Someone explain this one to me. I was cutting a cabinet today with non-grain material. A couple of the stretchers had flip operations on them. Since the material was non-grain, they nested on a 45 deg. angle. The problems comes in when machining the flip-op, I loaded the part on the table aligned with the fence label to the right and started the program to machine the flip operation and it tried to machine the parts on a 45 deg. angle. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I did not get a 45 deg. angled fence supplied with my machine.
I ended up having to re nest just those parts by themselves, so they would be running parallel to the table, print new bar-code labels, then scan in the new bar-code so I could get them to machine properly.
Thanks for any input on this one. And if there are any other scenarios I need to know about, would someone please fill me in.
The situation you've posted here is not a bug. The senario your dealing with should be addressed by the operater as the parts are being nested. You have the option to veiw each sheet after parts have been nested and prior to Writing CNC. If a part with flip op is seen (back ops are indicated with GREEN geom.) in a nest at an angle, then the operater can go into SETTINGS and change the nest angle to avoid the painful flip op locating task of an angular part.
Another thing that could cause this result would be if the cabinet was designed with grain and given an odd grain angle in eCabinets. The Nest orientation is used so the operator knows to simply flip the part to go to the flip fence.
