Reserve material for tension trims

 

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

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
