Creep Time
Specifies the period after pierce complete that the laser head travels at Creep Speed. Creep
Speed is determined by a setup parameter in the Speeds setup screen and is a percentage of the
programmed cut speed. After Creep Time is complete, the control accelerates to full cut speed.
Pierce Complete
The Automatic Pierce monitors voltage of sensors in the laser head to detect completion of the
pierce.
Next Pulse
Based on sensors in the laser head, the system can determine when the next pulse occurs. The
Next Pulse will be delivered when the voltage drops below the Next Pulse setting.
Start Corner Power
The Start Corner Power allows the user to define a corner for power switching. This is defined as
a percentage of cut speed.
Minimum Corner Power
This allows the laser resonator to switch to a low power mode in corners. This is defined as a
percentage of selected power (watts ).
