PST Waterjet Operating Software - Standard
This software executes G code cut files input from the Post Processing software.   All decisions are accounted for within the G code file to include – cut / corning speeds, auto piercing, type of lead-in.   The operator simply loads material, inputs cut file and pushes the start button.   Actual cutting functions can be operator monitored to include - specific line of code executed, x & y positioning, and color designated tool paths.   The operator can simply change cut speeds on the fly, pause cutting or run in reverse.   Even has the ability to automatically execute in sequence multiple (jobs) cut files providing independent soft home locations.

PST Post Processing Software - Standard
The sole purpose of the post processing software package is to transform a drawing file ( CAD, DWG, DXF) to a water jet cut ready file  (G code).   PST Post Processing software is included standard with each  waterjet system.  The popular features as listed below will satisfy the majority of users.    For more complex and automated cutting requirements PST  also offers Lantek software.
•
Generate tool paths.
•
Calculates kerf width (inside, outside & center).
•
Lead in/Lead out (Automatic placement, several styles).
•
Spiral Piercing and pressure control.
•
Corner ramping.
•
Import DXF files.
•
Tabbed parts.
•
Manual Nesting.
•
Array parts.
•
Preview/edit generated GCode.
•
Simulation mode.
Advanced Post Processing Software - Optional
Lantek software can be purchased as an option for advanced waterjet users having complex
cutting requirements. The PST waterjet operating software is fully compatible with Lantek,
users can upgrade if and as needed. The Lantek company has twenty five years of experience
with a staff of 160 employees dedicated to perfecting this software. Many users may only use
