Larger Pockets for In-Situ Concrete Stairs

Compass Software users with the module “In-Situ Concrete” can cut the pockets on the underside of concrete tread covers larger starting with the new version.

The function “addition plane” allows customers to increase the size of pockets on the underside of treads that are to be placed on top of the concrete core. When cutting these pockets, the shape of the CNC tool results in rounded corners on the pockets. Previously, if the pocket was to fit perfectly onto the concrete core tread below, the stair builder would have to manually re-cut the tread corners to make them sharp enough to fit on the corners of the concrete core. Now, the pockets can be cut larger, and the tread will fit onto the concrete core below even if the corners are rounded. Furthermore, it is possible to even out small imperfections in the concrete core this way. This saves time and effort.

Did you know that it is also possible to automatically calculate the necessary depth of pockets on the underside of concrete covers after importing the stair data from a laser measurement system?

Stair builders often run into problems when the concrete core of a stair has inaccurate or irregular rises. The difference in rise has to be evened out with the wood tread that is placed on top of the concrete core. To do this, the software automatically calculates the necessary pocket depth on the underside of each individual tread to compensate for any irregularities measured on the concrete core. This function is called “Pocket from ext. tread / tread on concrete” and can be activated by simply checking the box in the software. This way the pockets for the concrete core treads are automatically cut out with the correct depth.

The software's precise calculations ensure that each tread fits perfectly on the concrete core and all rises are the same for the entire stair. Because the software automatically pulls and processes all data directly from the laser measurement system, there is no need for manual input of each tread’s data. This results in significant time savings for the user and reduces input errors.

Subsequent machining on the CNC machine is fast, accurate, and trouble-free.
