VS Rake Cutting

Following and idea generated by a customer, the variable angle capability of the saw can be utilised to cut the rake angle of a VS profile.

A piece that has already been cut with a 90 and 45 degree end is scanned with a barcode reader and loaded back onto the infeed on its large outer side with the square end at the pusher.
The pusher moves the bar over the saw blade and then reverses out of the way
The variable angle blade cuts a +/- shallow angle cut on the square end and the piece is ejected

Profiles that have the ability to be raked cut are identified on the Profile Parameters Tab by setting the vsTilt tickbox (new PeP parameter)
The barcode reads the batch and piece number and looks up the piece in the 44o file for that batch
The saw angle is calculated by looking at the angle data for the piece (0900, 0450, etc).
When the main batch is first loaded, any cuts that are 0000, 0900 or lower than 10 degrees (0100) are converted to 0090 in the main 449 / 44o file
After barcode scanning and loading as a single piece, each 0090 cut is converted into a slight angle off 90 degrees. The actual angle cut is specified with parameter vsAngle (90 +/- vsAngle)
A single piece temporary batch is created with the same batch number with the correct angle instructions for the saw (uses the same system as the Ecoline single piece batching)
