Optimize

With the Optimize function, the traverse paths are optimised with various options. The tools must first be compiled using the Sort by list or Sort tools functions.

This function optimises the traverse path of a tool until the next tool change. Not to be optimised:

  • laser machining
  • Nibbling
  • Machining operations that are followed by a disposal record

This function can be found here:

  • Punching > Change > Sort
  • Combi > Change > Sort
  • Milling > Change > Sort
  • Nesting > Change > Sort
  • Change sheet > Extras > Tool

Optimise traverse paths

  • You have opened the NC model of a part or the sheet of a nesting.
  1. Click the Optimize button.
  1. Choose a function for optimisation.
    NOTICE! Manual editing of the optimised result can lead to unexpected errors when creating the NC program.
    NOTICE! If the postprocessor is to generate subprograms, the function "Opt std" or "Opt inv" must be used.
  1. Confirm your selection with the Close button.
  • The traverse paths are optimised accordingly.
