Important: For chevron tools this restriction must be set after version 5.5.6.1 on the tool management. The most typical value is 45 for 45\u00ba tools. See more information below for specific scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some tool groups can have angle restrictions, and when available they will be listed on the Advanced Settings, as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

See below examples and explanations for those groups how to set the angle restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Outside angle groove<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On this group a angle should be set to limit the actual tool angle. For example the WH08 profile set as:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

should only be done by a tool with exact angle of 65\u00ba in relation to the vertical line to the tool cutting, as can be seen on the tool representation on the right. Any other angle for this would would not generate the exact profile shape represented on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This restriction can be set for each of the outside angle groove so that the software chooses the correct tool depending on the geometry of the seal to produce. Set the restriction with the same angle as represented by A<\/strong> as can be seen on the image above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Chevron outside\/inside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On this group, originally all profiles and tools where made with 45\u00ba, and no restrictions existed as the tool angles matched all profiles available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of profiles that uses the chip less part off tools with angles different than 45\u00ba (VPA01-3S, WH08H, …) a restriction setting was also added to this group of tools so that a proper tool is chosen, and more important that the standard, fixed angle, chevron tool at 45\u00ba is not chosen to avoid broken tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The definition on this group can be done as a fixed value (for example 45 that would represent 45 degrees) or as a range. For ranges the syntax is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

start_angle - end_angle<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intent<\/strong><\/td>Example for input<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Fixed angle value<\/td>30<\/td><\/tr>
Range from 5 to 40 degrees<\/td>5-40<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The angles on this group are defined depending on the tool type (outside or inside) and can be set as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chevron outside angle range<\/h5>\n\n\n

Chevron inside angle range<\/h5>\n\n\n

Chevron tool angle for inside tools<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Practical example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the example below, since this tool is an inside chevron tool, able to produce cuts from 5 to 40 degrees (marked on the holder):<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

the restriction should be set as:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This means that a profile that requires a cut, using chevron inside tools with an angle between 5 and 40 degrees accepts this tool (offset 59).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a side note, software will first try to select tool with offset 23 as it has a higher priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
