14 Appendix D- Autotool Settings<br />
General tab<br />
Machining mode- select the type of tooling to be placed on part. For turret punch press <strong>machine</strong>s<br />
only punch and nibble can be selected.<br />
o <strong>Punch</strong> and Nibble- Allows tooling to be used throughout part.<br />
o Laser- used to tool a part with shear tooling.<br />
o Preshear- tools only interior geometry.<br />
Cut bottom strip- tools entire bottom geometry of part to be used for skeleton<br />
free cutting in nesting.<br />
o Use taught cycles- enables the use of taught cycles that have been created.<br />
Alternative tooling- Allows <strong>user</strong> to tool part with variational tooling (tooling a part with 1 or<br />
more rotations).<br />
o Use only 1 tooling- only tools part at 0° orientation. Part can then be nested only at 0°<br />
rotation.<br />
o Use 0° & 90° tooling- tool parts only for 0° & 90° rotation for nesting.<br />
o Use 0° & 180° tooling- tool parts only for 0° & 180° rotation for nesting.<br />
o Create 4 tooling orientations- tool parts in all orientations (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°).<br />
o Tool this orientation only- tool only selected orientation with Autotool again.<br />
CAD Layer Filter- used to filter layers of dxf files and DADO lines and points.<br />
o Closed Contours- closed geometry used by system for offset cutting. This variable can<br />
be alphanumeric or “ALL”. Layers from imported dxf file that are desired layers to be<br />
tooled are entered exactly as NC Express sees them. (Layers defined can be viewed by<br />
going to Settings menu | CAD then select layers…)<br />
o DADOS- open geometry used by system for centerline cutting. Cannot be “ALL”. Enter<br />
DADO for DADO lines to be tooled.<br />
Tool library-<br />
o Use only current turret- Select which turret part will be tooled from if there are multiple<br />
turrets setup in NC Express. (Note- only uses tooling turret not tapping turret.)<br />
o Use main tool library- allows the use of the current tool library. Uses entire tool library,<br />
per die clearance range of material thickness range. Utilizing ‘Use main tool library’ will<br />
allow tools to automatically be loaded into the turret by the optimizer, if not loaded in<br />
turret already.<br />
Unloading- Enables sorting devices in <strong>machine</strong>.<br />
