Scrap Management
3 ways Optimation®
can use remnants
with automatic nesting
Remnant Management
The best remnant is no remnant (see Filler Part Strategies); however, in those moments when a remnant is unavoidable, making good and timely use of it is key. With Automatic Remnant Management, you can automatically, save, label, recall, and nest on remnants of any size. The software will create a cut line and program it for the machine tool.
2Coil Cutback Strategies
Similar to remnant management there are several ways to manage coil cut back to avoid waste.
3Skeleton Nesting
What if the leftover material isn't a neat rectangle or step-edged rectangle? It's a scrap with a - sometimes extremely - irregular shape. Maybe one large, odd-shaped part came out of a sheet of material. Optimation will save the negative-part geometry as is, label, then recall and nest on it just as you would a traditional remnant.
Invite as many associates as you like. In a free, private, online demonstration, we show you how the Optimation approach to automatic nesting can shave time and material in your operation.
