Unlike Polar’s standard Compucut program, the GO version works solely in automatic mode
To eliminate guillotine programming time, Polar has created Compucut GO software which automatically converts digital sheet layout into a cutting program, which is then transferred to a Polar cutting machine.
Compucut GO is an additional version of Polar’s Compucut workflow software. Both versions are based on identical cutting rules, but Compucut GO is reduced to the basics and the software does not even need to be installed, as it runs on the medium which is installed on a computer. The PC is integrated into the network and connects the prepress stage to the guillotine type cutter.
At the prepress stage, the digital sheet layout is stored as a PPF or JDF file. This file is then placed into the Hot Folder which is regularly checked by Compucut GO. Every time the software detects a new file, it starts processing it right away. Based on a strictly defined sequence of initial cuts it sets up the cutting program and sends it immediately to the memory of the machine. In contrast to the standard Compucut program, the GO version works solely in automatic mode, with no need for manual intervention.
The new Compucut version is available for all of the Polar D Plus cutting machines and Polar N Plus high-speed cutters. The software will be delivered from December 2017.
