Saw parameter to set how waste is used with tension trims
This value sets whether tension trims are made between all strips (where tension trims are necessary) or only if sufficient waste is available in the pattern. The above example shows how a tension trim is NOT taken if there is not enough material.
Check the box to reserve waste
Reserve
material for tension trims
If tension trims are only made if waste is available - this can improve yield.
If the value is set to No (N). The tension cuts are inserted in the following order:-
First tension cut between rear two strips
Second tension cut between falling waste and front strip
Next tension trim towards rear
Next tension trim towards front
.....
If a required tension trim cannot be inserted an error is reported
Notes
- Can also be set as a material parameter at both board and material level
