5 plates
6 hours 34 min to cut at 100 IPM (394 minutes)
Used 6 tabs per part in order to deal with bowing
It is a repeat job they cut 5 times per year on .25 inch mild steel
Part spacing of 1” required for head crash safety because of Bowing
20 parts per plate. The reason the spacing was so wide was because they had to tab each part with 6 tabs to keep it from tipping up due to the bowing.
Had to grind each tab= 30 seconds per part = 50 minutes time for grinding

3 plates required, 2 plates saved = 40% material savings
4 hours 53 min to cut at 100 IPM (293 minutes)
- 101 minutes saved = 25.63% faster cutting!
- Plate loads, common cutting and head raises included in the savings
PEP eliminated 32% of the cutting with automatic common cutting
32% less heat and superior heat control with PEP’s cutter path = no material bowing
No tabs required = no grinding = 50 min grinding avoided after parts cut
37 parts per plate
2 plate loads avoided
Head down cutting saves over 4400 head raises.

At ½ second per HR= 36 minutes saved!
