Coil Width

Coil width is the extent of the blank perpendicular to the direction of coil flow, supplemented by trim strip, addendum, and French-stop widths. By default, this is the sum of the following:

• Extent of the blank perpendicular to the direction of coil flow

• 2 * Addendum Width

• 2 * Trim Strip for Length and Width of Part

• Width(s) of Double Edge or Single Edge Carrier Strip(s)

• Press French Stop width

Note that with double-edge carrier strips for 2-out layouts, there are 3 carrier strips in total--one at the outermost edge of each row, and one in between the rows.

Note also that center-type carrier strips don’t add additional width.

You can override the default with this option, which affects material costs and utilization, and the die size calculation for machine selection.

Select one of the following options:

• Default: calculated by aPriori (as described above)

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