Technic Parameters

Technic parameters include:

Common Parameters

  • 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.

  • Cut Speed: The cutting speed when feedrate override is 100%.

  • Peak Power: The laser intensity during cutting when the laser device is adjusted via the analog quantity.

  • Cut 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 to set duty cycle during cutting setting.

  • 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.

  • Cut Pressure: The auxiliary gas pressure during cutting. It should be used together with proportional valve or multi-valve.

  • Cut Gas: The type of auxiliary gas used during cutting.

  • Cut Height: The distance between the nozzle and the material during cutting.

  • Cut Focus: The position of focus during cutting. It takes effect after enabling focus control.

    See Control the Focus for details.

Special Parameters

  • Ignore This Layer: Ignore all objects in the current layer during cutting.

  • Gas Keeps on for This Layer: Keep gas on during cutting all objects in the current layer.

  • Side Blow at Pierce: Used to open port Side Blow during piercing.

  • Side Blow at Cut: Used to open port Side Blow during cutting.

  • Fixed Cut: Used to cut material at a fixed height. You can get a fixed position or manually input the fixed position height to set it.

  • Pre-piercing: It is valid for all the objects of the current layer. It is recommended to select method 1st Segment Piercing or 3rd Segment Piercing.

  • Micro Joint at High Speed:

  • Slow Start: Used to ensure the cutting quality during cutting a thick plate. With it checked, the system cuts an aperture whose length is the set start distance at start speed, so as to make gas blow into the aperture, and cuts at normal speed.

  • Start Dist: The startup distance.

  • Start Speed: The startup speed.

  • Cool Gas: The used gas during blowing.

  • Cool Delay: The blowing time at cooling point.

Over-arris Parameters

  • Peak Power: Used to set peak current during over-arris cutting by adjust the laser device via the analog quantity.

  • Pressure: The pressure of auxiliary gas during over-arris cutting. It should be used together with proportional valve or multi-valve.

  • Frequency: The carrier frequency of PWM modulate signals during over-arris cutting, namely the light emission times in one second.

  • Follow Height: The distance between the nozzle and the material during over-arris cutting.

  • Duty Ratio: In per unit pulse cycle, the ratio of light output time to the unit pulse cycle time.

  • Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the cutting head during over-arris cutting.

  • Speed: The cutting speed during over-arris cutting.

Piercing Parameters

Piercing Methods

Piercing methods include the following:

  • Direct piercing

    The system automatically does the following:

    1. Turn on the follow-up unit and blowing.

    2. Control the cutting head following to the cutting height, and wait for the blowing delay time.

    3. Turn on the laser and start machining.

  • 1st segment piercing

    The system automatically does the following:

    1. Turn on the follow-up unit and blowing.

    2. Control the cutting head following to the cutting height, and wait for the blowing delay time.

    3. Turn on the laser and execute piercing for piercing delay time.

    4. Keep laser valve on, control the cutting head falling to the cutting height at increment speed and start machining.

  • 2nd segment piercing

    The system automatically does the following:

    1. Turn on the follow-up unit and blowing.

    2. Control the cutting head following to the cutting height, and wait for the blowing delay time.

    3. Turn on the laser and execute piercing for piercing delay time.

    4. Turn off laser valve and control the cutting head following to the cutting height.

    5. Turn on the laser and start machining.

  • 3rd segment piercing

    It is usually used to cut thick tubes.

    The system automatically does the following:

    1. Do 3rd segment piercing.

    2. Do 2nd segment piercing.

    3. Do 1st segment piercing.

Parameters

  • 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 adjust the laser device via PWM to set duty cycle during piercing.

  • Pressure: The pressure of auxiliary gas during piercing. It should be used together with proportional valve or multi-valve.

  • Gas: The used auxiliary gas during piercing.

  • Height: The distance between the piercing position and the material.

  • Focus: The position of focus during piercing. It takes effect after enabling focus control.

    See Control the Focus for details.

  • Delay: The duration of laser on at piercing height during increment piercing and segment piercing.
