This function produces the following kinds of output;
| PF Setting information in output excel file and display it on the
screen.
(1) for planing multi pieces rod
(2) for planing one piece rod which is longer than Planing Form length. |
| NC Mill (Beveller) control file as tap files
(1) for planing strips for multi pieces rod
(2) for planing a strip of one piece rod which is longer than NC Mill base.
(3) for cutting Hollow options as specified via Hybrid Section Specification,
including both of (1)(2) cases above.

Default
The most of input pull down remains unchanged while user does not
change.
Output Option pull down will lead you either of two functions below;
PF Setting Information output
To acquire the hard copy print, user can use the print function of
Excel itself.
Function Buttons
Name |
Function |
Excel/Zoom |
shows a separate Excel window with larger
resolution. pop ups when PF Setting is created. |
Generate |
produces PF Setting form output and switches the screen
to Excel to show the output.
When Excel is closed, screen returns to this panel.
Output excel file name is RodID+".xls", same to rod file. |
Return to Archive |
returns to Archive screen |
Section Specification |
When the selected rod is specified as
"Hollow", this button becomes visible. But for PF output, Hollow spec.
doesn't matter.
By pressing this button, Hollow Cutting Plan can be seen.
Hollow options can be changed at this point of time, but it may result in a different rod
from the performed calculations until then. |
Data on the screen
Item |
Meaning |
PF Station Interval |
specifies the length of PF Station Interval.
Default is what is entered last time. |
Source Data |
select from the pull down. In pull down, the
available excel files are listed automatically. |
Length of PF |
specifies the effective interval length from the 1st
push/pull screw to the last push pull screw.
e.g. 11 interval x 5" = 55 " |
Unit |
specifies the unit to be used on the output, inch or mm |
Final Planing
+,-thick ness |
specifies the thickness to be added (+) or to be
subtract(-) to/from the final planing setting. |
Rough Planing
adjustment |
specifies the way to offset rough planing setting to
final planing setting.
by addition: add a fixed thickness to final PF setting
by %increase: increase by % to final PF setting |
Adding number |
specifies the thickness to add |
%increase |
specifies % number to increase |
NC Mill (Beveller) control output
The created tap files are stored in "\tap" folder under
the DynaRod home directory. Tap file is created for each section of a rod, it means
that two pieces rod will create two files.
To bevel Hollow, another Tap Header file, which includes
"=Hollow" parameter, is needed in addition to the ordinal Tap Header file for
"=Taper" strip planing.
For a hollow rod, the following two beveling operation is needed
continuously without moving the strip from the NC mill base in order to fix the X
position.
1. bevel a tapered strip by the taper Tap file.
2. bevel hollow cutting plan by the hollow Tap file.

PF Station Interval |
specifies the length of NC Station Interval.
Default is what is entered last time. |

specifies the unit to be used on the output, inch or mm |
Final Planing
+,-thick ness |

One piece rod which is longer than Planing Form or NC Mill base
When the specified rod is one piece and it is longer than Planing
Form or NC Mill's cutting base, DynaRod prompts and requests to make a choice between;
| to use a longer Planing Form, or NC Mill base,
In this case, the Planing Form length is automatically incremented by PF station interval
length until it becomes enough length to plane. |
| to choice an overlapping planing |
In a case of Overlapping planing, the following input fields get
visible with default values.
Item |
Meaning |
Length of overlap |
specify the length of overlap. For the initial
planing of the overlapped length, additional dimension is added at the end of the
overlap. So the additional dimensions become slope. |
Addition to 1/2 dimension |
specify the number of additional half dimension to the
final planing size for overlapped area.
For Penta cross section, 1/2 dimension does not necessarily mean really 1/2 of dimension,
but it means the dimension of a strip instead of a glued blank. |
