Head Raise and Rapid Travel Distance Savings
The CUT SEQUENCE of the internal cutouts in a combine cut part are automatically output in vertical columns or horizontal rows snaking up and down and back and forth. As shown in the enlarged view, the cutouts are sequenced using the shortest path. Then the lead-ins are assigned to the cutouts so that the cutter path moves away from the previous cutout so that the head can stay down. All of this is done automatically.
Combine cutting the parts reduces the rapid
travel distance from 1728 inches to under 700 inches.
CPT Logic Keeps the
Head Down Automatically
The magenta dashed lines represent rapids where the head is kept down. The red dashed lines represent rapids with head raises. The crash protection logic ( CPT ) automatically outputs a mandatory head raise when the head travels over a cutout or a part that could damage the head.
CPT required only ONE head raise out of 136 rapids, the head raise savings alone were $8.33 per sheet based upon a machine time of $100.00 / hour and a cutting speed of 175 ipm.
