Though the nesting time differs depending on the shape of parts and the nesting direction, it usually ranges from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

As an example, the capacity of the nesting machine when aligning stepped pins on a 120 mm x 240 mm pallet has been verified as follows:

Supposed that stepped pins are nested on a 120 mm x 240 mm pallet at an 8-mm pitch, then 30 rows x 15 columns = 450 pieces can be aligned.

If two pallets are used at the same time, 450 pieces x 2 = 900 pieces are nested.

Supposed the nesting time is 150 seconds including pallet replacement work, it takes 0.16 seconds per piece.
