Abstract

When cutting the flat products (3) a set of the desired shapes and dimension of the products (3) is defined. Firstly at least one surface of the material (1) is scanned; scanning sets the boundaries of the available surface of the material (1). Optical scanning can be supplied by radiological scanning, preferably by a CT scanner (8). Defects (2) are identified in the scanned image and a position is assigned to them. A weight coefficient is assigned to each element from a set of the desired shapes and dimensions of the products (3). A cutting plan (4) is created; this plan (4) defines the boundaries of individual flat products (3), whereby the places with the identified defects (2) of the material (1). Optimalization of the distribution of the desired products (3) is realized with the goal of achieving the highest sum of the number of the products (3) multiplied by the weight coefficient of a given product (3) without the need to cut all the elements from a set of the desired products (3). Subsequently a cutting machine (6) is used to cut the products (3); this machine (6) cuts the material (1) without any limitation with regard to the mutual position of the cut lines of the neighboring products (3).
