Getting data about cutting back from the saw
Several saw controllers can (optionally) log activities on the saw
This information forms the basis of two sets of reports:-
Analyse shifts
Analyse runs
The saw produces log files which can be analysed for each shift and also allow actual cutting times and performance for a run to be compared with the estimated values from Optimisation.
These are options on the Saw Interface menu for the following saw transfer modes.
Mode |
Saw |
5 |
CADmatic 2 (with feedback) |
6 |
CADmatic 3 / 4 / 5 |
2 |
Online label PC (with feedback) |
For feedback there is link between the Optimising program and the Saw.
On choosing Analyse Shifts or Analyse runs the program automatically downloads the latest data from the Saw. The downloaded data is stored in the directory set by the System parameter: Path for Feedback data. It is best to maintain a separate directory just for the Feedback data.
Refer to the Saw supplier for details on setting up the link between the Optimising program and the saw.
