CUSTOM PROPERTIESWhen the Excel Report Generator is loaded, the following custom properties will be added to all operations in the .esp document. The values of these properties are saved with the operation when the .esp document is saved.Feed Rate AdjustmentThis value is used to adjust the operation time to account for machine feed rate overrides, machine kinematics or nc code processing settings on the control that effect operation time after feeds and speeds are applied.The cutting time for the operation is multiplied by the Feed Rate Adjustment value, so when it is 1, the cutting time doesn’t change. When the value is .5 the cutting time is cut in half. When the value is 2, the cutting time is doubled.Time that is not accounted for in the ESPRIT program can also be accounted for in the Other Time column that is designed for general user-adjustment off the operation time.Rapid Rate AdjustmentThis value is used to adjust the operation time to account for machine rapid rate overrides, machine kinematics, nc code processing settings on the control that effect operation time after feeds and speeds are applied.The rapid rate for the operation is multiplied by the Rapid Rate Adjustment value. When the Rapid Rate Adjustment is 1, the rapid time doesn’t change. When the value is .5 the rapid rate is cut in half and the rapid time doubles. When the value is 2, the rapid rate is doubled and the rapid time is cut in half.Time that is not accounted for in the ESPRIT program can also be accounted for in the Other Time column that is designed for general user-adjustment off the operation time.Other TimeThis value is used when calculating the Operation Time in the spreadsheet. It is intended to allow the user to include any real-world operation time that is not otherwise accounted for in the ESPRIT document.Process GroupUse this as an additional method to calculate cycle times per group. To calculate the cycle time per Process Group, make sure Output Time Charts is enabled on the General tab and the Process Group Time Chart option is enabled on the Options Tab.39 | P a g e
