The Strip Cut is located on the Cut Profiles drop-down menu.
The Strip Cut technique enables you to cut strips from a sheet using a multi-torch cut. The strips are nested as a multi-torch or individually at a common line cutting distance.
A multi-torch strip has one geometry, which can be straight, curved, or shape head (see the figure below). The result is a cutting path in which the heads of the parts are cut in a multi-torch (if the head cutting is activated), and the long sides of the parts in a multi-torch (number of cutting movements + 1).
The individual strips might be the same length but different widths, in which case the strips are not curved. The result is a cutting path in which the heads of the parts are cut in a multi-torch by the cut movement according to the widest part and the long sides of the parts in a multi-torch (number of cutting movements + 1).
The individual strips might be different lengths and widths, in which case the strips are not curved. The result is a cutting path in which the "aligned" head of the parts is cut as a multi-torch according to the widest part, the other head as a single torch by default, and the long sides of the parts as a multi-torch.
The lower or upper strip part acts as a master torch that maintains the starting points of the children part movements. The software automatically creates the cutting path based on parameters you select after clicking Action in the activation box.
Strip geometries: Straight, Curved, and Shape Head
The Strip Cut frame tools are grouped as follows (see the following graphic):
-
Actions
-
Options
Actions
Contains two action buttons: Create Cut Path 
and Remove All Cut Paths 
.
Options
Contains parameters used to create the strip cut path.
Strips Horizontal Alignment
Specifies how strips nested individually at the common cut line distance are aligned.
Select Left 
or Right 
.
Master Cut Movement
Bottom-Most as Master
Defines the master part as the lowest part of the nesting.
Select Left to Right 
or Right to Left 
to specify the direction of the bottom-most cut movement.
These parameters are unavailable if Topmost as Master 
is selected.
Topmost as Master
Defines the master part as the topmost part in the nesting.
Select Left to Right or Right to Left to specify the direction of the topmost cut movement.
These parameters are unavailable when Bottom-Most as Master is selected.
Left
Specifies that the Left movement is on, and that the left edge of the master strip is included in the cut
path. Select either Bottom to Top 
or Top to Bottom 
to specify the direction of the left cut movement.
Right
Specifies that the Right movement is on, and that the left edge of the master strip is included in the cut
path. Select either Bottom to Top or Top to Bottom to specify the direction of the right cut movement.
Cut Sequence
Contains a sequence list of master cut movements (see the figure below). The cut movements
are Horizontal Edge , Left Edge , and Right Edge. Select a cut movement, and then click Move Up 
or Move Down 
to change the cut sequence.
The following figure shows a Multi-torch strip cutting sequence. The nesting direction is from left to right, and multi-torch distances are positive.
-
Bottom edge from left to right as a multi-torch.
-
Left head from bottom to top as a multi-torch.
-
Right head from bottom to top as a multi-torch.
