S Panel first at decoiler
« on: Dec 18, 2024, 12:02:06 PM »
Since I would rather look ignorant than remain ignorant. This dumb pipefitter would like to know what S Panel is at the decoiler. I see check boxes for S panel first and short side first. I am trying to get the decoiler file to be long side first when we download to it. And I need to make sure dynamic holes show up in the right place.

I'm not sure of the answer to your question but, I am having problems with my duct downloading to our coil. I want it to download checking S panel first and it must be checked short side first. Could you tell me the location of the those check boxes?

It will depend on your connector type.
If your slip is always on the long side (S&D Auto), then S Panel first would force the long side first.
With shortest side first enabled it can be contradicting at times - as your slip could be on long, but it wants to force short side first regardless of Slip location on the straight.

So basically if you always want your S panel first - check it with short side first disabled.
If S panel placement is secondary and your operator prefers to run the shortest side first, enable short side first with s panel first disabled.

Good news....the sorting to have Slip always on long side works as expected. Also the dynamic holes appear that they will cut out so they will be in the correct location. Judging by looking at the production screen. Weird thing is every time we try to start making the duct, it spits all the metal back out. Operator has no idea why because all we have ever done is manual entry.  Any ideas?  It is a Vicon Machine with plasma cutter.  I will probably reach out to Vicon tomorrow. I feel its something simple I am missing.
