Productivity

The most efficient way to manufacture panels is to keep the machine cutting at all times. This is easily achieved using the PANELBuilder 'Pendulum Processing' feature.

This allows the machine bed to be split into 2 virtual zones so that a sheet can be processed on one zone whilst the operator removes the parts and waste from the other zone and a new sheet is loaded ready to be cut. Automatic switching of the vacuum hold down and material locating pins are fully integrated for seamless, continuous production.

The PANELBuilder programming software provides an intuitive graphical interface for scheduling jobs to be cut on each of the virtual zones. Job schedule reports are automatically produced for the machine operator.

The AXYZ PANELBuilder CNC router can be optionally fitted with automatic vacuum zone switching which enables the machine controller to switch bed vacuum zones on and off as required. Auto zone switching can be easily overridden by the operator when needed for processing single large sheets of material.
