WHAT
PRODUCTS ARE
BEING
PRODUCED
USING NBM? |
|
A manufacturing system used to produce
groups of components nested together on sheets of material. |
|
-
Parts are designed on
a computer and cutting instructions are sent to the router.
-
Parts that were
traditionally processed on a saw are now cut on the router.
-
The router profiles,
drills and cuts the parts, all in a single process.
|
|
- Lower Capital Cost

WHAT ABOUT DUST? |
|
IS NBM RIGHT FOR ME? |
More efficient use of operators time.
- Operations such as edge banding
of components from the first sheet can be done while the next sheet is
routed.
More efficient material usage.
- The nesting of shapes to be cut
on a router can take advantage of the machines' ability to cut odd
shaped components out of a sheet of material in a single, full depth,
through cut. The result is a gain in material yield.

|
Machinery is easy to use
- All of the machine instructions
are made by the computer for the job at hand. The effect is to reduce
the skill required of the machine operator. All that has to be done is
to select the job, load a sheet of material and press START.
No programming is done at the
machine.
- Quicker to commission and learn.
- Easier to train staff.
