US 2015/0027285 A1 · CUTTING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

Abstract

A cutting apparatus includes a moving device configured to move a cutting blade and an object in a first direction and in a second direction differing from the first direction, relative to each other and a control device configured to cause the apparatus to calculate first cutting time lengths required to cut a pattern at a plurality of arrangement angles when an arrangement angle of the pattern relative to the first or second direction is changed by a first unit angle, determine one of the arrangement angles, which is shortest with respect to the first cutting time length or not more than a first threshold, and control the moving device so that the movement of the cutting blade in the first direction and the movement of the object in the second direction are simultaneously executed, with a result that the pattern is cut at the determined arrangement angle.

Dependent claims

A cutting apparatus cutting a pattern out of an object, comprising:

a moving device configured to move a cutting blade and the object in a first direction relative to each other and in a second direction differing from the first direction, relative to each other;
and
a control device configured to cause the apparatus to:
calculate first cutting time lengths required to cut the pattern at a plurality of arrangement angles in a case where an arrangement angle of the pattern relative to the first or second direction is changed by a predetermined first unit angle;
determine one of the arrangement angles, which is shortest with respect to the first cutting time length or not more than a first predetermined threshold;
and
control the moving device so that the movement of the cutting blade in the first direction and the movement of the object in the second direction are simultaneously executed, whereby the pattern is cut at the determined arrangement angle,

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a program for a cutting apparatus comprising:

a moving device configured to move a cutting blade and the object in a first direction relative to each other and in a second direction differing from the first direction, relative to each other;
and
a control device,
wherein the program causes the control device to execute instructions which, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
calculate first cutting time lengths required to cut the pattern at a plurality of arrangement angles in a case where an arrangement angle of the pattern relative to the first or second direction is changed by a predetermined first unit angle;
determine one of the arrangement angles, which is shortest with respect to the first cutting time length or not more than a first predetermined threshold;
and
control the moving device so that the movement of the cutting blade in the first direction and the movement of the object in the second direction are simultaneously executed, whereby the pattern is cut at the determined arrangement angle.
