Rotary Tube Pro Tube Cutting Software

Benefits

Machine manufacturers choose Rotary Tube Pro

Leading industry experts, including machine manufacturers, distributors, and system integrators, choose to offer Rotary Tube Pro to their customers for use on their tube and pipe cutters. These experts recognize this software has the process expertise to match the power and capabilities of today’s most advanced machinery. This is true for plasma tube cutters as well.

Breakthrough technologies

Rotary Tube Pro is the only rotary software that provides full support for Hypertherm’s SureCut™ technologies, including True Hole^® and bevel cut charts based on True Bevel™ technology making it an excellent choice for plasma tube and pipe cutters.

Ease of use

Import files from 3D CAD or use the parametric input to easily create tubes and branches with no 3D CAD experience required.

Automatic tube and pipe nesting

Efficiently place multiple parts on a single piece of stock tube or pipe.

Unlimited technical support

Unlimited access to technical support, training, and software updates is included with your purchase.

Rotary Bevel Interface

For users operating a cutting machine equipped with a programmable bevel head, the Rotary Bevel Interface provides a seamless solution for creating the desired NC output. It generates a 3D model with true intersecting branch angles and end cuts. The module allows for weld prep cuts to be added, and supports output of multi-axis, machine specific, bevel code. (Requires one Rotary Bevel Machine Post Processor.)
