The new
Multitasking KitGuide projects kitting sequences for two parts simultaneously, thus doubling the unloading rate.
Originally introduced in 1995,
KitGuide indicates the sequence for unloading a cutter by projecting a line of laser light showing the location of each ply in a logical sequence for a kit. The system reads any native nesting data and eliminates the inefficient requirement for cutter operators to read ply maps or sort from labels.
KitGuide’s simultaneous guidance of two cutter operators also enables a single kit to be unloaded from both sides of the table simultaneously, eliminating the need to get to plies that are out of reach from one side of the table. The plies from each side are combined offline freeing the table to resume cutting. Each operator also has the option to wear a wireless printer that generates a detailed label to be placed on each ply as it is unloaded from the table.
