INDUZ Kapoptimering

Work out how many lengths you need and how to cut them for the least possible waste.

Job information

Parameters

Remember my stock lengths

Off: exactly the ordered quantity is made. On: the waste is filled with extra pieces where it can be. The number of bars is the same.

Offcut

Collected leaves as long an offcut as the order allows on the bar cut last. Spread makes the largest offcut as small as possible. The number of bars is the same.

Cutting optimization for bars, tubes and profiles

Enter the length of the stock, the fixture rest and the saw kerf, then the lengths you need to cut and how many of each. The optimizer shows how many stock lengths are needed, how each one is cut and how much is left over. You can print the result as a cutting instruction.

The calculation is the same as in the cutting optimizer in INDUZ, the manufacturing execution system (MES) that Hyllteknik uses. It looks for the fewest stock lengths and tells you whether that number is proven to be the lowest possible or the best solution found within the time limit.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?
Nothing. Calculating and printing are always free and need no account. There is no limit on how many calculations you make, but to protect the service from abuse the number of calculations per minute and per day from one address is limited.
Is what I enter saved?
No. The site uses no cookies, no browser storage and no web analytics, and it does not remember your values for the next visit. Your order is sent to the server to be calculated and is not stored there. Your IP address is held briefly in the server's memory to limit abuse.
How do I know the solution is good?
Under the result it says whether the number of lengths is proven optimal, that is the lowest possible for your order, or the best solution found within the time limit. Under Verification you can check that the quantities match what you ordered.
What are fixture rest, saw kerf and end waste?
The fixture rest is the part of the stock that sits in the fixture and cannot be cut; it does not count as waste. The saw kerf is what disappears in each cut. The end waste is what is left at the end of a length. The texts under How it works explain every field.
Are there limits on the size of the order?
Yes: at most 100 rows, at most 100,000 pieces in all, and lengths up to 100,000 mm with one decimal. A calculation may take about ten seconds. If the service is busy, try again in a moment.
Who made it?
The cutting optimizer was developed by Hyllteknik and is part of INDUZ. The site is run by INDUZ.
