Advantages
ProMotion iControllers offer built-in productivity, providing numerous advantages to increase productivity and reduce costs over any other shape cutting control and plasma cutting control available today. Many of these advantages are listed below:

Bridging -- Saves Time & Consumables
Adding a bridge between to two or more parts reduces pierces while increasing production gain. See our testimonial and iReport from Tubular Frame, a customer realizing huge profits from using our Bridging Tool on their machine.

Scrap Cutting – Provides Quicker Clean Up & Saves Consumables
Reduces wasted operator time to cut up the skeleton. Operators simply add a scrap cutting line at the beginning of a cutting program to increase proficiency.

Pierce Point Location – Improves Cut Quality & Reduces Idle Time
With simple point-and-click, operators can change the location of the pierce point. Experienced operators know that by changing the location of the pierce point, you can often improve the cutting quality of the part.

Lead In/Out Modification – Optimizes Cut Quality at Pierce Points
Utilizes the operator’s experience to modify the type and /or length of lead in/out of a part or in a nest. Experienced operators can improve on a programmer’s assigned lead-in or lead-out because they understand how the material might move or improve the cut quality.

Suspend a Job – Provides Quick & Flexible Set Up
Enables operators to simply stop a current job and save it, allowing them to cut a hot job on another part of the table. Mission accomplished, operators can easily return to the saved job, picking up where they left off.

Speed Profile – Cuts Perfect Small Holes
Improves the quality of small holes by enabling operators to simply assign different feed rates for each profile. With it, operators can also build their own feed rate tables for specific plate thickness and quickly apply the table to a nest, assigning instant feed rates to holes and slots.

Auto Nesting on Remnants – Utilizes Existing Drops to Save Material
Simplifies nest creation on any remnant currently on the floor. Makes it easy for operators to use remnants first before starting a new sheet, which creates another remnant to keep track of

DXF Download – Enables Cutting Directly from CAD Generated Files
With a Built-in Post Processor, no other software is required to convert DXF downloads to cutting programs.

Micro CAD – Creates An Infinite Shape Library
The on-board Micro CAD allows simple editing of any program. Using the simple editing tools on the Micro CAD, operators can quickly create a new program from any existing program.

Laser Pointer – Provides Faster & More Precise Set Up
With ProMotion Controls Tool Locator software, standard on iCNC Controllers, it’s easy and accurate to add a laser pointer to locate corners of the plate for plate alignment, performing a teach of remnant plate or simply finding a starting point for a new job. Operators can count on the best utilization of material.

Camera Torch – Improves Set Up on Wider Machines
Adding a camera above a torch on larger gantry is possible because of the PC-based technology of the iCNC controller. No more wasted time for operators having to walk over to the other side to see if the torch is on the material. Simply turn on the camera and look at the iCNC.

Process Database – Enables Cut Quality Consistency
With our Processor Database you can build specific tables of cutting processes. For example, operators can set cutting speed, kerf, pierce time delay, etc. for each type of material and thicknesses. Once the Process Database is established, operators need only select type of material, thickness and tool, and all corresponding cutting processes will change accordingly. With this tool, every operator will cut each material and thickness with consistency.

Cost Calculator – Lets Operators See Cost Difference
Our standard iCNC Cost Calculator feature enables operators to calculate their true cost of cutting a single part or a nest. In addition, it shows the exact cutting time necessary to complete a job. This information can also be used to help produce customer quotes.

Fill The Plate – Gets Parts Out of Your Scrap
Take advantage of all usable space on nest. Automatically places small parts in the scrap
area and inside parts that are normally drops.

Torch Hold On Slowdown – Cuts Holes Slower without Changing Cutting Program
To maximize cut quality of small holes even more, operators can now manually turn down cut speed with confidence. With iCNC control intelligence, the controller automatically senses the moment when cutting speed has been temporarily slowed down from the initial program speed. It automatically freezes proper torch height.

Diagnostic Capabilities – Faster Trouble Shooting
The built in diagnostic allows looking at all of the inputs and outputs with the need of qualified technicians on site. With factory guidance over the telephone and using the diagnostic feature locating the problem can be quick and easy.

Advance Marking – Easier to Generate Text or Center Point for Marking
Quickly create a text on any cutting program to identify a part, or covert small holes (that can not be cut) on programs to center point marks. The center points marks can be used a drill marks to drill out the small hole that was originally programmed.

Auto Nesting on Variable Size Sheets -- Saves on Material Cost
Purchase odd size plates with no worries. Input the size of the sheet to ProMotion Nest software and it will optimize the best nest possible. Generally, odd size plates can cost less so why not take advantage of the lower cost.

Remote Trouble Shooting – Creates Virtual Service Technician
Using the web, ProMotion Controls personnel can easily diagnose your iCNC. We can trouble shoot or set up new parameters to improve your machine without the expense of sending a service technician, saving you time and money.

Open Architecture Technology – Expands Control Capability & Flexibility
With the dual processor design in the iCNC, one microprocessor is used for Windows. Therefore, the other processor can be used for additional software, i.e., CAD software.

Network Capability – Provides Paperless Order Processing
Have the option of sending programs to the iCNC using Ethernet or wirelesses devices. You can also communicate with machine operators using Microsoft Outlook email (standard in the iCNC) to advise what jobs to do or to inform operators that a job is completed. Reduced paperwork and less idle time are resulting benefits.
