Pathfinder 2.0 Now Available

9/22/2011 8:19:16 AM

AMS Controls is proud to announce the release of Pathfinder 2.0, the second generation of our innovative folding machine control software. This update will give your controls better responsiveness and speed as well as improve automatic bend sequencing and user experience.

Specifically, Pathfinder 2.0 provides the following improvements:

Enhanced SmartPath™ Automatic Sequencing – Automatic sequencing is now faster and provides even better solutions than before. Users can customize how SmartPath works to ensure ideal bend sequences, like preferring outside hems first or avoiding flips or rotates. Partial bends are also available, creating even better solutions than in previous versions.
Increased Performance – Pathfinder is now faster and more responsive, making profile creation even more efficient.
Hard Steel Solutions – Working with hard steels can be a challenge on many machines. Operators often have to use special techniques to get good parts and this has kept some customers from taking full advantage of graphic machine controls. Now with Pathfinder, you can program parts graphically and run the machine exactly the way you want.
More Supported Folding Machines – The list of folding machines supported by Pathfinder continues to grow. Please contact Support to see if Pathfinder is compatible with a specific folding machine.
Simplified User Interface – Pathfinder’s enhanced user interface makes it even easier to create, edit and search for profiles.

Upgrading to the newest version of Pathfinder is free of charge until October 1, 2012, with no maintenance fees. After this date, maintenance contract rates will apply.

To update to Pathfinder 2.0, contact AMS Technical Support at support@amscontrols.com. Our Support Coordinator will respond to you as quickly as possible.
