Inputs, units and where to find them

InputUnitTypical source
Usable rack widthmmUsable rack width after edge clearance
Usable rack heightmmUsable rack height after edge clearance
Part widthmmPart envelope width as hung
Part heightmmPart envelope height as hung
Clearance between partsmmMinimum clearance between parts required by the process

Method and formulas

  1. Across = floor((rack width + gap) ÷ (part width + gap))
  2. High = floor((rack height + gap) ÷ (part height + gap))
  3. Quantity = across × high; repeated with the part rotated

Limitations

  • Rectangular envelopes only
  • Does not check weight, hooks, drainage or coating access

Typical uses

  • Coating, plating or washing rack loading
  • Nesting estimates for flat parts
  • Comparing rack sizes

Who it is for

  • Process engineers
  • Coating and finishing supervisors

What you get

  • Parts per rack and layout
  • Orientation comparison
  • Area utilisation

Interpreting the result

  • Trial-load a rack before releasing the layout
