Nester™ Setup
The following Setup parameters are used to configure the manual nesting process for use.
Arrow Motion
At this screen, the user can select different move increment dimensions. These dimensions are used
as move distance references when the control arrow keys are pressed to place parts in position on
the plate.
Autoposition
Autoposition is an automated feature of the Nester™ software to search for the next available location
to place a part that is being added to the nested part list. Autoposition compares the overall block
dimensions of the selected part and searches for the next available block on the plate that is large
enough to accommodate the part being loaded. Values can be input for the Search Increment and
Scrap Clearance parameters that are used when searching for the next available part location.
Autoposition will not allow parts to be placed on top of other parts or inside other parts. This feature
is enabled or disabled by using the space key at the enable box.
Clear Nest
Clear Nest will delete all the parts located in the nested parts list from temporary memory.
Done
The Done softkey is used to end the nesting setup and return to the Nester™ main screen.
