Parameters for microjoint formation

Set microjoint

The automatic setting of a microjoint according to the entered parameters is activated here. The microjoint is placed directly next to the lead-in path.

Lug width

The width of the microjoint is entered here. The width is only read directly from this dialogue box if no value has been defined in the following table:

Path: \u\pn\machine\machine_xxxx\config\TECHNO__TABLE.TXT

Automatically set microjoints

Several microjoints can be set down on one contour.

Minimum number of microjoints per contour

The minimum number of microjoints to be generated on a contour is entered here.

Maximum length without microjoint

The maximum distance between two microjoints is entered here.

Inner contour / outer contour

These specifications determine when a microjoint is set for inner contours or outer contours.

Minimum contour size in X

Here, the minimum dimension of a contour element in the X direction is entered from which a microjoint is to be set.

Minimum contour size in Y

Here, the minimum dimension of a contour element in the Y direction is entered from which a microjoint is to be set.

Maximum contour size in X

Here, the maximum dimension of a contour element in the X direction is entered up to which a microjoint is to be set.

Maximum contour size in Y

The maximum dimension of a contour element in the Y direction up to which a microjoint is to be set is entered here.

Check strategies

Check X or Y dimension for microjoint definition

This option sets the microjoint if the dimensions of the checked contour element are either in the X direction or in the Y direction between the entered minimum and maximum value.

Check X and Y dimensions for microjoint definition

This option sets the microjoint if the dimensions of the checked contour element in the X direction and in the Y direction lie between the entered minimum and maximum values.

Parameters for trough formation

Generate a starting trough

The formation of a starting trough is activated here.

Trough with radius

With this option, a starting trough with its radius in the transition to the contour is generated.

Trough with line

With this option, a starting trough is generated with a line in the transition to the contour.

Trough width

The width of the starting trough is entered here.

Trough depth

The depth of the starting trough is entered here.

Trough radius

The radius of the starting troughs is entered here.

Inverted trough with radius

With this option, an inverted starting trough with radius is generated.

Inverted trough with line

With this option, an inverted starting trough with line is generated.

Inverted trough width

The width for the inverted starting trough is entered here.

Inverted trough depth

The depth for the inverted starting trough is entered here.

Parameters for waste treatment

Cut up waste

The cutting up of the waste is activated here.

Waste and grid dimensions

Minimum waste dimension in X / Y

Here, you enter the minimum dimension that a cut-out in the X or Y direction must have in order for the piece to be treated as waste.

Maximum waste dimension in X / Y

Here, you enter the maximum dimension that a cut-out in the X or Y direction may have in order for the piece to be treated as waste.

Separation grid in X / Y

The distance of the separation cuts in the X or Y direction is entered here.

Parameters for separation cuts

No lead-in path

With this option, the separation cuts are generated without a lead-in path.

Central with straight lead-in path

This option generates separation cuts with a lead-in path whose starting point is centred on the separation cut.

Difference angle of the lead-in path

The angle that the lead-in path should have to the cut-off is entered here. The starting point of the lead-in path is no longer on the cut when a difference angle is specified.

Equidistant with circular path

This option generates separation cuts with a circular lead-in path where the circular path touches the equidistant of the inner contour.

Radius

The radius of the circular path is entered here.

Length

The length of the lead-in path on the circular path is entered here.

Distance to the contour at the beginning

The distance between the start of the cut and the contour is entered here.

Distance to the contour at the end

The distance between the end of the cut and the contour is entered here.

Min cutting length

The minimum length of the separation cut is entered here.

Define a subroutine block

The check box is activated if a subprogram block is to be generated around the separation cuts.
