Pitch Margin Adder for Center Carrier Strip Type

Only used with center-type carrier strips. The trim strip length for a center carrier strip (16.00 mm, by default, in aPriori starting point VPEs) extends the horizontal spacing between adjacent blanks, in order to provide adequate space for pilot holes located in the carrier strip. The total length of the carrier strip between adjacent blanks is the sum of the following:

• Twice the trim strip for length and width of part

• Trim strip for center carrier strip

• Twice the addendum width

(This sum defaults to 26.00 mm in aPriori starting point VPEs.)

This center carrier strip trim strip value affects the pitch computation only when center carrier strips are in use; it is not applied for single-edge or double-edge carrier strips.

Select one of the following options:

• Default: value of the cost model variable defaultPartStripSpacing (16.00 in aPriori starting point VPEs)

• User Override: enter a value greater than or equal to 0.
