XC3000Series Motion Control System of Laser Cutting - User Manual
The power curve is fitted as a spline curve, with the horizontal coordinate being the speed and the vertical coordinate
being the laser output, which has good smoothness. The interfaces for editing can be chosen as shown above.
Take the figure above as an example: the duty cycle is 60%-70% when the speed is about 30%, and nearly 100% when the
speed is 100%. As in the processing, the duty cycle is nearly 100% for a cutting speed of 10m/min, the duty cycle is
60%-70% for a cutting speed of about 3m/min.
The default parameter meets most needs in processing. Users can fine-tune the curve base on the default.

Piercing Parameter
Select to use the noninductive piercing.
Height: set the height of the nozzle from the plate.
Time: set the time for noninductive piercing.
Focus point: set the focus point for noninductive piercing.
Laser adjmt.: select to adjust the beam-out parameter for noninductive piercing.
Power: set the laser power for noninductive piercing.
Duty: set the duty cycle for noninductive piercing.
Frequency: set the laser frequency for noninductive piercing.
The piercing is sequential down from level 5 to level 1 and can not be selected across levels. The
sequence of piercing is five - four - three - two - one.
Segment pierce: the height of nozzle from the plate is fixed during piercing.
Follow pierce: the height of nozzle from the plate changes at a constant speed to the piercing
height of next level.
Lightning pierce: the height of nozzle from the plate is fixed and the frequency and duty cycle can
be changed at a constant speed during piercing.
Set the piercing time.
Set the height of the nozzle from the plate during piercing.
Set the assist gas type for piercing. There are the air, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Set the assist gas pressure for piercing.
The pressure of nozzle cooling gas for piercing.
Set the peak power of the laser in piercing.
Set the beam-out frequency in piercing.
Set the beam-out duty cycle of the laser in piercing. It refers to the ratio of beam-out duration in
one beam-out cycle and the total time. The higher the ratio value, the higher the average power is
when beam out. When it is 100%, it means the average power equals the peak power.
Set the focus position when start piercing.
It refers to the time of no laser and blowing gas only for cooling the plate after piercing.
