5 COMMON MATERIALS MDF (LAMINATED OR PLAIN) CHIPBOARD (LAMINATED OR PLAIN) PLYWOOD PLASTIC SHEET MATERIALS

6 HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT YOU NEED NESTING SOFTWARE SCM XYLOG MAESTRO SOFTWARE FOR NESTING RECTANGULAR OR FREE FORM SHAPES (optional) Click on video to play

7 HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT YOU NEED EACH COMPONENT WILL BE PROGRAMMED INDIVIDUALLY & THEN A SPREADSHEET OF COMPONENTS TO BE NESTED IS MADE & THE SHEET SIZE SELECTED (8 X 4 etc.). THE SOFTWARE WILL THEN CALCULATE THE BEST WAY TO POSITION EACH COMPONENT ON THE SHEET TO GET THE LEAST WASTE AND THEN WRITE A PROGRAM FOR EACH SHEET TO BE MACHINED. GRAIN DIRECTION OF VENEER CAN ALSO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT SO THAT THE COMPONENT IS NOT ROTATED DURING THE NESTING CALCULATION

8 OTHER TYPES OF NESTING SOFTWARE SCM XYLOG MAESTRO ADD-ON CABINET MODULE COST = APPROX SCM GENIO CAD/CAM AUTOCAD BASED SOFTWARE COST = APPROX. 5,000 SCM X-CAB FOR KTCHEN/BEDROOM CARCASE MANUFACTURERS MAINLY - PARAMETRIC CARCASE DESIGN & TEMPLATES WITH ALL COMPONENTS OUTPUT AS NESTED PROGRAMS. COST = APPROX. 4,500 PLANIT CABINET VISION LIKE X-CAB, BUT WITH MUCH BETTER 3D GRAPHICS FOR CUSTOMER DESIGN & PRESENTATION. COST = 10-15,000 PLANIT ALPHACAM CAD/CAM SOFTWARE WITH MANY USERS IN UK. COST = 9,000

9 NESTING CNC ROUTERS A FLAT (MATRIX) TABLE CNC IS REQUIRED. THE SCM ALUMINIUM TABLE IS FITTED TO ALL CNC S & HAS HIGH CAPACITY AIRFLOW FOR BEST VACUUM HOLD DOWN A POROUS MDF BASE BOARD 15mm OR 18mm THICK IS NORMALLY USED TO SIT BELOW THE PANEL TO BE MACHINED HIGH VOLUME VACUUM PUMPS SUPPLIED WITH THE CNC ROUTER ARE CAPABLE OF SUCKING THROUGH THE BASE BOARD TO HOLD COMPONENTS IN PLACE WHILST MACHINING THE MDF BASE BOARD IS USUALLY CALIBRATED BY THE CNC IN ORDER TO BE SURE OF THE CORRECT WORKING HEIGHT MEASURED FROM THE WORKTABLE

10 NESTING CNC ROUTERS OVER TIME THE GROOVES MACHINED INTO THE BASE BOARD WHILST ROUTING WILL AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE VACUUM HOLD DOWN & SO WILL NEED RE-CALIBRATING, TAKING AN AVERAGE 0.5mm OFF EACH TIME UNTIL THE BOARD THICKNESS IS AROUND 5 OR 6mm WHEN IT WILL NEED TO BE THROWN AWAY AND REPLACED WITH SMALLER COMPONENTS AND PANELS WITH LESS FRICTION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT PARTS CAN MOVE DURING ROUTING, BUT THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY EITHER TAGGING THE COMPONENTS WHEN PROGRAMMING OR MACHINING IN MORE THAN ONE PASS HORIZONTAL DRILLING CAN NOT BE DONE WHEN NESTING

11 NESTING CNC ROUTERS A TYPICAL KITCHEN CARCASE NESTED OUT OF AN 8X4 SHEET OF MFC WILL TAKE APPROX. 4 mins TO MACHINE AT AN AVERAGE MACHINING SPEED OF 10m/min A JUMBO SHEET CARCASE NEST WILL TAKE AROUND 10mins AT THE SAME AVERAGE MACHINING SPEED WHEN COMPARED TO THE TIME TAKEN TO CUT WITH A SAW, DRILL & ROUTER, THE TIME SAVINGS ARE HUGE FOR BESPOKE MANUFACTURERS CUTTING ONE SHEET AT A TIME

13 PRATIX S CUSTOMERS: ENTRY LEVEL MACHINE FOR FIRST TIME USERS OR LOW PRODUCTION LIMITED OPTIONS ON THE MACHINE: 3 AXIS ROUTER WITH 7 SPINDLE DRILLING HEAD. NO AUTOMATIC LOADING/OFFLOADING MAIN TOOLCHANGER AT RIGHT HAND END OF MACHINE CAN TAKE SHEET SIZES FROM 2440mm X 1250mm UP TO 3.1m X 2.2m

14 PRATIX N12

15 PRATIX N CUSTOMERS: HIGHER PRODUCTION MACHINE PLENTY OF CONFIGURATIONS POSSIBLE: DIFFERENT AUTOMATIC LOADING AND OFFLOADING OPTIONS WITH LABELLING OF PANELS AT INFEED OR OUTFEED IF REQUIRED HIGH POWER ROUTER OPTION 4 TH AXIS OPTION 8 POST CAROUSEL TOOLCHANGER OPTION LARGER DRILLING HEAD OPTIONS CAN TAKE SHEET SIZES FROM 2440mm X 1250mm UP TO 3.6m X 1.5m

16 PRATIX N CUSTOMERS: USING THE OFFLOADING DEVICE OF THE PRATIX N HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO DOUBLE PRODUCTION OUTPUT, AS THE OPERATOR IS ABLE TO SORT THE MACHINED COMPONENTS OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE AREA WHILST THE NEXT PANEL IS MACHINED THE OFFLOADING DEVICE ALSO EXTRACTS ANY RESIDUAL DUST FROM THE BASE BOARD AT THE SAME TIME AS PUSHING THE MACHINED PIECES OUT OF THE WAY, MEANING THAT THE BASE BOARD IS CLEAN AND READY FOR THE NEXT PANEL TO BE MACHINED

17 PRATIX N12 UNLOADING TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WITH DUST EXTRACTION

18 Pratix N12 Throughfeed Nesting Cell with labelling on the infeed

19 Pratix Z2 & Z5

20 PRATIX Z CUSTOMERS: HIGHER PRODUCTION MACHINE PLENTY OF CONFIGURATIONS POSSIBLE: NO LOADING OR OFFLOADING OPTIONS TANDEM LOADING CAPABILITY (EVEN 8X4 SHEETS WITH THE 52 MODEL) HIGH POWER ROUTER OPTION 4 & 5 AXIS OPTIONS HORIZONTAL ROUTER OPTION 8 POST CAROUSEL TOOLCHANGER LARGER DRILLING HEAD OPTIONS CAN TAKE SHEET SIZES FROM 2700mm X 1300mm UP TO 5.2.m X 1300mm

21 TOOLING: DIAMOND TOOLS PARTICULARLY FOR MDF MACHINING. HIGHER COST, APPROX. 400 PER TOOL, BUT WILL LAST FOR MONTHS COMPARED TO TCT TOOLING ETC. (CRUING TOOLING RECOMMENDED) IF MACHINING MAINLY CHIPBOARD, THERE IS A DANGER OF THE TOOL BEING DAMAGED BY METAL PIECES IN THE CHIPBOARD ONLY STRAIGHT OR RADIUS / PROFILE TOOLING CAN BE USED TO MACHINE ON THE THE TOP FACE OF THE PANEL WHILST NESTING NO UNDERCUT TOOLING AS IT WILL CLASH WITH THE BASE BOARD

22 Main Nesting Benefits Production time saving compared to cutting to size on a saw and then manual drilling & routing Easy, low skill set up at machine One - off, bespoke production more cost effective Improved accuracy due to sizing, shaping and drilling operations performed without moving the workpiece
