Execute Micro Joint

This operation is used to connect the cutting part with surrounding workpiece without falling down the workpiece. By doing this, you can avoid the problem that the cutting part can neither fall from the gap of supporting rods nor be held by the supporting rods during laser cutting, so that the part becomes warped and collides with high-speed moving cutting head.

To execute micro joint, do one of the following:

• Automatically execute micro joint.

  Execute micro joint according to count or space.
  Used to automatically execute micro joint to selected objects according to the set value.

• Manually execute micro joint.

  Used to manually select micro joint position based on your requirement.

Automatically Execute Micro Joint

To automatically execute micro joint, do the following:

1. Select the target objects.

2. To open Micro Joint dialog box, do one of the following:

   • In tool bar, click .
   • In menu bar, click Object → Special Technics → Micro Joint.

   Micro Joint dialog box pops up:

   

3. In Auto area, select a micro joint method and set related parameters.

4. Optional: Check Skip Tiny Objects and set perimeter. The tiny objects within the set perimeter are not joint.

5. Optional: If the system is in Lambda 5E configuration, check High Speed Micro Joint to execute micro joint without turning on the laser at the micro joint positio. The cutting head keeps moving without slowing down.

Example

Select micro joint by count and set count as 2.

The system automatically executes micro joint as follows:

Manually Execute Micro Joint

To manually execute micro joint, do the following:
