The Job time on our Metalix is completely different to what the actual run time on the machine is. The Machine is a Yawei Laser 2kw.

Hi Nigel,
As we went though today here is an explanation on the difference in your Jobtimes between Metalix and the Yawei Laser
For this particular nest, Metalix quote 1h24mins where it was actually 48m on the machine. the few things we did in Metalix to get the nest time more accurately
- Feed rate
- Make sure you are using the same material type and thickness
- Update the feed rate in the cutting table to match the machine (in this case it was 13m/min)
- Check the acceleration. On the machine it is set to 50%, so changethe Reduced feed rate in the cutting table to half of the feed rate. In this case, its 7.5m/min
- Acceleration
Remove any value in this field
- Peirce time
Even thought the machine shows the pierce time at 0, it still takes time to pierce. I believe this field in the machine is for extra pierce time. for this material, we changed the pierce time to 0.25m/s
(All materials should have a pierce time, to find out what they should be it is best to talk to your machine dealer. They should have a list or at least know where to look on the machine to find this info)
Please run a few more tests in this material type and thickness to check accuracy.
Please keep in mind, that even if the machine tells us its feed rate and pierce time, to is not guaranteed your machine runs at these exact speeds. So adjust the feed rate and pierce time up or down to get better accuracy.
