High Yield Linear Cutting
SECANT Bar is for businesses of all sizes who process linear materials, either producing cut lengths for further processing within the business or for direct sale to end clients. It produces high yield linear cutting plans for all types of long product, bar, beam and section across a variety of materials. Part lists can be imported from Excel or Comma Separated Variable (CSV) files, or entered directly into the system. SECANT Bar quickly generates cutting patterns which can then be passed to the production floor through fully customisable printed reports.
- Generate cutting patterns for bar, beam and section production
- Simple to use
- High yield optimisation
- Mix different materials in the same cutting job
- Import parts lists directly from Excel or CSV files
- Produce customised printed reports giving clear instructions to saw operators
- Intelligent offcut management
- Efficient use of the full cutting capability of the saw
When SECANT Bar generates its cutting patterns the part list is sorted by material and cross referenced with the stocks of raw materials that are available so that each part is planned into a compatible stock product. Reports are produced showing the cutting patterns for each material in turn
We understand that failing to manage offcuts can result in capital being tied up in an ever-expanding range of raw material sizes. The decisions on when to use an offcut and when to create an offcut are a vital part of cut planning. SECANT Bar allows you to implement your own consistent offcut policy – with a flexible bias towards preferential use of stored offcuts and consideration of the benefit of producing a lower number of larger offcuts, if necessary, rather than many smaller sizes.
We recognize that in cutting optimization yield is not always the complete story. SECANT takes into account the cost of picking a number of different raw materials from the warehouse, the savings in machine time if bars can be cut as a bundle and the costs of resetting the cutting device for each change of pattern.
