MOB v1 Machine File ​

Beta — under review

This page is new and is still being checked against the machines. It may be incomplete or contain mistakes, so do not rely on it alone for production settings. If something here does not match what you see, tell us.

The MOB v1 file is the first generation of the H&M panel file, read by the Mobi One V1 and the Frame Station V1. It works like the MOB v2 file: one file per panel design, with the layers of every machine station of the line. This page lists what is different.

The report form for a MOB machine file

Create it in Production files with MOB v1 Machine File as the report type, pick the production line, and set the job options of each station in its Station Job Options block.

How it is made ​

Zones, stations and the machine configuration file work as for MOB v2: see How a file is made. The configuration file of a V1 machine is a text file of key=value lines, uploaded in the Machine file tab of the setup.

What is in the file ​

The same header and layer structure as MOB v2:

End Layer,     -1;

The differences:

  • Layer numbers. The frame is layer -1 or 1, and a plate zone is written one layer further out: zone -1 is layer -2, zone 1 is layer 2.
  • Tool codes are shorter. Milling, sawing, drilling and gluing are written with the last digit of the tool: 8, 3, 2 and 9. A milling code of 2228 in MOB v2 is 228 in MOB v1.
  • Ellipses are written as polygon paths.
  • Gluing is written for frame glue lines only.

The frame map (BR, TR, HC, VC, AC4), frame nailing (NRY), plates (OS), plate nailing (NRZ), milling and sawing paths (PSG, PP) and holes (MP) are the same commands as in MOB v2. See Commands.

Job options ​

The report form shows the same options as for MOB v2, with these differences:

OptionIn MOB v1
Plates Nailer Tool ID4, 5 or 6, or Single nailing from model. There is no twin nailing.
Screwdriver Tool ID0.
Minimum panel height for twin nailingNot offered.
Battens Tool ID4, 5 or 6.
Milling, Sawing, Drilling, Gluing tool idOne tool each, shown by its last digit: 8, 3, 2 and 9.

All the other options — starting side, shift mode, trimming, custom matrix, mill and saw directions — behave as described in Job options.

The spacing of plate nail lines comes from the model. The Default value for CTC in plates nailing of the machine setup is used for the lines that have none.

Output ​

A ZIP with one .mob file per design, named after the design and its revision, in a folder per phase and batch, with an .orientation.txt next to each file and the operation drawings in pics/. See Output.
