  • Publication number: 20050182506
    Abstract: A glass product cutting line includes a CNC cutting table, a sheet feeding device for feeding glass sheets to the glass cutting table, a plurality of harp racks, a sorting device and a dynamic cutting line control system. The control system optimizes the work piece layout on the individual sheets with a biasing favoring individual work pieces assigned to a leading harp rack. The bias tends to cut work pieces of the leading harp rack on leading sheets fill the leading harp rack in a minimum time. The system allows for removal of a filled leading harp rack, by designating a new leading harp rack for the control system, which then dynamically adjusts the bias and associated cutting scheduling.
