Optimising parameter to control open parts
Do not use this parameter unless there is a restriction on the number of open parts
Use this parameter when the number of open parts is limited and the optimiser has to select from more than three different boards sizes, for example, where there are a large number of different boards sizes with relatively small board quantities for each material. The patterns are produced in order of material with a mixed sequence of board sizes.
If this parameter is NOT set the number of different board types must be restricted to 3 or less when open parts are limited. Patterns are generated in material and board list order.
Multiple board sizes with part priorities and limited open parts
When optimising data with multiple board sizes, part priorities, and with a limit on the number of open parts this parameter should be set.
Notes
- The maximum number of open parts can only be limited when optimising with either the Automatic selection or the Medium quantity optimiser.
- This can be an effective parameter where Destacking machinery is in use.
