MANUFACTURING SEMINAR NEST & MORE CELL

In a manufacturing industry, Nesting refers to the process of laying out cutting and machining patterns to minimize raw material waste. Examples include manufacturing parts from flat raw materials such as manufactured panels and sheet metals. The process is commonly carried out with routers (wood), plasma’s, water, and laser cutting machines (sheet metals) MANUFACTURING SEMINAR NEST & MORE CELL

I’m passionate about Nesting as a manufacturing strategy

• Custom: 7 3

• Commercial: 19 6

• Reallocation of resources

• Industrial: Replace and/or Supplement high-volume CBB for greater flexibility, shorter runs MANUFACTURING SEMINAR NEST & MORE CELL

Get the Most Out of Me

• Watch the floor and listen • Monitors are simply a guide • I’ll call attention to monitors when needed • Ask questions MANUFACTURING SEMINAR NEST & MORE CELL

Nesting with Velocity CENTATEQ N-500/700 MANUFACTURING SEMINAR NEST & MORE CELL

Nesting parts in volume Nesting is a viable driver for production

• How? Isn’t nesting slow and dirty? • 65 – 100+ sheets per shift (sized, shaped, machined, and vertically drilled) • Removal of downtime associated with traditional nesting = Produces 40- 50% more available machine time Cycle Time Analysis
