Cycle Time = Tool Cleaning Time /
Number of Operators
Cycle time depends on the following:
Laser tool cleaning time: this is the time it takes one operator to clean the tool. See formula.
Number of operators (specified by the machine property Number of Operators)
Tool Cleaning Time = Tool Surface Area /
Laser Tool Clean Rate
This is the time it takes one operator to clean the tool. It depends on the following:
Tool surface area: this is estimated based on the part dimensions and a perimeter allowance. See Tool Length, Width, and Area.
Laser tool clean rate: this the cleaning rate for one operator in area per unit time. It is specified by the machine property Clean Rate.
