Determination of the remaining length
The remaining length (1) is displayed in the detail view or when storing an edgeband again.
When the remaining length has changed, you can either subtract the known material consumption (2) or recalculate the remaining length (3) of the edgeband coil. When an edgebanding machine is connected, the remaining length will be adjusted automatically.
Options to determine the remaining length
Subtract consumption
After clicking on the "- Remove consumption" button, a dialog will open, where the current consumption can be entered. This value can be found in the operator interface of many edge banding machines.
The value will be subtracted from the currently known remaining length.

Calculate remaining lenght
The "Calculate" button opens a dialog where you can enter the inner and outer diameter of the edgeband coil. Based on these values and the actual current thickness of the coil or the nominal thickness of stacks or goods in stock, materialAssist automatically calculates the remaining length and updates it.
Tip: This function is very useful for the initial setup of the edgeband storage.

Measurement of the inner diameter
The remaining length of an edgeband can also be adjusted in the detail view of the material. To do so, click on "Edit" (1) in the detail view of the respective material. In the "Edit coil(s)" dialog, you can also adjust the actual current thickness (2) of single coils. To adjust the length, select the option "Calculate length" (3).
