, automatic tool selection and automatic finger stop placement, offering simple programming and high productivity.

RadbendCNC benefits:

Helps eliminate costly errors with automatic collision detection
Read all industry standard 2D and 3D data
Single solutions for your sheet metal requirements
Ensure a "right first time" manufacturing approach
Graphically illustrated set-up sheet showing part details and the complete bending sequence
Increased pre-production information improves planning and estimating

Profiling

All profiles ie brackets/cleats are all manufactured in house using state of the art cnc turret press. All programmed using Radan software, all corner fabrications are also punched in flat form using 3D technology.

All vented profiles are also manufactured on CNC Turret Press up to 4M in length.

The AXYZ CNC router sytems can be configured with a host of options, such as the automatic tool changer, plasma head for machining steel and multiple heads to further enhance the machines capabilities and improve production speeds and accuracy.
