GM System, specialist in CAD/CAM solutions, represents Alma in Poland

Backed by a strong technical knowledge and dedicated to service quality, GM System has been distributing Alma products in Poland for 2 years. Let’s focus on this dynamic company based in Wroclaw and on the fast growing polish sheet metal market.

Three cutting technologies, a single software in the Marchesini Group

The Marchesini Group is a cutting edge company supplying complete lines and machines for packaging. The act/cut software developed by Alma is the one single system for programming machines used in their plants, whatever the cutting technology. While being connected to the Baan management system, act/cut drives simultaneously laser, waterjet and routing machines.

At Trane, offline programming boosts robotized welding and plasma cutting

Trane, world leader in air conditioning systems and refrigeration, adopted robotized welding in 2004, wagering on Alma's offline programming software to maximize the robot efficiency. Trane wanted to cover two goals: improve the productivity of its tubular exchangers production line in the Charmes plant in France and solve a triple-sided issue of workload fluctuations, personnel qualification and production quality. Drawing on this blooming integration, a robotized plasma cutting installation, also driven by alma's solutions is successfully commissioned two years later.
