#3  Programming time ( continued )

 

As mentioned in step 8 and 9, the software automatically sequenced the nested parts on all 124 sheets and then assigned lead-ins to the inside cutouts and the outside cutter path of each part using CPT crash avoidance logic. Of the 23,482 rapids, only 2,079 required a MANDATORY head raise be output.

 

As seen in fig 1 and 2, the CPT ( crash protection technology ) sequenced and assigned the lead-ins so that the laser would not have to raise the head, nor would it dive into a previously cut cutout.

As mentioned in step 10 and 11, the software automatically radiuses intersections.  In this case, the software found and radiused 4,149 intersections on the 3,166 parts.   As shown in the relief cut below, the original drawing did not have a radius in either 90 degree intersect.  Not radiusing the intersection of a relief will in most cases require the laser operator to slow the entire nest down, lose the cut or distort the accuracy of the intersection.
