Exceptional Handling of Piece Parts

The normal flow through the panel line has been described above, that means, when the piece parts are parallel cut in the first station and then welded together to form the assembly part. However, in certain cases the piece part has got a chamfer along one of its edges or it has such a complicated geometry that it is necessary to process it in a burning machine for contour cutting. Such plates do not pass station 1 of the panel line but arrive directly to station 2.

The conditions for this and the complete routines to be followed in such a case are described in Assembly Nesting .
