Small slot problems
Small slot problems
(OP)
Hi, I am trying to run some panels with a high intesity of 30 x 5mm slots. The material is 0.9mm galvanised steel, and the program is being run on a bystron byspeed 4400 3015 with N2 cutting (provided by a N2 generator).
The problem is that some of the slots are not being cut out because of floating slugs causing the head to raise and lose cutting focal position. The slots are around 3-4mm apart. Can anyone help? I have tried different programming sequencing with little sucess.

Where are you located? Try either using micro joints or "separating Lines" in Bypart. If the version you are running does not have separating lines, program them in. Those lines will dice up the slugs before processing the contour.

The company I work for is based in Lincoln, United Kingdom. The programmers have diced up bigger slugs with reasonable success but complain of how long it takes to program them in. Are you saying that in bysoft there is a seperating lines function?
Thanks for the reply

RE: Small slot problems
are you in the UK as well? What I tell customers is when they have a lot of slots like that, they should make one with the technology/separating lines and copy it as needed or to series the contour out. If possible, sequence all destruction of the slugs first then the contour. This does not mean it is the solution for everything or means it may save you time in programming.
