As a new type of intelligent processing method, laser cutting has become one of the most widely used processing methods in the field of material processing after the large-scale growth in the past ten years.
Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser cutting can win. In addition to high efficiency and good quality, the biggest advantage is intelligence and flexibility. With the laser board and laser software, the laser equipment can quickly realize the process transformation, and the composite processing of various materials can also be used immediately, and the production tasks can be completed quickly.
CO2 laser cutting and engraving machine is so convenient, and what plays a role in this is the laser board and laser software.
The first is the laser board. As the “brain” of the laser equipment, the board is the receiver and issuer of instructions. It not only controls the motion control of the machine tool, but also controls a series of actions such as the power, speed, and focus of the laser system. The laser equipment is usually connected to a computer. Usually, the operator sends the instructions to the board through the laser software on the computer, and then the board controls the equipment to complete the execution.
Of course, after decades of development, the current level of intelligence of laser cutting equipment is very high. Even if it is not on site, people can directly connect to the board through the mobile phone APP or U disk to set processing tasks, and complete the processing remotely.
Laser software is further divided into drawing software and laser control software.
Drawing software is the image editing software commonly used in CAD, AI, CDR and even PS work. It should be noted that the pattern used for laser equipment must be in vector data format before it can be recognized by the laser control system, that is, dxf and ai. Class format, traditional jpg, png and other formats are not acceptable.
The laser control software is the industrial software corresponding to the laser board. This kind of software is generally developed by the laser board manufacturer. The corresponding control software is also different for different brands of boards. Of course, although each control system is different, the main functions are still similar, including editing the pattern, controlling the movement of the laser and the machine tool, setting the processing plan and executing it, etc.
In addition to the main functions, laser software of different manufacturers will also have different unique functions, such as intelligent optimization of processing paths, intelligent control of light output power and focus, and adjustment of speed and power for precision pattern processing. For common tasks such as cutting and engraving, operators can quickly get started after training, but complex multi-dimensional cutting and engraving, image or positioning point cutting and engraving and other functions still need to accumulate certain experience before they can be used well.
