Schutte

Schutte is a cutting company from NL with special requirements regarding the delivery of the nest drawings.

IMPORTANT: Their CNC cutting machine does NOT accept double lines and marking lines passing through contours.

Delivery

For each plate:

• 1 DXF cutting file per plate
• 1 nest drawing in PDF format on A4, text must be readable so select only the plate + header

Procedure

• export each nest to NC-pyros
• plate contour: default color
• part contours (inside AND outside) - color white, closed contour
• marking lines - blue
• remove:
  • vertices
  • text
  • piecemarks
  • bending info
  • orientation icons
  • SC entities
  • all other info outside the plate contour

Checklist

• vertices - when too dense, increase tolerance
• double lines (marking lines on top of contour)
• marking lines extending beyond plate contour

NOTE: when tolerance is reduced many marking lines will extend beyond contour, check and trim

Note

• use default layers (machine is picking contours by color, not by layer)
• machine code is created with CAM 2000 software
• Schutte does not have AutoCad so they cannot make any modifications to our files (or solve problems)
• make sure no marking lines are outside or on part contours because then their software cannot create the machine code
  • usual profile end markings give the problems, find them by filtering on closed polyline (the triangle shapes) and length 37.5 (the 'L' shapes)
• for examples see most Bronsveen projects
