9.9. Production time calculation
The parameters on this page are used to calculate the production time for a product in the
bend sequence computation process . This production time depends on the positioning speed
of the axes and the product handling times. The positioning speed is depending on machine
settings.
Manual handling, turning of a product takes production time. This time depends upon the
length and width of your product.
For a relative small product (in Z-direction) a top-bottom turn can be done quickly.
But a relative small product which is long (in X-direction) needs some longer time to turn from
front to back or in a combination turn.
The turn time can be set in a table in seconds. For this purpose there are 4 length intervals (3
boundaries) each with a specific turn time depending on the type of turn. Like the turn times
you also can set the length limit boundaries.
Boundary 1/2/3
Threshold values for product size. For values between these boundary values different
product turn times can be programmed.
