Turret Press Routing Node
The Turret Press Routing node includes required and optional PSOs. If you don’t enter a value for a required PSO, the part fails to cost.
The following PSOs are required:
The following PSOs are optoinal:
Stock Sheet Length
Optional
This value affects machine selection, material cost and utilization, and cycle time. It is used to calculate stock mass and number of parts per sheet. See
Turret Press Machine Selection,
Turret Press Material Cost and Utilization, and
Turret Press Cycle Time Calculation.
By default, stock sheet length is specified by the cost model variable defaultSheetLengthTurretPress. You can override the default and specify a stock sheet length explicitly.
Enter a value greater than 0.
Stock Sheet Width
Optional
This value affects machine selection, material cost and utilization, and cycle time. It is used to calculate stock mass and number of parts per sheet. See
Turret Press Machine Selection,
Turret Press Material Cost and Utilization, and
Turret Press Cycle Time Calculation.
By default, stock sheet length is specified by the cost model variable defaultSheetWidthTurretPress. You can override the default and specify a stock sheet length explicitly.
Enter a value greater than 0.
Part Spacing for Rectangular Nesting
Optional
This is the width of the trim strip around parts on a stock sheet. It is used to calculate number of parts per sheet, and affects material utilization (see
Turret Press Material Cost and Utilization and cycle time (via tool change time—see
Turret Press Cycle Time Calculation).
By default this value is 0.
To override the default, enter a value greater than or equal to 0.
Number of Bends
Required
This is the number of bends,
not including hemmed bends (bends that fold back onto themselves). If bends are present, the Bend Brake process is included in the routing after Turret Press. The number of bends contributes to cycle time—see
Bend Brake Cycle Time Calculation.
Enter a value greater than or equal to 0.
Number of Hemmed Bends
Required
This is the number of hemmed bends (bends that fold back onto themselves). If hemmed bends are present, the Bend Brake process is included in the routing after Turret Press. The number of hemmed bends contributes to cycle time—see
Bend Brake Cycle Time Calculation.
Enter a value greater than or equal to 0.
