Ring Nesting

Ring Nesting Benchmark / PEP vs TOPS The PEP Technology nests were done automatically with no operator involvement. 11/22/16 Material Tops Sheet Quantity PEP sheets % material saved Tops head raises PEP head raises head raises saved Hours saved at ½ second per head raise 3mm Mild Steel 15 14.94 .4% 7,882 1,777 6,105 .85 3mm 304 SS 10 9.89 1.1% 51,081 12,049 39,032 5.42 3mm 316 SS 10 9.75 2.5% 45,719 10,264 34,455 4.92 11-10-16 3mm 304 nest 24 22.88 4.67% 34,888 7,311 27,577 3.83 11-10-16 3mm 316 nest 58 53.5 7.76% 47,419 11,728 35,691 4.96 TOTAL 117 110.96 5.16% 104,682 24,090 80,592 20 PEP Savings . 20 Hours - If your laser is raising the head on every rapid, PEP will save 20 hours! . 5.16% Material - PEP saved 5.7 sheets of material ( 105.3 vs. 110.96 sheets ) . Error Free - PEP checked every ring for overlapping, lead-ins, head raise crash, etc. . Fully Automatic - PEP created all 105 .3 nests in 41 minutes includes; adding leadins, posting, checking for errors, logging all aspects of how the job was done. Fully automatic nesting was used, with PEP’s proprietary ring nesting logic. Nesting time: The automatic nesting includes arranging the parts on the plates, then sequencing them, THEN assigning lead- ins strategically, so the head stays down safely as much as possible. PEP averages 90% head-down rapids for a typical customer. Tabbing can be automatic, as well as skeleton cutting. Automatic Error checking is included in the nesting time. PEP automatically checks for:  Lead-ins on every part  Mandatory Head raises  Part on part  Parts too close to each other,  Part too close to edge  Lead-ins too close to another part  Integrity check verifies that no geometry on the part has shifted as a result of processing
