The restriction file contains keywords both for control of the nesting process and for specification of the profile robot limitations. Only the limitations are of course considered when performing checks within the modelling modules. The following keywords are used:
|
MIN_PROF |
Minimum profile length |
|
MAX_PROF |
Maximum profile length (replaced by a check against available stock material in Profgen if CHECK_STOCKNO is given) |
|
MIN_DIM<x> |
Minimum value for dimension <x> of the current profile type (x is the order number of the parameter in dimension parameter list) |
|
MAX_DIM<x> |
Maximum value for dimension <x> of the current profile type |
|
LM_MIN<ph> |
Minimum attachment length (that means, length of welding trace of a stiffener) for a certain height (<ph>) of the current profile type |
|
TRUE_SCRAP |
The length of a scrap piece that shall be considered as true scrap. This could be the basin width for scrap to fall down at the robot. |
|
Note: Normally this keyword restricts the scrap piece between two profiles but in this case it is checked against the scrap piece created for each endcut. |
|
|
BEVEL |
Bevel-type that can be treated by the robot. There may be more than one BEVEL-keyword. |
All these keywords are given for each profile type, that is a section within the restriction file starting with the keyword PROF_TYPE defining "current profile type". The PROF_TYPE keyword must exist for the treated profile.
Furthermore, specific endcut restrictions can be given. These restrictions, valid within the current profile type are all given inside a section starting with the keyword ENDCUT, that must exist for the current end of the treated profile:
|
EXCESS |
Excess may or may not be defined |
|
BEVEL_FLANGE |
Bevel on flange may or may not be defined. |
|
BEVEL_WEB |
Bevel on web may or may not be defined. |
Possible values given to these keywords are YES and NO. The default value for all of them is YES.
