FUNCTIONS TO ENHANCE LASER CUTTING EFFICIENCY/ SPEED
1: Frog leap function:
-to enable the cutting head to
lift between cuts and move at
the same time, allowing for
multi-axis movement during
cutting.
-this will reduce the total job
time as well, since it won’t to
first lift the head, then move it
to the next position, but will
now be simultaneously doing
the operations.
2: Auto-Focus Function: to reduce the time taken if having to refocus the laser every time
the material thickness changes and it’s no longer cutting well as before.
3: Edge Finding Function:
- Will allow for the laser head
(using capacitance) to detect the
material edges, hence find out if the
material is skew or not and cut
accordingly without us having to
adjust the material and have to
move heavy sheets.
