Nail Rows - Battens

For the nailing of battens, one can distinguish between 1 nail, 2 nails, and 3 nails. These are generated automatically. For 1 nail and 2 nails, a nail is always generated in the center of the contact surface between the batten and the counter-batten. The two outer nails (for 2 and 3 nails) are generated diagonally in the corners of the contact surface.

The special transfer command 'NBR' for battens is used for the nailing of the battens.

The settings are the same for all batten configurations:

Nail length: Since version 22.01, the nail length is used to check whether the nail hits a blocking area from the underlying layers. If this is the case, the nail is removed. If there are blocking areas but the nail is not long enough to reach the blocking area, the nail is also not removed. Therefore, an appropriate nail length should be set here. Since version 25, the nail length is also used to check whether the nail even reaches the strike surface on the lower component. With a set nail length of 50 mm and a panel thickness of 60 mm, the nail does not reach the underlying stud and is therefore not generated.

Nail gun index: For machines with multiple nail guns, a different nail gun can be addressed by index for each wall material.

Nailer unit: For the PBAx and the Wallmaster from Hundegger, a nailer unit type can be selected here. This information is transmitted to the machine.

Nail gun angle: This angle is only transmitted to the PBAx and the Wallmaster from Hundegger.

Reference: The reference is only transmitted to the PBAx and the Wallmaster from Hundegger. The reference defines what the angle relates to. Segment: The angle refers to each individual nail line. Feature: The angle refers to the entire nail contour path. Since our nail lines are always individual nail lines, the effect with the Feature option is the same as with Segment.

Minimum distance from component edge upper layer: Here you can set the minimum distance that a nail should have from the component edge that is to be nailed. In this case, this is the edge of the upper batten.

Minimum distance from component edge lower layer: Here you can set the minimum distance that a nail should have from the component edge into which it is driven. In this case, this is the edge of the counter-batten.

Distance from batten end: This is the distance of the first nail to the start and end of the batten.

Distance from component edge lower layer at batten end: When nailing is generated at the batten end, this is the distance to the component edge of the lower component onto which the batten is nailed.
