The final outcome of the nest separates the parts to be processed in four different
zones. The intention of the above exercise was to show the ability to go back and
re-optimize a sheet at any time, as well as the ease of use when changing options
within the Punch Optimizer.
6.3 Batch Optimization (Auto-Processing Multiple Sheets)
In the case that a nest of multiple parts, or even single parts, has created multiple
sheets it may be time consuming to go through and process each plate if they will be
processed the same for each. NC Express offers the ability to process all sheets
nested (that are listed in the Nest Explorer) with a click of a button. Batch
Optimization requires a few items to be setup as well as options to be set within the
Optimizer.
Options to be set: Generate report PDF file…(optional), Print report automatically
after… Show report picture with tooling (optional). (Settings menu | Options)
Punch Optimizer: Open Punch Optimizer and set desired options within, and then
click ‘Use as default’. Use as default will set these as default settings throughout the
program, and then can be used whenever processing sheets.
Post Processing: Set the correct output folder for NC, fms, and report files.
To start: Make sure that settings above are set correctly.
Step 1: Create a nest that will have more than one sheet within the Nest
Explorer.
