Grain FAQ

PEP Technology Grain FAQ 1. How does PEP control the grain angle of parts? 2. How do I know the converted parts have been saved with grain restraint? 3. Is the Grain Icon a reminder only, or does it prevent nesting at the wrong angle? 4. What is Soft Grain? 5. Can I set the part rotation in the nest to one rotation? 6. How do I set Grain? 7. Can we set grain automatically? 8. What are the Technical details of grain? 9. What is Auto Grain nesting? 10. Can I override auto grain for a specific nest ? How does PEP control the grain angle of parts? The PEP databases and software modules work interactively to control the nesting of parts that have been identified by the user as having grain. There are 3 types of Grain supported by the PEP software: Standard, Hard and Soft . Parts that have grain will be nested as follows: Standard Grain – limits the nesting of the master drawing to orientations, 0 and 180 degrees. This is the default setting used when the GRAIN field is set to YES. Hard Grain – limits the nesting of the master drawing to the orientation saved in the drawing database, 0 degrees. Soft Grain – allows automatic nesting to calculate the orientation that produces the best material yield based upon the width and length of the material using 360 degrees of rotation. All parts will be nested at 0 and 180 degrees of the calculated angle.
