Tips & Tricks

Setting up an offcut rack (physical)

1. Define the compartments with the maximum panel size that will be cut on the saw.
2. Define smaller compartment widths for storing sagging material.
3. When defining the compartment width, make sure that you take “space for flipping through” (in width and height) into account → set the compartment width in the softwareto a smaller value than physically available, as the software will continue to place offcuts in a compartment until the specified width is fully utilized).
4. Labeling the compartments on the rack with the compartment numbers simplifies the daily work of finding the compartment.

Adjusting the offcut rack in the software

If a small red lock symbol is displayed at the beginning of the row in the editing window, the compartments cannot be edited.

The reason: there is already data for offcuts in these compartments. This must be deleted first so that e.g. the size of the compartments can be edited.

Storage location selection: automatic vs. manual

We recommend the Automatic allocation option. Automatic allocation takes into account how full a compartment already is. If you select a compartment manually, you must first check whether the offcuts still fit in.
