This software tool optimizes layer thickness when blocks are split and allows you to reduce residual layers. You can increase your production and save up to 10% material per block.
Software
Fecken-Kirfel offers you numerous of software solutions that you can use to optimize your production processes, save on materials and costs, and manage your cutting systems even more efficiently.
FK-Opti-Sheet – Optimizing layer thicknesses
2-D/3-D-Nesting – making the most of materials
Our nesting software generates optimized 3D nesting for contours from the order data. This gives the ideal number of layers and loads to make optimum use of the material and keep cutting time to a minimum.
Contours can be moved from one batch to another by a mouse click.
The order lists with the necessary data can be created with every spreadsheet (e.g. MS-Excel) or can be imported directly from the ERP system.
Pick-by-View - Pick contour parts quickly and easily
Pick-by-View makes it much easier to sort the cut contour parts. The software shows the user the precise layer pattern of the cut material stack on a monitor on the machine. The parts to be removed are highlighted in colors so they can be easily identified and allocated to the correct order. Pick-by-View makes picking easy and efficient even at production high speeds. Self-adhesive labels can also be printed out for each order part for identification later on.

FK-Opti-Mat - Cut more mattresses than ever before
The FK-Opti-Mat software optimizes layer thickness specifically for cutting horizontal contours, e.g., for mattress production. FK-Opti-Mat can be used for all horizontal contour cutting centers. The tool adjusts the cutting order to blocks with lower heights or places multiple contours on the same block. This means you save up to 15% in materials. The nested contours are automatically (minimal) compressed in height and the position of the hold-down device is adjusted accordingly. It is easy to set the maximum permissible height deviation and the actual block height can be controlled simply via a slide control.
FK-Order - The Rapid Order Generator for Your Cutting Line
FK-Order checks the block storage, generates cutting orders from the existing nestings, generates the cutting data files, and sends these to the W 22 and F 62 cutting machines. At the end of the cutting process, the software automatically updates the order lists and stock inventory. Blocks that have only been partly used are also taken into consideration.
The Material Flow Controller (MFC): Constant Flow
The MFC software coordinates and optimizes material flow between all cutting machines. The tool reliably prevents conflicts when operating two shuttles on the same rail and optimizes material flow at crossing points.
