Machine parameters

For the correct calculation of plans, a description of the machine to be used is necessary.

The settings can be adjusted in the "Machine Parameters" dialog. To open it, click on the pencil to edit a machine.

The settings that can be made depend on the type of machine.

Furthermore, the settings depend on how the machine was added in intelliDivide.

For machines that have been created directly in intelliDivide based on a template, a large number of parameters are displayed. For example, the cutting length and the program slide travel can be adjusted if necessary.

Machine Parameters Cutting

The general settings differ depending on the machine type. For example, the parameters of a manual saw are different from those of an angle system. In addition, there are differences between machines that have been created using a template and those that are connected via tapio. Under the sections Restee, Gate Seal, Stress Clearance and Package Height , the further settings for the machine parameters are described in more detail.

For machines that have been connected via tapio, the settings of the machine are transferred directly. Immutable parameters are hidden to get a better overview. Parameters that may need to be adjusted (e.g. saw blade thickness) are displayed. After deselecting the option "Apply machine settings", these parameters can also be adjusted.

In the "General" tab, the following parameters can be set:

Cutting length (mm):

• Maximum cutting length

• Larger plates must be fed in a rotated manner

Program slider travel (mm):

• Maximum plate retraction

Feeding:

• Feeding plates from the front

• Feeding plates from the back

Saw blade thickness

Longitudinal section (mm):

• Thickness of the saw blade (= cutting width) on the longitudinal saw

• The recorded value should correspond to the actual saw blade thickness on the saw, otherwise plans may arise that cannot be processed on the saw

Cross-section (mm):

• Thickness of the saw blade (= cutting width) on the cross saw

• Deviations from the longitudinal section (mm) are possible with angle systems

Machine parameters nesting

For nesting, the "table length" and "table width" can be adjusted under the "General" tab.

Under the tab "Global Variables" the global variable table (wwglob.var) of woodWOP can be uploaded. Thus, intelliDivide knows the woodWOP variables when optimizing and generating the nesting plan and can integrate them into the result file.

Under the tab "ml4 folder" the ml directory with the woodWOP components can be uploaded. This means that intelliDivide knows the woodWOP components when optimizing and generating the nesting plan and can integrate them into the result file.

If you are using woodWOP components and do not want to upload the ml4 folder, each component must be embedded in the MPR(X) file.

Material-dependent settings for machine parameters

You also have the option of storing material-dependent machine parameters in the materialManager . This grouping makes it possible to assign materials to a material parameter group that is created on the saw, depending on their properties.

The material parameter group is merely an abbreviation that intelliDivide transfers to the saw depending on the material. The saw shows which machine functions are to be executed after the respective material parameter group name. The name of the "Material Parameter Group" must correspond to the name defined in CADmatic, otherwise the group name cannot be recognized.

In intelliDivide, the material group for each material is  displayed under the "Plates" tab in the "Machine parameters" column. This material parameter group is referenced in the SAW file for each material and transferred to the machine.

In the CADmatic on the machine, various functions can be controlled via the Material Parameters group. For example, it can be determined whether the scoring saw is used when using the material or how high the saw blade protrusion should be.
