Setups
78
With Automatic Pierce Control is selected, this time is an additional delay after pierce is
complete.
Pulse On Time
When Automatic Pulse Mode is selected for pierce control the user can select Pulse On
and Off Time to adjust duty cycle response of the sensor pulses from the laser cutting
head.
Pulse Off Time
When Automatic Pulse Mode is selected for pierce control the user can select Pulse On
and Off Time to adjust duty cycle response of the sensor pulses from the laser cutting
head.
Creep Time
Specifies the amount of time after piercing the material that the laser head travels at
Creep Speed for cutting. Creep Speed is determined by a setup parameter in the Speed
Setup Screen and is a percentage of the programmed cut speed. After the Creep Time is
completed, the control accelerates to full cut speed.
Beam Off Time
The Beam Off Time parameter specifies the amount of time the beam output will be
turned off prior to he stop of motion. This feature can be used to tab parts for attachment
to the skeleton.
Postflow Time
Specifies the amount of time that the cutting gas remains on after the cut is complete.
Cut Height
The Cut Height setup parameter is used to select the desired cut distance above the plate.
This will set the initial cut height before the laser cut motion is activated. Cut Height is
derived from the CHS signal and the calibration curve and represents cut distance from
nozzle tip to the plate.
Pierce Height
The Pierce Height setup parameter is used to select the desired Pierce Height above the
plate. This can be entered as a multiplication factor that is calculated times the Cut
Height or an actual Pierce Height distance.
Lens Cut Position
Sets the focal lens position in the laser head for cutting.
Lens Pierce Position
Sets the focal lens pierce position in the laser head for cutting.
Pulse Laser Time
Sets the Laser Pulse Time duration for a one shot beam alignment.
