Explanation
Film Cutting
Types
Film cutting includes the following types:
Single cut: to cut film for a single object before cutting the object, and then do the same for other single objects.
Group cut: to cut film for objects in the same group before cutting the group, and then do the same for other groups.
Global cut: to cut film for all objects before cutting them.
Parameters
Film cutting includes the following parameters:
Pre Laser On: the delay time before the laser is turned on.
Post Laser On: after the laser is turned on, the system lasts the set time before the next step.
Pre Laser Off: the delay time before the laser is turned off.
Speed: the cutting speed when feedrate override is 100%.
Gas Type: the auxiliary gas during cutting.
Pressure: the auxiliary gas pressure during cutting. It should be used together with the proportional valve.
Power: the laser intensity during cutting when the laser device is adjusted via the analog quantity.
Frequency: the carrier frequency of PWM modulate signals during cutting, namely the light output times in one second. The larger the value is, the longer light output time is.
Duty Ratio: in per unit pulse cycle, the ratio of light output time to the unit pulse cycle time. You can set it by adjusting the laser device via PWM during cutting.
Height: the distance between the nozzle and the material during cutting.
Focus: the position of focus during cutting. It takes effect after enabling focus control.
Lift Height: the uplifting distance of the cutting head after cutting each object.
Fixed Film Cutting: to do film cutting at a fixed height (determined by parameter Fixed Height).
Gas ON after Film Cutting: to turn on the gas during film cutting and after film cutting.
Cutting Parameters
Common Parameters
The common parameters include the following:
Pre Laser Off: the delay time before the laser is turned off.
Pre Laser On: the delay time before the laser is turned on.
Post Laser On: after the laser is turned on, the system lasts the set time before the next step.
Speed: the cutting speed when feedrate override is 100%.
Power: the laser intensity during cutting when the laser device is adjusted via the analog quantity.
Frequency: the carrier frequency of PWM modulate signals during cutting, namely the light output times in one second. The larger the value is, the longer light output time is.
Duty Ratio: in per unit pulse cycle, the ratio of light output time to the unit pulse cycle time. You can set it by adjusting the laser device via PWM during cutting.
Lift Height: the uplifting distance of the cutting head after cutting each object.
Prepierce Up H: the uplifting distance of the cutting head after piercing each hole during preliminary piercing. If the piercing times is set to 1, this parameter is invalid.
Gas Type: the auxiliary gas during cutting.
Pressure: the auxiliary gas pressure during cutting. It should be used together with the proportional valve.
Height: the distance between the nozzle and the material during cutting.
Focus: the position of focus during cutting. It takes effect after enabling focus control.
Special Parameters
The special parameters include the following:
Ignore This Layer: to ignore all objects in the current layer during cutting.
Gas Keeps on for This Layer: to keep the gas on during cutting all objects in the current layer.
Side Blow at Pierce: to open port Side Blow during piercing.
Side Blow at Cut: to open port Side Blow during cutting.
Fixed Cut: to cut material at a fixed height.
Film Cut: to do film cutting for metal material with film on the surface.
Gxx Acc Vary Time: the change time for X-axis and Y-axis resultant acceleration during cutting. With it unchecked, common parameter Axial AccVaryTime is valid.
Pre-piercing: to do piercing for all objects in the current layer in advance in the actual cutting.
Micro Joint at High Speed: at micro joint, the cutting head will continue to moving without decelerating and the laser on.
Slow Start: to make sure the cutting quality for thick plates. With it checked, the system cuts an aperture whose length is the set start distance at the start speed, so as to make the gas blow into the aperture and cut thick plates at normal speed.
Start Dist: the startup distance.
Start Speed: the startup speed.
Cool Delay: the blowing time at cooling point.
Cool Gas: the gas during blowing.
Nozzle: the nozzle type and nozzle diameter.
Piercing
Types
Piercing includes the following types:
None
The system automatically does the following:
Turn on the height sensing unit and blowing.
Control the cutting head following to the cutting height, and wait for the delay time for blowing.
Turn on the laser and start cutting.
1st segment piercing / 2nd segment piercing
The system automatically does the following:
Turn on the height sensing unit and blowing.
Control the cutting head following to the cutting height, and wait for the delay time for blowing.
Turn on the laser and execute piercing for the delay time for piercing.
According to the set piercing mode, do one of the following:
Segment: after controlling the cutting head falling to the cutting height without the laser on, turn on the laser and start cutting.
Gradual: Keep the laser on, control the cutting head falling to the cutting height at increment speed and start cutting.
Parameters
Piercing parameters include the following:
Increment S: the speed of the cutting head during falling from the piercing height to the cutting height during increment piercing.
Peak Power: the laser intensity during cutting when the laser device is adjusted via the analog quantity.
Frequency: the carrier frequency of PWM modulate signals during piercing. In general, it is set relatively lower, and pulse is used to avoid bad piercing.
Duty Ratio: in per unit pulse cycle, the ratio of light output time to the unit pulse cycle time. You can set it by adjusting the laser device via PWM during piercing.
Gas: the auxiliary gas during piercing.
Pressure: the auxiliary gas pressure during piercing. It should be used together with the proportional valve.
Height: the distance between the piercing position and the material.
Focus: the position of focus during piercing. It takes effect after enabling focus control.
Delay: the duration of the laser on at piercing height during gradual piercing and segment piercing.
Extra Blow: to execute blowing with the laser off after piercing.
Laser off Blow Gas: the blowing gas, including air, nitrogen and oxygen.
Laser off Blow Press.: the pressure during blowing.
Laser off blow Delay: the interval for executing blowing after turning off the laser.
