On optimisation, the optimiser sees that there is a large waste associated with putting a “mechanical” prep at the end of a bar, and will therefore try a different combination.

A major feature of the flowline software is its ability to optimise a batch for the best use of profile. This is absolutely necessary on the flowline because:
The flowline cannot machine anything where the gripper is, or at the very end of the bar. To cope with this, the software looks at each piece to see if there are any operations near the ends – i.e. if this piece was at the end, the operation would be unmachinable.
The unmachinable area at the gripper end is defined by the “minable” parameter in sparams.mul, the area at the end of the bar is defined by the “maxable” parameter.
If there is an operation on a piece that is in the minable / maxable area, the end prep is modified to a “mechanical” prep.

On optimisation, the optimiser sees that there is a large waste associated with putting a “mechanical” prep at the end of a bar, and will therefore try a different combination. If this is not possible (e.g. on a short offcut), the optimiser will allow for the waste at the start or end of the bar.
The value of minable and maxable is set as parameters in the shared parameters file sparams.saw. To stop or reduce the frequency of bars with minable / maxable waste:
