Finalize Cut
Background
Cut Speed and Cut Quality
The last required selection in WAM is the Cut Quality. Cut Rate and Cut Quality have an inverse relationship; a faster Cut leads to lower quality, and better quality requires a slower Cut.
Once you have selected Cut Quality, you can specify a file name and select the “Generate Job File” Button to export the final Cut File. You can now move this Cut File to an SD Card and then insert the SD Card into WAZER to begin the Cut.
Show Job Time and Abrasive use
This feature displays the estimated time and abrasive needed to complete the cut, based on the standard abrasive usage of 140g per minute. If your abrasive flow rate is slightly higher or lower than 140g per min, the abrasive consumption can be different from the listed estimate. Moreover, the estimated job time does not include time spent during pause and transition between cut features.
Show stock size in the last tab
This feature displays Raw material size required for the cut in the cut section of WAM and helps you know the exact size of the raw material required based on the current layout on the virtual bed. Multiple cuts on the virtual bed are also considered while calculating the final raw material size.
Understanding G code
After you open the g code in notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac), you can see the g code present itself in the following way. We have also constructed an article on how to interpret the g code. After you have familiarized the g code command, you will spot anything out of place in a glance.
Visualization of G code
After the G code is generated, we high recommend using NCviewer.com to visualize the g code. You can view the animation and have a rough idea in what sequences the feature will be cut, and also check for any double cutting or mis-cut. Please refer to this page for more information.
Metadata in G code
After you open the g code in notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac), you will see the first several lines of the g code are not cutting related. These are the metadata. Please refer to this page for more information.
