8.1.2 Extra Time Settings
When creating NC code within NC
Express time estimations are done at the
same time, which are output within the
setup report. Time estimations are based
upon the nest’s environment (i.e.
thickness, sheet size, control
mechanisms/speeds from tool library,
etc…). If a particular job is going to be
run at a slower speed (feed rate) at the
machine, the way to define this in NC
Express is to put the same percentage rate within the Extra Time Settings tab for
each feature (i.e. Punch, Sorting…). If necessary, the percentage values entered can
be saved to that particular material type and thickness to be used every time a nest
is processed. To save the settings enable ‘Save to Material DB’. If a static time
value needs to be used enter this value within the ‘Total (sec)’.
