Create Machines

Configuring machines and materials is essential for an efficient production process and precise cutting plans. This process involves defining specific parameters such as maximum stack height, cutting speed, margin settings, and waste criteria. These settings are applied as standard but can be adjusted per order if necessary. Additionally, material settings can be added to specify variations in cutting speed and thickness based on the material used. This ensures optimal performance and accurate calculations when creating cutting plans.

Create Machines

General information

1. To create a machine, choose the icon, enter Machines, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the new action. A new machines card opens.
3. In the Type field select Panel of Length, depending on the machine you are going to set up.
4. In the Code field enter a self-created code. In general, this is an abbreviation of the Description .
5. In the Description field enter a short description of the machine.
6. In the Max. Stack Height you enter the maximimum height in millimeters. This is the maximum height of, one or multiple, panels stacked to be cut at once.

Cutting setup

7. In the Cut Width field enter the thickness of the saw blade you're using in millimeters. For example 3.5mm
8. In the Cut Direction field enter None for optimum result. If you choose for example Horizontal, the panel material will be cut horizontally as much as possible. Vertical is also optional.

9. In the Cutting Speed field enter the cutting speed meters per second that your machine can process. This field is useful for calculating the estimated cutting time.
10. In the Clean-cut Method field enter Fixed or Automatic. On Fixed the margin is always applied. On Automatic only applied when possible.
11. In the Top, Left, Bottom and Right Margin fields enter the margin in millimeters. Margins are used to ensure clean edges. Where sides are often rough, printed or have a slight deviation. Margins add extra cutting losses.
12. In the Min. Waste Length and Width fields you will be able to add the sizes on remaining parts that will be assigned as waste.
13. The Stack Count field indicates number of stacking places behind your machine to put the parts that are cut. this option will be used in combination with the group no field on the parts you enter

Material Settings

In addition to setting Machines, it's also possible to already provide settings for material (used on that machine). When using a different material, a different blades, or cutting speed can apply. This information is important for calculating a cutting plan.

1. Click at Material Settings at the left upperside of the page.
2. Choose New
3. A blank record appears at the top of the page
4. Click at the field and choose a material
