LINEA5
- Legacy Software Updates. The following software products or versions are now in extended support only. The patches below are provided as a courtesy, and come with no.
- The prototyping flow initially involves assigning sheet metal attributes to 2D and 3D drawings and saving them in a database using AP100 EU and PRODUCTION DESIGNER. By uploading parts to VPSS 3i WELD, users can automatically manage the positions to weld on the piece, robot handling and the generation of the machine programme.
LINEA5 (CAM system) combines easy application functionality with advanced CNC programming for efficient utilization of punch presses and laser machines.
Processing technologies can be prepared manually or automatically. Travel paths and clamps are positioned automatically. The clearance checks between the parts, the sheet metal edge and the clamps are performed automatically during interactive nesting. The NC code can be simulated in full before actual production. The user can therefore benefit from the retained production know-how, and can count on the best possible utilization of their machine.
The LINEA5 CAM system also supports programming of loading and unloading systems for all AMADA punching machines, laser machine and combination machines.

We currently export a DXF file for our AP100 Amada software that works with our Amada lasers. What we are noticing is that whenever the dxf is brought into AP100, the dxf file comes in with a ton of small segments when dealing with a curve or ellipse. This causes the laser to have a ton of start.
The LINEA5 CAM system can be expanded with user defined macros. The CAM system is suitable as a stand-alone workstation, but can also be used as part of a network with several workstations and in a central CCDB server, where all material, cutting and tool information is stored.
The CAM system can optionally load special tools from the central AMADA AP100 SDD server, and store NC programs on this server. An additional option is a reverse post processor, which is used to reverse program LINEA5 technology from existing NC code.
Sheet layouts can be manually created via CSV import using existing technologies and drawings. LINEA5 CAM system programs coining operations, taps, engravings and foil patterns.
The part chute and reset can also be controlled very accurately. The parts can be sorted manually, as well as automatically in a sequential or random arrangement.
From the Drawing to the NC Program
Cutting parameters are automatically applied to any geometric shapes drawn with the built-in CAD application or imported in DXF, ICES or DWG formats. Automatic Nesting functions are also available for processed shapes, which can be subsequently sorted out according to the job sequence desired. This allows you t
- minimise job times
- check machining times
- change contact point and type with a simple 'click' of your mouse
- insert micro-joints
The Job Simulation function allows you to check the processed job before sending the NC program to the machine.
Simulation
An efficient graphics support allows you a high precision check on the job sequence before starting machining. With the most common punching machines, you can simulate any NC programs created directly on your CNC or made with other CAM systems.
Tool management
Beside standard management functions, specific tool management options are available f
- special tools of any shape;
- multi-tools or cluster- tools.
Each shape drawn is associated to the corresponding Tool Library. Several standard configurations can be stored in the Tool Library, which is particularly useful for the automatic machining of CAD geometric shapes.
Reverse Post Processor
Thanks to the Reverse Post Processor module, programs written in CNC language can be converted into graphics programs to allow editing, dimensioning and processing operations on different machines .
Ap100 Amada Program
Post Processor
PUNCH5 and CUT5 can suit several hundreds of different machines thanks to a programming language which takes full advantage of high-level functions, such as subprograms, storage accessible at different levels, etc ... External devices (uploading, downloading systems) can be handled as well.
Macros
Macros are now easier to customise: in this way, you will be able to group together several different actions in a single operation.
Interactive Nesting
This is the easiest way to nest any type of shape. Available option
- placing and dragging parts on a single sheet by using the mouse to optimise layout
- positioning parts with the mouse onto the scrap obtained from previous jobs
- automatic check for interference between parts, with clamps or with the panel edge
Common Cuttings
This special function can be used for the automatic processing of any geometric shapes copied several times on the same panel. Cutting job plans are worked out for each single part, including any common cutting options. You can also indicat
- the cutting direction (single or double direction)
- the best starting point for each cutting operation

Cutting Parameter Charts
Cutting parameters can be edited, depending on the type of machine and technology used, for any operations desired: piercing, film piercing, contact setting, cutting, film cutting, marking, chasing etc ...
