Coil Pitch

Coil pitch is the extent of the blank along the direction of coil flow, supplemented by specified trim strip and addendum widths. By default, this is the sum of the following:

• Extent of the blank in the direction of coil flow

• 2 * Addendum Width

• 2 * Trim Strip for Length and Width of Part

• Trim Strip for Center Carrier Strip, if specified.

You can override the default with this option, which affects material costs and utilization, machine selection, and cycle time. It is your responsibility to ensure that the overrides have legal results, for example, that the resulting blanks do not overlap.

Select one of the following options:

• Default: calculated by aPriori (as described above)

• User Override: enter a value in millimeters or inches that is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm.
