With the new Edgeband overhang and edge calculation settings, you can tailor the Cutting dimensions and edge requirements even more precisely to your actual manufacturing processes. Choose between different processing modes, automatically account for edge thicknesses and joining dimensions, and get results that better suit your machines, materials, and workflows.
Configurable Edgeband overhang
Each workshop works with different machines and settings. Modern Edge banding machines often require lower Edgeband overhang than previous standard values.
That's why you can now set the Edgeband overhang in intelliDivide Cutting individually. This allows the Material demand to be calculated more realistically and optimally adapted to your production.
Calculation
The Edgeband overhang is taken into account at both ends of the Edge .
Edge demand = Edge length + 2 × Edgeband overhang
Example
Component length: 800 mm
Edge overhang: 10 mm
Edge demand = 800 mm + 2 × 10 mm = 820 mm
For the edging of this side, 820 mm of edge material is required.
Configurable editing modes
Depending on the selected mode, the cutting dimensions of a component are calculated on the basis of the desired finished dimensions.
By default, the mode
No edge calculationis selected.
Consideration of edge thickness
Depending on the selected mode, the edge thickness is directly included in the calculation. This allows cutting dimensions to be determined more precisely.
If an edge code cannot be found in the materialManager, a warning is displayed.
Calculation
The starting point is the desired finished dimensions and the edge thicknesses stored in the materialManager .
Length = Finish length - Edge thickness left - Edge thickness right
Width = Finish width - Edge thickness back - Edge thickness front
Example
Desired finished length: 800 mm
Edging on both long sides
Edge thickness left: 1 mm
Right edge thickness: 1 mm
Length = 800 mm - 1 mm - 1 mm = 798 mm
The component is cut to size with a length of 798 mm . After edging, the desired finished length of 800 mm is created.
Fixed joining dimension
In addition, a fixed joining measure can be defined. This allows machining allowances to be specifically taken into account for subsequent trimming.
Calculation
Length = Finish length - Edge thickness left - Edge thickness right + 2 × Fixed joint dimension
Width = Finish width - Edge thickness back - Edge thickness front + 2 × Fixed joint dimension
Example
Desired finished length: 800 mm
Edging on both long sides
Edge thickness left: 1 mm
Right edge thickness: 1 mm
Fixed joining size: 2 mm
Length = 800 mm - 1 mm - 1 mm + 2 × 2 mm = 802 mm
The component is cut to size with a length of 802 mm . After edging and trimming, the desired finished length of 800 mm is created.
