Bevel Loops
Bevel cutting requires loops (fish tails) on sharp corners to give the cutting head enough time to change the bevel settings and add or remove torches from the cutting process. These loops can be added automatically by the system and also be removed if not desired in specific situations.

Adding these loops manually would be a time consuming and error prone process. NC-Pyros implements a smart algorithm that identifies corners that require loops automatically. The threshold parameter for generating loops and the loop type and size are user configurable.

Separate Leads for Inside, Outside Cuts & Overcuts
Inside and outside cuts often have different requirements when it comes to leads. Many processors like to use arc-type leads on inside cuts, while using straight leads on the outside. This can prevent the small points at the lead-in lead out location on inside cuts. However, often an "overcut" is required as well. NC-Pyros supports both automatically saving manual grinding hours and increasing product quality.

Error Detection & Correction
Correcting drawing errors automatically or warning of potential errors saves many man-hours and wasted plate material. All settings are user configurable in order to allow customization for various controller/burner configurations.
* Lead collision detection checks collisions of leads with parts, displays the leads that are at fault and offers the option to edit the lead to avoid the collision.
* Duplicate elements are automatically removed. This is a very common problem in CAD drawings, which can cause severe problems.
* Short element deletion with gap closing. Short elements are often inadvertently created during CAD trimming operations. NC-Pyros removes them automatically and closes the gap.
* Open tool path detection. Tool paths for cutting are generally supposed to be closed. NC-Pyros detects and warns of open shapes that cannot be automatically closed.
* Path reversing detection. Drawing elements might overlap slightly at corners before they are connected to a tool path. This can cause tiny "loops" at the corner, causing the burner to move suddenly into the part.
* Snapping of gaps: NC-Pyros connects entities with small gaps between them if the gap is smaller than the user set snap tolerance.
* Customized arc handling: set the maximum radius, minumum arc length, and define how to split circles and arcs that cross quadrant lines. NC-Pyros automatically corrects arcs to ensure cutting works flawlessly.
