Board dimensions (nesting)

 

Nesting parameter to set the minimum and maximum board size

These values determine which orientations of a board are valid for nesting runs. Board dimensions must be greater than or equal to the minimum length/width parameters and less than or equal to the maximum length/width parameters.

 

At the main screen:-

 

 Select: Parameters - Nesting parameters

 

- Move to the first tab.

 

The values to set are:-

 

Minimum board length

Maximum board length

Minimum board width

Maximum board width

 

- Enter the values required.

 

The Board orientation determines how the values are applied. For example;-

 

Board orientation = lengthways

Board length = 3660

Board width  = 1830

 

Parameter values set.

 

Maximum length = 2000

Maximum width  = 4000

 

In this case the board does not fit on the nesting table in a lengthways orientation. If the Board orientation was 'Either way' then the board would fit widthways.

 

 

Notes

 

- For rectangular nesting if the parameter values for 'Depth of nesting table: Pre-cut width of board' are set the pre-cut minimum and maximum width of the board must be valid for the size of nesting table.
