Presets
Octoflex QuickKalk only takes into account the entered programming and set-up times proportionately to the quantity of parts. The user can choose between stored profiles in which different markup values and hourly rates are entered.
After the selection of the raw material and the machine has been made, the cutting part can be calculated in two different ways:
1) Descriptive calculation
With the description of the part the total contour length is calculated. Using the stored cutting parameters of the respective machine, both cutting time and material consumption are then calculated.
2) Calculation using an existing CAD file
By importing CAD data Octoflex QuickKalk recognises the cutting contour and derives from this the material consumption and cutting time. Errors in the drawing, e.g. not closed contours are displayed to the user. The circumscribing rectangle of the component is calculated as material consumption.
