TubesT-H: The Solution for the Machining of H-Beams (FSCUT9200 System)
I. Overview
I-beam and H-steel are the most common tubular types in the steel structure industry.
For this industry, BOCHU has launched a five-in-one processing solution for shaped steel, among which the tube nesting software TubesT-H has been optimized for various personalized scenarios in the steel structure industry.

II. Foundational General Knowledge
Before starting the operation, please make sure you have read the 【What is TubesT?】 and understand the role of the nesting software in the entire processing flow, as well as the usage methods of various file formats and the meanings of version types.
TubesT-H Tubular Restrictions:
① H-beam, (hot-rolled) angle steel, (hot-rolled) channel steel, T-beam.
② From Version 25V3, supports automatic identification of round, square and rectangular tubes
Automatically adding marking text to parts (recommended)
Familiar with some basic processes, want the software to automatically add leader lines and compensation to tube holes (recommended)
When the actual R corner size of the I-beam is inconsistent with the drawing, you want to automatically modify the R corner (supports t2t, x2t, nc1 formats of H-beam)
Want to automatically add gaps to parts (When maintaining the integrity of the tube for ease of clamping)
Before part processing, inspect parts to prevent post-nesting discrepancies.?Reprocessing erroneous parts consumes significant additional time. Refer to the following checklist:
① Marking
Is marking text applied?
Is positioning appropriate?
② Bevel Integrity Check?(For beveled parts)
Are all bevels correctly identified?
Does the bevel toolpath achieve intended results?
③ Toolpath Anomaly Detection
Missing toolpaths?
Redundant/extra toolpaths?
★ If a prompt appears after import: "Normal Vector Error Check", click "OK".
This feature performs toolpath verification on parts identified with bevels. Components containing critical errors will be flagged with?yellow warning triangles.
During oscillation at the?I-beam R-corner cutting zone, the cutting head is prone to collide with the?flange plate.
Collision prevention requires mandatory deployment of the cutting head 3D model. Operational Reference: Detailed methodology in 【Manual Modify Contour Vector】.
Users of TubesT-H must exclusively deploy?SES 3D Cutting Head models.
To configure:
Simulate Dropdown Menu → → Select structural steel cutting head model matching the equipment.
How to confirm:? Locate model label on the cutting head exterior? or ?Contact equipment manufacturer's after-sales service
5. Optimize Toolpath
The toolpaths generated from I-beam drawings often exhibit?certain discrepancies?compared to actual machining requirements. Implementing?toolpath optimization?is essential to enhance production quality and efficiency.
Core Principle of Nesting. The tutorial is?mandatory viewing?for all operators.
Other Special Settings
Straight cut position
7. Assign Technique
Process differentiation?must be performed after nesting completion. Reference Tutorial: 【Assign Technique】.
8.Auto-sort (Avoid Slag Sorting)
If high precision is required for web holes and you want to cut the web first before the flanges to prevent flange slag from affecting hole cutting, directly use 【Slag-free Sort】.
In other cases, no special settings are required. For detailed instructions, refer to:【Sort Strategy】.?
9.Kerf Compensation
Fixed-height cutting is widely applied in flange-proximate toolpaths, including weld access holes and tabs.
Without kerf compensation, these paths may exhibit noticeable notches or – due to excessive kerf width cause toolhead collisions during subsequent path execution.
For constant-height toolpath machining, applying 【Kerf Compensation(fixed height)】?effectively prevents dimensional errors caused by kerf overwidth.
10.Export Task Package
After completing nesting and sequencing operations, you may export the nesting results. Reference tutorial:?【Export】
