• Choice of bar lengths : 

- Imposed :

This option allows you to impose a bar length for all profiles.

 

- Falls management :

If you have off-cuts in your stock, you can enter their lengths here, they will be taken into account for the cutting of the elements.

 

- Define by profile :

This option allows you to define a bar length for each profile.

See the paragraph ''Define the bar length per profile''.

- Treatment :

This zone allows you to add information in the report header about the finish of the bars (e.g.: Painted, anodized, without,...).

 

 


  • Machine : 

- Width of the blade :

 

By default the cutting width is retrieved from the options. This value can be modified for the active project.

- Initial drop :

 

Part subtracted from the length of the bar before optimization: this part corresponds to the different losses linked to the different sawing machines (in the case of a double blade machine, it corresponds to the systematic ''re-sawing'' of each length, or in the case of a single blade machine, it corresponds to the pre-emption of the bar, etc.).


  • Dimensioning of angles :

 

(See item entry)

Initialization of the angle value taken at the ends. In some companies the edge perpendicular to the bar axis is :

- Considered at 0°.

- Either considered at 90

Example In the first case the value of the cutting angle will be 30°, whereas in the second case, for the same cut, the angle will be 60°.

The corners of the flow list are recalculated immediately by changing the option.
