Rapid Speed

 

Machining centre parameter - speed between part border routing

rapid_speed_200x200.png

Enter the speed in linear measurement (e.g.: feet per minute, metres per minute).

 

This is the speed the machine moves between routing part borders or stay down / common edge contours.

 

Note:

 

For nested patterns the calculation of the dividing time is base on these parameters

 

- Loading time per board

- Time to take off each part

- Tool in/out (pattern dividing times)

- Cutting speed (pattern dividing times)

- Rapid Speed

 

The speed values in the machining library tooling options (e.g. Feed speed, spindle speed) are not used when calculating the pattern dividing times.

 

Notes

 

- Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
