Six major functions Double laser cutting efficiency! (1)

The application of fiber laser cutting equipment in the sheet metal processing industry is increasingly widely accepted and adopted. On the one hand, it can greatly improve the processing efficiency; on the other hand, it promotes the intelligence and automation of sheet metal processing. From the strategic significance of the current development, it has gradually replaced the traditional cutting and processing methods.
In the process of laser cutting, with the increase of orders and the expansion of business scale, higher processing efficiency and quality have always been their pursuit.
The idle distance of the early laser cutting machine is shown in the figure below. The cutting head needs to complete the third action for the second time: ascend (to a sufficient safe height), translate (reach above point B), and descend.

Today, in the cutting process, there are six practical functions. Together with these practical functions, the processing efficiency and cutting performance of the laser cutting machine can be greatly improved.

leapfrog

Leapfrog is the idle mode of laser cutting machine. In the development of laser cutting machines, Leapfrog counted as an outstanding technological progress. The frog jump action only takes up the time of translation from point A to point B, and saves the time of rising and falling.

The frog jumped and caught food and jump of the laser cutter “caught” high efficiency. If the laser cutting machine does not yet have the frog jumping function, I am afraid it will not enter the market.

The air route is commonly known as “air running”. After hole 1 is cut, hole 2 is next cut. The cutting head is moved from point A to point B. Of course, the laser must be turned off during the movement. During the movement from point A to point B, the machine runs “idle”, which is called idling.

Auto focus

When cutting different materials, the focus of the laser beam is required to be at different positions on the workpiece cross section. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the position of the focus (focusing). Early laser cutting machines generally used manual focusing methods; at present, many manufacturers’ machines have realized automatic focusing.
The method of automatic focusing is: before the light beam enters the focusing mirror, a variable curvature mirror (or tunable mirror) is placed. By changing the curvature of the mirror and changing the divergence angle of the reflected beam, the focus position is changed. This function helps the machine automatically adjust the focus to the most suitable position quickly.

Automatic edge finding

The automatic edge finding function can sense the inclination angle and origin of the sheet, and adjust the cutting process to suit the angle and position of the sheet, thereby avoiding waste. With the automatic edge-finding function, the time required to adjust the workpiece was saved earlier-it is not easy to adjust (move) workpieces weighing hundreds of kilograms on the cutting table, which improves the efficiency of the machine.
