Power Automation is a CNC-pioneer with more than 20 years of experience
in the field of PC-based CNC technology for machine tools. We are an
innovator in the CNC market bringing the latest technology to our customers.
As a very dynamic and flexible company with a highly skilled team we not
only provide the best CNC technology but also a very close and straight
forward cooperation. We understand ourselves not only as a supplier but
also as a partner to our customers.
The transformation of the machine tool building market is in massive up-
heaval and the development towards Industry 4.0 requires the use of new
technologies. Power Automation is optimally positioned for these require-
ments. The solution for the future is PC-based CNC technology or Soft-CNC;
a CNC control system that does not depend on its own hardware and is
ahead of hardware solutions due to openness and flexible applications.
Power Automation is currently the only provider worldwide who can offer
all processing technologies in the high-end sector with Soft-CNC.
Our job is our passion. And what moves us also characterizes our products:
precision, velocity, reliability.
Power Automation offers a turn-key solution for all kind of
waterjet cutting machines – from simple 2-axes applications to 3D
bevel cutting machines.
With our solution you get a perfectly suited package
of hard- and software – from one source!
The extensive software package consists of the fully integrated
state-of-the-art programming and operating software PA HMI,
a pre-programmed PLC-program and all dedicated CNC functions
which offer an efficient operation of your waterjet cutting machine.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS
• Marking
• Piercing functions
– Special ramping function for critical materials like glass, stone, ceramics …
• Plate determination (start position, angle and size)
– At every job start, a plate determination program can be executed
automatically if the machine is equipped with an appropriate sensor.
– Manually by setting the values
• Job list processing
– Nesting of different jobs on one sheet
– Repeat different jobs on different sheets
– Sheet change between jobs
• External laser pointer function for determining starting point
• Stop of NC process with the following options
– Moving backward on contour
– Consideration of abrasive and water and pressure on/off delays
(to avoid uncut lines)
– Automatic retract of Z-axis
– Manually move of the axes for service or maintenance
– Consideration of several safety issues during stop, like light-bars
– Continue automatically at last cutting position
– Switch on/off functions and change of cut parameters
• C2C (contour to contour) handling
• Consumables handling, like lifetime display etc.
• Job start at part or contour
– Selecting the part by touching on screen
– Selection by typing in of part number or contour number
– Continue at last cut contour
– Power loss recovery function with automatic start at last contour
• Pause/interrupt job to put another in between

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
WATERJET CUTTING
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
• Advanced ramping for waterjet
The special dynamic ramp ramps down the speed corners, arcs and circles to
compensate the deviation of the jet to get a straight cut. Depending on the
CAD/CAM system. PA recommends to use PA CUT.
• Cutter compensation look ahead
Cutter compensation look ahead is an extension of the standard cutter
compensation. Multiple blocks (standard values: 10, 25, 100) can be looked at
in advance to detect and avoid collisions. Different adjustments are possible
for reaction to the detection of a collision: e. g. generate a message but keep
executing, take a shortcut to avoid contour damage. Cutter compensation
look ahead can also execute NC programs with dummy blocks (blocks without
movement information) which normally only works in special cases.
• Distance regulation
There are different ways to make the distance regulation:
– By Tip-Touch to find height by PLC
– Different touching devices such as pneumatic cylinder, analog sensor etc.
are possible
– Tip touch can be done only once, at start of every contour or with time interval
– Permanent distance regulation by ring with analog sensor controlled by CNC
• Refill units for abrasive, means if small tank on the machine turns to run empty
the sand is loaded from the big storage tank.
• Water tank cleaning logic and water level regulation logic
• Different working areas for cutting and loading/unloading at the same time
• Data output of cutting parameters such as cutting time, no. of parts etc.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
WATERJET CUTTING
• Surface height compensation
– With the surface height compensation function, the plate can be measured by
a touching device to get the height compensation values at different positions.
The CNC is automatically compensating the Z-axis by these values.
• Bevel functions
– Beveling is available either with loops – by turning the angle outside the
con tour or without loops – by preturning the angle on the contour.
Power Automation offers a transformation especially for corners which allows
to cut corners precisely without stopping.
– PA has extensive measuring functions to measure the 3D head.
– Also Power Automation offers a measuring device to automatically
measure the 3D head after first installation or after collision.
• Multiple heads
– Multiple heads can be realized
– There can be heads on the same axis or independently moved heads
– Also multiple bevel heads are possible
– Different combinations e. g. waterjet + drilling spindle are possible
• Multiple bridges
– Multiple bridges can be realized by multiple CNC channels
PA SOFTWARE
FASTER. MORE OPEN. MORE INNOVATIVE.
PA HMI
THE OPEN USER INTERFACE
The HMI for waterjet cutting offers all
relevant functions for an easy and efficient
operation of your waterjet cutting machine. It
can be very easily and flexibly customised and
updated to meet the needs of the user. With the
latest QT4 technology, the PA HMI is not only
graphically very attractive but also very
powerful.
PA CUT
PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING SOFTWARE
PA CUT is a programming and operating soft-
ware for cutting machines and can be integ-
rated optionally into the PA CNCs. It offers a
wide range of functions like plate management,
pre-programmed macro shapes, bridge cutting,
bevelling etc. and is easy to operate. More than
11 different languages are available.
PA SOFT-PLC
IEC61131-3 CODESYS®
The turn-key solution comes with a pre-pro-
grammed PLC which features all the functio-
nality needed for a standard waterjet cutting
machine such as start and stop handling, drive
handling, error message handling and security
functions. Most of the interfaces for common
high-pressure pumps and height control units
are already included. That makes the integration
as easy as possible.

COMPILE-CYCLES
IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER TO
INTEGRATE OWN MACHINE
EXPERTISE INTO THE CNC!
The PA compile-cycles allow you to
integrate your own routines using
DLLs into the real-time kernel of
the PA CNC. Unlike other CNC ma-
nufacturers, you need not share
your knowhow but operate inde-
pendently. You do not even need a
special development environment
as PA compile-cycles are written in
the programming language C.
