The deburring cost model provides process-level and operation-level setup options. The following process-level options are provided by the Deburr processes (Automated Deburr and Manual Deburr):

The following operation-level options are provided by the Deburring operations (Automated Edge Deburring, Automated Surface Deburring, Manual Edge Deburring, Manual Surface Deburring, Virtual Automated Edge Deburring Op, and Virtual Manual Edge Deburring Op):

By default, the setup time per part is the product of the following, amortized over the number of parts in a batch:

For Manual Deburring operations, the default time to perform a single setup of a batch of parts is weight based: it is the product of labor handling time and the number of handling operators, which are interpolated from values looked up by part weigh in the lookup table tblHandlingTimes.

For Automated Deburring operations, the default time to perform a single setup of a batch of parts is machine based: it is specified by the machine property Setup Time.

Users can override the default on a per-part basis with this setup option. Select one of the following:

By default in starting point VPEs, the cost model assumes that parts can be deburred using a single setup. If not all GCDs to be deburred are accessible from a single setup, the default can be customized or overridden. Administrators can customize the default with the cost model variable defaultNumberDeburrSetups (1 in starting point VPEs). Users can override the default with this setup option.

Number of deburring setups affects Setup Time per Part.

By default in starting point VPEs, edge deburring uses the following tools:

Administrators can customize the defaults with the following cost model variables:

Users can override the default on a per-part basis with this setup option.

Note that users can also override the tool type on a per-GCD basis with the setup option Deburr Tool Type.

Tool type and material cut code determine the default Process Material Feed Rate, which drives cycle time.

By default in starting point VPEs, surface deburring uses the Wire Cup Brush tool type. Administrators can customize the default with the cost model variable defaultSurfaceDeburrToolType. Users can override the default on a per-part basis with this setup option.

Note that users can also override the tool type on a per-GCD basis with the setup option Deburr Tool Type.

Tool type and material cut code determine the default Process Material Feed Rate, which drives cycle time.

This is the distance in the feed direction per unit time covered by the deburring machine. By default, this is looked up by tool type and material cut code in the lookup table tblDeburring.

With this setup option, users can override the default on a per-part basis.

Note that users can also override the material feed rate on a per-GCD basis with the setup option Material Feed Rate.

Material feed rate drives cycle time. Operation cycle time for a given GCD is given by the following:

See Length of Edge Being Deburred, Travel Path Length Being Deburred, and Number of Deburr Passes.

(Automated Deburr process only)

If you include Automated Deburr in your routing, the cost model assumes that only edges are deburred, by default. With this setup option, you can override the default, and specify that all surfaces are deburred as well.

(Manual Deburr process only)

If you include Manual Deburr in your routing, the cost model assumes that only edges are deburred, by default. With this setup option, you can override the default, and specify that all surfaces are deburred as well.

(Indivivual occurrence of virtual edge deburring only)

By default, for virtual edge deburring, the cost model assumes that a single edge is deburred. With this setup option, you can explicitly specify the number of virtual edges to be deburred.

By default, tool type is chosen as described in Tool Type Selection for Deburring Operations. Users can override the default on per-part basis with the setup options Default Edge Deburr Tool Type or Default Surface Deburr Tool Type. With this setup option, users can specify the tool type on a per-GCD basis.

This is the distance in the feed direction per unit time covered by the deburring machine. By default, this is looked up by tool type and material cut code in the lookup table tblDeburring. With the setup option Process Material Feed Rate, users can override the default on a per-part basis. With this setup option, users can specify the feed rate on a per-GCD basis.

Material feed rate drives cycle time. Operation cycle time for a given GCD is given by the following:

See Length of Edge Being Deburred, Travel Path Length Being Deburred, and Number of Deburr Passes.

(Edge Deburring only)

For edges, deburr length is the distance along the entire edge, by default. For virtual deburring, the default edge length is 25.4mm (1 inch). With this setup option, users can override the default on per-GCD basis.

(Surface Deburring only)

By default, this is assumed to be one of the following:

With this setup option, users can override the default.

Travel path length, along with feed rate and number of deburr passes, drives cycle time. See Process Material Feed Rate for more information.

By default in starting point VPEs, the number of deburr passes is assumed to be 1. In some cases, it might be desirable to increase the number of passes (for example, when a surface is too wide for the tool to cover in one pass). Administrators can customize the default with the cost model variables defaultNumDeburrPassesEdge and defaultNumDeburrPassesSurface. With this setup option, users can override the default on a per-GCD basis.

Number of deburr passes, along with feed rate and travel length, drives cycle time. See Process Material Feed Rate for more information.

(Virtual Automated Edge Deburring Op and Virtual Manual Edge Deburring Op only)

Specifies the number of occurrences of edge deburring. Each occurrence performs deburring on the number of edges specified by the setup option Number of Edges for that occurrence, and uses the tool type, feed rate, edge or travel length, and number of passes specified by the other setup options for that occurrence.
