Adding a cutting technology

To add a cutting technology to ToolBox you first need to go into the menu and then select processes to get to the following screen

From here to create a new cutting process select the Add Cutting Technology button at the top right of the screen, this will then load a side menu for you to complete and add a cutting technology.

Complete the data in the form above to create your new cutting technology.

  • Display Name

    • The name of the cutting technology and how this will be displayed in ToolBox

  • Maximum sheet length

    • The maximum sheet length you can fit on the bed of your cutting machine

  • Maximum sheet width

    • The maximum sheet width you can fit on the bed of your cutting machine

  • Setup time

    • The time in seconds it takes on average for you to load the cutting machine with the program, parameters and load the machine with the required materials.

  • Setup mode

    • How you want to apply the setup time as a cost within your quotes

      • None - Setup charge does not need applying for this process

      • Line Item - The setup time specified will be applied to each individual line/part you are quoting for in your quote. e.g 5 line items = 5 set up charges with 1 charge per line of the above time.

      • Material - The setup time will be spread across common material groups and thicknesses. e.g. 5 Line items, 3 differing materials = 3 setup charges split across the 5 line items based on materials that are common on parts

  • Sheet change time

    • The time in seconds it takes on average for you or the machine to change the beds of material over on the cutting process.

  • Sheet change mode

    • How you want to apply the setup time as a cost within your quotes

      • None - Sheet change charge does not need applying for this process

      • Line Item - The Sheet change time specified will be applied to each individual line/part you are quoting for in your quote. e.g 5 line items = 5 Sheet change charges with 1 charge per line of the above time.

      • Material - The Sheet change time will be spread across common material groups and thicknesses. e.g. 5 Line items, 3 differing materials = 3 Sheet change charges split across the 5 line items based on materials that are common on parts

Once you have completed this data select Add to save this cutting process into your ToolBox.

Your new created cutting technology will be in your processes screen.

Editing cutting technologies

When you have created a cutting technology or want to edit an existing technology you need to select the edit button to open the menu for editing the data.

Once selected you will be presented with a side menu to edit this process
