: Move from cutting to assembly faster with customizable labels. Labels can include barcodes, edging info, and even color-coding to help operators sort parts quickly.
The software can rotate sheets (horizontal or vertical) to find the absolute minimum waste, balancing material savings against the extra labor of handling the sheet. Opticut 5.25
A: Not necessarily. Opticut 5.25 is translucent , not clear . However, if it looks like milk and smells bad, it has emulsified tramp oil or has experienced a hard water reaction. Check your concentration. : Move from cutting to assembly faster with
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Water too soft; Return line above fluid level; Pump sucking air | Add 20 ppm hardness (Calcium chloride); Submerge return line; Check pump seals | | Rancid smell (rotten eggs) | Tramp oil contamination; Low pH; Dead zones in sump | Remove tramp oil; Add biocide or fresh fluid; Agitate sump with air sparger | | Skin rashes on operators | Concentration too high (>8%); Dirty sump | Dilute to 5%; Drain and clean sump | | Rust on machine table or part | Concentration too low (<3%); Water too pure | Check ratio; Add concentrate; Mix in hard water | | Grinding wheel loading (metal sticks to wheel) | Fluid too weak; Wrong wheel grade | Increase concentration to 6%; Use more open wheel | A: Not necessarily
Load part requirements manually or via automated methods such as CSV, DXF, or Excel spreadsheets. Optimization:
