• Choosing bar lengths:

- Required:

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

 

- Fall management:

If you have offcuts in your inventory, you can enter their lengths here; they will be taken into account when cutting the pieces.

 

- Define by profiles:

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

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

- Treatment:

This field allows you to add information to the report header regarding the finish of the bars (e.g., painted, anodized, uncoated, etc.).

 

 


  • Machine:

- Blade width:

 

By default, the cut width is retrieved from the options. This value can be changed for the active project.

- Initial drop:

 

Portion subtracted from the length of the bar before optimization: This portion corresponds to the various losses associated with different sawing machines (in the case of a double-blade machine, this corresponds to the systematic “resawing” of each length; in the case of a single-blade machine, it corresponds to the pre-cutting of the bar, etc.).


  • Angle measurements:

 

(See "Entering Items")

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

- Let 0° be taken as the reference point

- Considered at 90°

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

The values in the flow rate list are recalculated immediately when you change the option.
