Use this reference when entering an actual piece measurement or completing a checked-out cut. Operator OR Supervisor performs these station tasks with the current station authority. The released measurement practice and frozen cut plan supply their own conditions; this reference does not recommend saw settings, allowances or uncertainty values.
Enter the number and its unit
Each length control has a separate mm or in selector and accepts at most 32 text characters. Keep the unit in the selector, not appended to the number. Millimetres accept an unsigned decimal with at most three decimal places. Inches accept an unsigned decimal with at most four decimal places, or a proper fraction over 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64. A mixed inch fraction uses one space, such as 12 3/8. A fraction alone, such as 3/8, is also supported. Decimal entries need digits before the point and digits after it when present, so use 0.5 rather than .5. These examples describe entry syntax only.
Do not enter a leading plus, a decimal comma, thousands separators, exponent notation or surrounding spaces. The parser does not trim or round the entry. For example, 12.3456 is too precise in mm even if it could be rounded. Check the original measurement and use a permitted representation; do not alter an observation merely to obtain acceptance.
Check registration fields
| Field or control | What to enter | Checks and limits | If it is refused |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Scan the exact material code or select the matching released material. | A piece label is not a material code. Retired material is not selectable as usable new stock. | Check the actual material and current released catalogue; do not choose a similar material to proceed. |
| Measured usable length (one contiguous length) | The observed usable length of this one object. | Physical piece lengths are from 1 mm to 60 m. Separate lengths are not added together as one piece. | Check the selected unit, object and measurement. Ask a Supervisor about an unexplained discrepancy. |
| Measurement uncertainty (±) | The declared uncertainty for that measurement. | From zero to 60 m, strictly below measured length and no lower than the released practice's piece uncertainty. A displayed default is not permission to overstate precision. | Use the approved practice and actual measurement basis. An unsuitable practice needs Author/Reviewer attention through its controlled workflow. |
| Condition | Select the actual observed condition. | The released rules use this value in the keep decision. | Recheck the object; do not select a better condition to change its outcome. |
| Batch, if known (exact) | The actual batch reference, or leave empty if unknown. | The field allows 80 characters. Unknown batch will not match a job requiring a specific batch. | Check the exact source marking. Do not copy a neighbouring piece's batch. |
Choose Check the keep decision after correcting the fields. Review the guarantee, threshold and proposed location before Register piece. A recorded kept piece still needs its current label and confirmed put-away. See Register and put away.
Record the completed cut
| Field or control | What to enter | Checks and limits | If it is refused |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blanks produced | Actual conforming blank count. | The screen offers 1 to 100. No blank produced is outside ordinary completion. Fewer than planned can be a partial output if the remaining checks pass; more than planned needs review. | Use the exception procedure for no output. Keep actual counts when seeking review. |
| Each blank's as-cut length (finished plus allowance) | Actual blank length, including the allowance. | From 1 mm to 60 m and compared with the frozen planned blank length. | Check units and measurements. Changed dimensions need review rather than a rewritten observation. |
| Separating cuts made | Actual whole-number count of separating cuts. | From 0 to 101. This is a count, not total kerf length. | Reconcile the recorded work and counts. |
| Kerf per cut; Setup and end trim, in total; Other material discarded | The observed per-cut kerf and the two total losses. | Each length permits zero to 60 m. Enter zero explicitly when none occurred. Kerf is multiplied by the cut count in the balance. | Check that totals have not been entered as per-cut values, or counted twice. |
| Estimated rather than measured | Mark kerf, trim or other discarded when that recorded value is an estimate. | These marks are retained with the observations; they do not make an invalid balance valid. | Preserve the actual measurement basis and ask a Supervisor when it cannot be reconciled. |
| What is left | Choose the actual remaining-piece outcome. | One reusable remaining piece requires its measured length and condition. Its length must exceed the practice's piece uncertainty. The alternative explicitly says the remainder was discarded. | Do not use the discarded option unless it describes what happened. Reconcile uncertain physical material before confirming. |
Check the displayed output, losses, remainder and unaccounted difference before Finish the cut. Invalid dimensions or balance retain the cut for supervisory review. A lost reply needs the original request's outcome check. Follow Complete a cut, Lengths and fit and Exceptions.
