This is less work-intensive and more flexible than the traditional system of always allocating a multi-tool to a station.”Īccording to the company, the combination of enhancements in Radan 2013 provides greater automation while still giving the user manual options if required. For example, a configuration for a Trumpf machine will have the definitions “the shape and number of stations “of all multi-tools the customer may purchase for their machine tool, without allocating it to a tool station at that time. “In Radan 2013 multi-tool configurations are deployed by taking the ‘variable (to buy)’ for the machine tool in question.

“We take the principle that a multi-tool is a tool, not a turret, which has implications as to how multi-tools are deployed by Radan and configured and manipulated by users,” said Chris Aston, general manager for Radan.

Vero Software has announced the 2013 release of its Radan CAD/CAM software, which includes improved support for multi-tools.
