NC generator configuration, concrete spreader

NC generator configuration

'Part 1' tab

Max. number of data blocks:

You can set a maximum for the number of data blocks. If a pallet exceeds this number, then the rest of the data is discarded. It is necessary to do this as otherwise the concrete spreader may crash if it has to handle too much data.

Minimum panel thickness:

The program does not take into account this thickness in the concrete distributor data.

Transfer polygonal / linear fixtures:

No: the program does not take into account surface form / linear fixtures in the concrete distributor data.

As recess: the program transfers surface form / linear fixtures to the concrete distributor as recesses.

As fixture: the program transfers surface form / linear fixtures to the concrete distributor as recesses with the depths given below.

Min. thickness of polygonal / linear fixtures:

Max. thickness of polygonal / linear fixtures:

The NC generator calculates the average thickness from the minimum and maximum thicknesses of the fixture and places this information in the concrete distributor data. (see parameter above)

'Part 2' tab

Transfer solid walls merged with upstands:

A upstand on a wall is merged with the outline of this wall.

Use a negative thickness value for recesses:

Recesses created from top to bottom are transferred negatively (AIA interfaces only).

Exact panel number:

Yes: the program uses the original panel number from the project.

No: the program uses an internal consecutive numbering system for the panels. The original panel numbers are retained (this setting is required for some concrete distributors).

Group together half panels:

Yes: this setting positions half panels together so that they form a polygon and are transferred as such to the concrete distributor. This setting benefits production especially for full width or 1/3 width concrete distributors as at least one travel path can be omitted.

No: the program always transfers half panels to the concrete distributor singly.

Take reinforcement volume into account:

Yes: the program calculates the volume of reinforcement and subtracts it from the volume of concrete. For very high levels of reinforcement this can make some difference and avoids the slabs being too thick.

No: the program ignores the volume of reinforcement.
