Front Edge Lower

Stripper Machine Settings - Front Edge Lower

Output to layer

The geometry created by the tool can be transferred to another layer by checking this option and from the pulldown selecting the layer, or by typing a standard layer name into this field.

Output to sub-blocks

This option determines if the new geometry will be added to sub-blocks of the specified name.

Leave original

If checked, a copy of the original front edge path will be copied to the same destination as the new geometry.

Offset

Distance

Enter the distance to offset from the original geometry.

Angled corners

This option determines if unrounded corners on the original geometry will have a radius added to the new geometry when the offset increases the size of the entity. If checked, no radius will be added.

Perimeter

Palette

From the pulldown list choose the palette for the front edge profiles.

Use laser offsets

To add the laser beam allowance to the front edge profile check this option and add the Beam width.

Extensions

Side

Enter the distance from the last cut type entity of the side and off lay to the extents of the front edge.

Depth

Enter the depth of the front edge.

Centre Notch

This option will add a centreline notch or line to the grip of the perimeter.

Palette

From the pulldown list choose the palette for the centre notch. 

Width

Enter the width of the centre notch. If this distance is set to 0, then only a centre line is added. Otherwise, if laser offsets are being used, then the actual width of the centre notch will be smaller (by the beam width).

Height

Enter the height of the centre notch. If laser offsets are being used, then the actual height of the centre notch will be smaller (by half the beam width), unless only a centre line has been added. If a negative value is entered here then the notch direction will be reversed; i.e. it will be on the outside of the stripping board.

Offset

Enter the distance the centre notch will be offset from the centre of the design extents.

Notch Corners

You can specify parameters for the notch corners here. The Near Type refers to the corners on the edge where the notch is anchored. The Far Type refers to the corners within the notch.

Near Type

From the pulldown select SquareFillet or Chamfer. If you select Fillet you will then be able to enter the fillet Radius; if you select Chamfer you will be able to enter the chamfer Length.

Far Type

Similarly, select SquareFillet or Chamfer for the other corners.
