eing Autotool settings, Nest settings, and Optimization settings. All materials that
are used on the machine are to be setup within the Materials Database in order for
proper code creation.
Cam.mdb- stores data for each material code and thickness. This helps automate the
software. For example, when an Autotool setting is changed, for a particular material
code and thickness, it is saved in the database to be used at a later time.
3.3.1 Material
Shown below is a screen shot of material code and thickness selections. When a
part or nest is created the material code and thickness needs to be correct for each
particular part or nest in order to properly run at the machine. For each code type
there may be one or more thickness set. When clicking on each material code the
thickness will change within the thickness dialog pertaining to each thickness set
for the selected code.
3.3.2 Updating Materials
Clicking on Update materials… on above screen shot will allow editing of materials
loading within NC Express.
By opening the update materials dialog user has ability to edit material names,
delete materials, or add new.
Remember- Code names can be edited, but should not be. For a Night Train
system the material code and thickness will need to be exactly the same in name
(letter for letter) that is setup within the Night Train.
