Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the complete solution package from ProCom Automation include?

  As a ProCom Automation customer, you receive a complete solution package comprising the following components:

  • CNC300PRO in the preferred configuration (i3, i5, or i7)
  • CNC300 software solution package, consisting of ergoCNC® and ergoCAM® with the latest release version for textile cutting
  • Drive Technology from leading manufacturers
  • Interface to the IIoT production monitoring platform Clouver for analysing your machine data

  The software solution for textile cutting (cutter software) is available in three variants: Essential package, Professional package, and Premium package, which you can choose based on your requirements. Feel free to contact our experts for further, comprehensive advice.

• Is there a suitable CAM solution?

  Naturally! The CAM solution from ProCom Automation is part of your complete solution package. The ergoCAM® software forms a unified system with the ergoCNC® software, ensuring a seamless transition between your work preparation and the cutting process. For more detailed information, consult our experts who will happily provide comprehensive advice.

• Does ProCom Automation's solution have an automatic nesting function?

  There is an option to expand the ergoCAM® software to enable automatic nesting. For more detailed information, consult our experts who will provide comprehensive advice.

• Is there suitable drive technology?

  Certainly! Suitable drive technology for the control solution is also part of your complete solution package. We have been working with leading manufacturers for many years, providing you with reliable and robust drive technology for smooth and precise movements.

• Can I operate the user interface with touch functionality?

  Yes, the user interface of our cutter software is optimised for operation with a touch display. All functions and settings are designed to be quickly and intuitively executed with touch control. Of course, operation with a mouse and keyboard is also possible. We recommend using a touchscreen of suitable size as a control terminal, as it makes operation easier and more time-efficient.

• Is it possible to have individual functions programmed?

  If a function you need is not already included in the standard features of our solution, we are happy to explore the possibility of individual function extensions. Feel free to contact our experts for comprehensive advice.

• How long does commissioning take?

  Based on our experience, we estimate that initial commissioning of your machine in collaboration with your machine experts and our control experts, being pre-coordinated and well-prepared on both sides, can be successfully completed within 2-3 weeks at your facility.

• What support do I receive during commissioning?

  You will receive personal support from ProCom Automation experts on-site for the commissioning of the first pilot machine. This includes step-by-step checks of all motors, aggregates, sensors, and actuators, as well as the configuration and commissioning of their associated functions. Our experts on-site will perform the configuration and commissioning of all participants in the EtherCAT communication bus, the creation of the necessary complete EtherCAT configuration files, the required detailed parametrisation of all associated CNC parameters for the coordinated contour machining movements of all machine axes, as well as the control of all other tools and aggregates (vacuum control, extraction, material transport, etc.) for the pilot machine.

  Our experts will accompany the fine-tuning and optimisation of the drive components and axis control loops, as well as the securing of the determined parameter files.

  Additional serial machines will be set up and commissioned based on the parameter and configuration files created during the pilot machine project.

• What are the prerequisites for serial production?

  The CNC300PRO control solution is a mature and much-used solution in many facilities globally.

  Once the necessary mechanical and electrical components, as well as the parametrisation and configuration of the CNC control, all I/O modules, and the drive components tailored to the respective machine, are set up and fine-tuned for a pilot machine, subsequent new machine installations will require only a minimal amount of time.

  Additional serial machines will be set up and commissioned based on the parameter and configuration files created during the pilot machine project.
