What are the practical functions of the laser cutting machine during the cutting process?

December 30, 2020

In recent years, the role of laser cutting machines in the development of the sheet metal industry has become increasingly prominent. Today, the Laser cutting machine manufacturer Ande Laser will talk to you about the practical functions during the cutting process? With these practical functions, the processing efficiency and cutting performance of the laser cutting machine can be greatly improved.

1. Leapfrogging
Leapfrogging is the idle way of laser cutting machines. After cutting hole 1, then hole 2 is to be cut. The cutting head must move from point A to point B. Of course, the laser must be turned off during the movement. The movement process from point A to point B, the machine runs "empty", which is called idling. The idle stroke of the early laser cutting machine is shown in the figure below. The cutting head has to complete three actions: ascending (to a safe enough height), translation (arriving above point B), and descending. Compressing the idle time can improve the efficiency of the machine. If the next three actions are completed "simultaneously", the idle time can be shortened: when the cutting head starts from point A to point B, it rises at the same time; when it approaches point B, it falls at the same time. The trajectory of the cutting head's idle motion is like an arc drawn by a frog jumping.

In the development process of laser cutting machine, Leapfrog can be regarded as an outstanding technological advancement. Leapfrogging takes only the time of translation from point A to point B, and saves the time of rising and falling. The frog jumped and caught the food; the frog jump of the laser cutting machine "caught" high efficiency. If the laser cutting machine does not have the leapfrog function, I am afraid it will not enter the market.

2. Automatic edge finding
When the sheet is placed on the workbench, if it is skewed, it may cause waste during cutting. If the inclination angle and origin of the sheet can be sensed, the cutting process can be adjusted to suit the angle and position of the sheet to avoid waste. Automatic edge finding function came into being.
After the automatic edge finding function is activated, the cutting head starts from point P and automatically measures 3 points on the two vertical edges of the sheet: P1, P2, P3, and automatically calculates the inclination angle A of the sheet and the origin. With the help of the automatic edge finding function, it saves the time of adjusting the workpiece earlier-it is not easy to adjust (move) workpieces weighing hundreds of kilograms on the cutting table, which improves the efficiency of the machine.
A high-power laser cutting machine with advanced technology and powerful functions is a complex system integrating light, machine and electricity. The subtleties often hide the mystery. Let us explore the mystery together.
