Time Estimation: Bevel

Primecut will estimate as accurately as possible the time taken to perform various bevel tasks.

 

For this to work accurately, Primecut needs to know some machine settings:

 

 

Angle Rotation Speed Rotation speed of the vertical bevel angle

Angle Rotation Acceleration Rotation acceleration of the vertical bevel angle

Azimuth Rotation Speed Max rotation speed of the azimuth axis

Azimuth Rotation Acceleration Acceleration of the Azimuth axis

 

Bevel Feedrate Multiplier Type This is the algorithm used to computer the cutting feed slowdown based on bevel angle and material thickness.

Currently there are two algorithms:  

Generic  Uses a "Effective thickness x Feed= constant" based algorithm.  Seemed to work well on older plasmas.

HPR Plasma Uses a more complex approximation better matching HPR plasma data.
