Powder Coat Cart Inputs
Powder Cost Cart provides the following PSOs:
Number of Components per Paint Cart
By default, the number of components per paint cart is the maximum number that satisfies appropriate size and weight constraints (see
Powder Coat Cart Cycle Time Calculation). Users can override the default and specify the number explicitly. Select one of the following options:
• Auto-computed: this is the default
• User-specified: enter a value greater than or equal to 1.
What Fraction of Component is Painted?
By default the entire (external) surface area of the part is assumed to be painted. Users can override the default and specify what fraction of the surface area is painted (which affects paint costs—see
Powder Coat Cart Additional Direct Costs). Select one of the following options:
• Whole part/assembly: this is the default.
• Enter fraction painted: enter a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
Number of Masked Features
By default, the number of masked features is assumed to be the number of threaded holes (see
Powder Coat Cart Cycle Time Calculation. Users can override the default and specify this value explicitly. Select one of the following options:
• All threaded holes: this is the default.
• No masking: assumes there are 0 masked features.
• Enter number of masked features: enter a value greater than or equal to 0.
Painted Batch Size
By default batch size (used to calculate amortized batch setup—see
Surface Treatment Accounting Calculations) is the value specified in the Production Information screen of the Cost Guide. Users can override the default and specify a painting-specific batch size with this PSO. Select one of the following options:
• Use production batch size: this is the default.
• Specify painted batch size: enter a value greater than or equal to 1.
