Clips as Stock Material vs Clips as Parts

In a yard, clips may be treated as standard parts/stock material or they may be treated as individual plate parts. A combination of these options may be used for different types of clips.

Typical for standard parts is for example, that they get a standard name or designation rather than an individual part name. Fabrication information is not developed for them individually. The relevant question is rather how many of them are required in a certain assembly and they are manufactured for store. This handling is primarily applicable for the simpler types of clips.

Clips as parts have all the characteristics of other plate parts and are treated in a similar way, for example, they are nested and cut like ordinary plate parts. When the clip standard of a certain yard is established it is possible to decide whether a certain clip type should be handled as standard clips or as individual parts.
