Even
though Corte Certo's newest optimizer has been designed for solar
protection, decoration and security film cut planning, it has
also been calling attention from many other industries which
need to cut any material in rolls.
Basically it provides:
- -
Automatic calculation of the number of rolls a project requires
- -
Repair fitting calculation
- -
Adding trimming to calculation
- - Post-edition
features, that is, diagrams may be modified with the aid
of the mouse.
- - Diagrams,
viewable on screen or printable, with precise indications for
the roll cut.
- -
Identification label for the pieces cut
- -
Statistics about the cut plan
Example
of operation
This
example will allow you to learn, in less than 10 minutes, how
to use CC Films’ basic functions. Your basic data are the following:
1
- roll: 1.50 m in height by 30.00 meters in length to be
cut into:
2
- pieces: 840 mm x 750 mm
3 - pieces: 880 mm x 799 mm
4 - pieces: 919 mm x 848 mm
First
click button for new calculation. Next, using the button roll
registration, as shown below:
Enter the information about the roll and click OK
Repeat
the same for Pieces spreadsheet.
Click on [Calculate cut].
Done!
The
Control Window can be minimized to a button at the center of
the tool bar, where the first statistical information about
the Project will also be shown: total number of rolls used
and general supply.
A Thumbnails Menu is available at the bottom of the screen in
order to make previewing easier; the roll is therein represented
by one or two rectangles of various widths. Think of these rectangles
as sequential parts of the same roll. Though care must be taken,
for each roll may have repeats. To determine if a rectangle is
a repeat, place the mouse over the rectangle in the Thumbnails
Menu
The
diagram highlighted in the Thumbnails Menu stands for the piece
displayed in larger.
Using
the tool bar button, indicated in the screen above, reopen
the Control Window in order to:

TERMINOLOGIA
-
Roll: the flat material (rolled onto a spool)
to be cut into smaller-sized rectangles referred to as pieces.
Synonymous with: spool.
-
Piece:
a rectangular piece of material to be cut from the roll.
- Project: a set or list of rectangular pieces to be cut from a determined
roll(s).
-
Cut
Plan: each of the diagrams containing the position of cut
pieces. For a better understanding, CCFilms displays, in
the Thumbnails Menu, the parts of the roll used as pieces
of different widths, as if they were sheets, thereby allowing
each to be previewed and re-edited separately. Synonyms:
Cut map, diagram, assembly.
-
Control Window: the window that opens in the middle
of the screen, and used to define project parameters and
perform
calculation. If closed, the Control Window will be minimized
to a button on the main tool bar, which must be clicked in
order to preview the cut plans.
-
Thumbnails
Menu: one or more parts of the roll used for the project
that appears in a sequence at the bottom of the Cut Plan
screen.
-
Fragments:
pieces of the plate leftover after the cut process that can
still be used due to their appropriate dimensions. These
fragments may be labeled so that it can be identified for
future cuts. In diagrams, fragments are identified by the
color yellow.
-
Manual
Editing: a system to reorganize pieces into a cut plan; produced
automatically by the program, using the mouse and tools supplied
by CCFilms. Also called the post-editing.
-
External
pieces: pieces that have been removed from a cut plan for
manual editing.
- Current
cut plan: cut plan in progress (amplified)
as opposed to other projects.
