Away From Clamps (Optimize)- Option to allow optimizer to always optimize tool hits for the special tool away from the clamps. Zone Width- Set a zone in the X axis to create a better optimized tool path. Ex. If a grid of special hits were spaced 6” apart and optimize away from clamps was chosen a zone width of 7” would allow punching to go back and forth (X axis) between two hits positive in the Y axis. Additional tool features (Form avoidance)- The additional features when adding a special tool can greatly enhance the automatic features of NC Express. When setup correctly the protection zone and exit paths can allow for completely automatic trouble free optimization by NC Express. • Extra Height- Extra height is used in conjunction with the stacking management for Finn-Power stacking equipment (STS, STM, SBR, etc…). The value entered here is taken into consideration when creating a stack to verify if maximum stack height has been reached. Only used in a part when this tool is used and automatically entered into the properties of the part as well Exit paths and lengths- Very important to setup when creating a special tool that creates a high form within a part. These will allow for proper tool path optimization throughout the sheet allowing avoidance of formed material. • Exit direction angle (A)- The exit angle of the tool is very important to avoid smashing forms. User must know which the best exit path of the tool is and enter the chosen value here (ex. 0°). [Example on next page] • Exit path length (B)- The path length works in conjunction with the angle. The only time the exit length is used is when the next hit is not directly aligned with the direction of the exit angle. If not aligned the sheet will require a movement in the exit angle direction at the length defined and if it is aligned the length is ignored and the move is done to the next hit location. The Stripper height (S value) of the tool is kept at the defined height if the next hit is in the same exit angle direction, if hit is not the S value will be brought all the way up to avoid making contact with the form. Protection areas- Feature in NC Express that is used for automatic form avoidance. This will allow the system to recognize there is a form in a specific area and tells the machine to raise the ram up to prevent any tooling from making contact with a form. Raising the Ram allows the punch to travel over the form instead of making additional movement around it. NOTE- the only time the Ram is raised is if the center point of the punch tool is traveling through the protection zone. 12-136
• Protection length (C)- Sets length of protection area of form after tool has punched. • Protection width (D)- Sets width (height) of protection area of form after tool has punched. • Protection area center point offset- These settings will allow the tool to be offset from the center point of the protection area. P being the center of the offset point and O being the center of the form. NOTE- In some cases either C or D may need to be set bigger than necessary to allow that larger tools don’t smash a form when traveling throughout a sheet. Example of setup Extra Height- 3mm A- 270 degrees B- 2 mm C- 95 mm D- 25 mm The tool shown to the right is an example of a louver tool. The dimensions are the actual size of the tool. Below would be the ideal settings for this type of tool. The picture to the bottom right shows the hits aligned in a grid along with the protection zone of the tooling. In this example there is spacing between the protection zones. With this spacing there is a chance that a tool may pass between the forming protection zones. If the center point of the tool passes directly through this “ non- form” area it can cause damage to the forms. This is typical when the forms are set to be processed last in a sheet and the large parting tool may be moving from one side of the sheet to the other. The way to resolve this is to add an additional distance for the protection zone in both C and D to protect the forms. 12-137
