the main part. The main part consists of the bed (X axis), beam (Y axis), Z axis, exchange table
(optional), part of the bed of the tube machine, pneumatic chuck, air circuit and water circuit and
other parts.

2.6.2 Structure, function and working principle of main components or

functional units
Bed part
The bed is made of high-strength steel pipe welding structure, annealing to eliminate internal
stress, vibration aging after first processing→semi-finishing→vibration effect→finishing, the
stress is eliminated more thoroughly, reducing the deformation of the machine tool and ensuring
the long-term accuracy of the machine tool.
Beam part
The beam part is casted with integral high-strength aluminum alloy. After solution treatment
and artificial aging, it is machined to ensure the overall rigidity and strength. The currently popular
welded beam structure can also be used. The processing flow is rough machining→vibration
aging→semi-finishing→vibration aging→finishing. The beam is installed on the supporting guide
rail of the bed, (the guide rail has a linear guide rail and a flat guide rail). High-quality linear guide
rails are installed on the beam, and the Fuji servo motor drives the gears to rotate through the
reducer, so that the Z-axis slide plate realizes reciprocating motion in the Y direction. During the
movement, there are soft limit switches to control the stroke and limit switch protection. There
are also power-off limit and elastic buffer to ensure the safety of the system operation; the top and
both sides of the beam are closed by the outer cover, and a retractable organ-type protective cover
is installed between the beam and the horizontal slide to ensure that the rack and the linear guide
rail are in the same position. It operates in a fully enclosed environment and is not affected by the
external environment.
Z axis
The Z-axis device is the part that realizes the lifting movement of the cutting head. The lifting
movement of the cutting head is controlled by the CNC system. The servo motor drives the ball
screw, which drives the Z-axis slide plate to reciprocate up and down. The Z-axis travel is 160mm;
the upper and lower ends are controlled by proximity switches. There are elastic cushions at both
ends to ensure the safety of exercise. Both the ball screw and the linear guide are made of high-
quality products to ensure the precision of the transmission.
The Z-axis can be used as a numerical control axis to carry out its independent interpolation
movement, and at the same time, it can be linked with the X and Y axes, and can be switched to
follow-up control through the electronic control part of the cutting head to meet the needs of
different situations. Since the Z-axis follow-up is controlled by the numerical control system, the
precision of the follow-up is relatively high and the stability is relatively good, thus ensuring the
quality of cutting. The cutting head is sealed and has elastic cushioning to ensure the life of the
cutting head.
 After the capacitive sensor (installed on the cutting head) in the Z-axis device detects the
distance from the nozzle to the surface of the plate, the signal is fed back to the control system,
and then the control system controls the Z-axis motor to drive the cutting head to move up and
down, thus controlling the distance between the nozzle and the plate surface. The distance between
the plates remains unchanged, which effectively guarantees the cutting quality. The cutting head
has a device for adjusting the focus, which can adjust the position of the focus according to the
material and thickness of the cutting material, thereby obtaining a good cutting section.
The nozzle is one of the wearing parts during the processing time, and the user can reserve
some nozzles with different apertures for easy replacement.
The Z-axis is equipped with a linear guide rail seat and a screw seat to fill lubricating oil
nipples, which can be regularly filled with lubricating oil.

realizes reciprocating motion in the X direction, realizing rapid movement and feed movement;
the rack and pinion and linear guide rail adopt a closed dust-proof device, and the dust cover is
light in weight , reliable operation; rack and pinion and linear guide rails are all imported precision
products, effectively ensuring the accuracy of transmission; both ends of the stroke are controlled
by soft limit switches, limit switch control, supplemented by elastic buffers on both sides,

2.6.4 Functional structure, working principle and working characteristics of
auxiliary devices

Air circuit system

The air path of the laser cutting machine has two parts, one part is the cutting gas supplied to
the cutting head, including clean and dry compressed air, high-purity oxygen and high-purity
nitrogen. The other part is auxiliary gas, all of which are clean and dry compressed air, which is
used for the feeding cylinder of the clamping table.
For compressed air, the gas from the compressor enters the air control cabinet through the
gas storage tank and the cold dryer, and then passes through a set of precision air treatment system
to become clean and dry gas, which is divided into two paths, one as cutting gas, Use gas all the
way as a cylinder. Its operating pressure is adjusted by the corresponding pressure regulating
valve.
There are three types of cutting gas: compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen, and these three
gases can be selected according to different requirements. Oxygen is mainly used to cut ordinary
carbon steel; nitrogen is mainly used to cut stainless steel and alloy steel, and compressed air is
mainly used for thin plate cutting when customers do not require very high cutting surface effects.
Different cutting gases are selected for different materials. In addition, the pressure sensor is
installed in the cutting gas system, which ensures that the machine tool can stop working in time
when the gas pressure is not enough, and avoids the scrapping of cutting parts. The air pressure
threshold can be adjusted and set by the screw on the upper part of the pressure sensor, and the
compressed air and oxygen used for cutting can also be adjusted by the program control
proportional control valve.
The role of compressed air in the machine tool: 1. Drive the clamping cylinder, clamp the
worktable, keep the worktable from moving during the cutting process, and make the cutting go
smoothly. 2. Used for auxiliary cutting during cutting. 3. Remove smoke and dust and clean the
cutting surface.
Water circuit system
The water system of the laser cutting machine also includes two parts: one part of the cooling
water comes out of the water chiller, enters the laser source, cools the laser source
15
through the radiator, and returns to the water chiller; the other part is to cool the optical system
and the cutting head by the cooling water.

Oil Lubrication System

The oil lubrication system of the laser cutting machine is composed of an automatic oil pump
and pipeline. The oil pump interval is 4 hours (adjustable), and the oil pump time is 10 seconds
(adjustable). When the oil pump oil level is too low, the oil pump will alarm and sound an alarm.
At this time, standard lubricating oil should be added to the oil pump.

3.5 Laser Safety Notice
The main hazards of laser to the human body are the eyes and skin, and any part of the human
body that is irradiated by the laser will cause burns. Avoid placing any part of the body in the
optical path of the laser equipment to avoid injury caused by misuse.
3.5.1 Eye and skin protection
In laser processing, CO2, YAG laser source, and fiber laser source are usually used. Different
types of lasers cause different damage to the human body. YAG laser and fiber laser may damage
the retina of the eye. Because the wavelength of YAG laser and fiber laser has extremely high
transmittance to the eye, it is more harmful. The harm of CO2 laser is mainly the burn of the cornea
of the eye. Both laser exposures have the potential to cause cataracts in the eyes and the risk of
skin burns. Therefore, when adjusting the laser, corresponding protective measures should be taken
according to the type of laser.
3.5.2 fire protection
Oxygen is often used during laser cutting, coupled with the splashing of sparks during cutting,
oxygen is likely to cause the danger of fire. Therefore, there should be no flammable and explosive
16 -24-
materials in the work area, and corresponding preventive facilities should be provided.
3.6 Electrical Safety
Do not touch any switches with wet hands to avoid electric shock. The parts of the machine
tool with lightning signs indicate that there are high-voltage electrical appliances or electrical
components in these parts. The operator should be extra careful when approaching these parts or
opening and maintaining them to avoid electric shock. Such as: the protective cover of the
position of the servo motor, the junction box behind the column, the transformer cabinet of the
machine tool, the door of the electrical cabinet, etc.
Read the machine manual carefully in order to be familiar with the operation methods of
various functions and corresponding keys.
Do not open the door of the electrical cabinet lightly, and it is forbidden to change the set
machine parameters, potentiometers and timers without authorization. If it needs to be changed, it
must be operated by professionals trained and approved by the equipment manufacturer, and the
parameter values before the change must be recorded, so that the original state can be restored
when necessary.
Do not touch live components in the electrical cabinet when the power is on, such as:
numerical control devices, servo devices, transformers, fans, etc.

Warn
After a power outage, you must wait more than 5 minutes
before touching the terminals. Because there is high voltage
between the power line terminals for a period of time after the
power is cut off. To avoid electric shock, please do not touch.
immediately

3.7 Material Safety Notice

For lasers, optical instruments such as focusing lenses are all manufactured by chemical vapor
deposition. When the material is above the burning point, toxic Se vapor will be generated, which is a
highly toxic substance. In order to improve the transmittance, the compound film of radioactive substance
thorium is coated on the lens, so when the lens is damaged, it should be sent to a professional manufacturer
(or manufacturer) for treatment, so as not to cause harm to the environment.
17 - 23 -
3.8 machine protection
Appoint safety administrators, determine their scope of duties, and conduct safety operations and
safety protection education for laser processing operators.
Designate the laser safety management area, and set up warning signs at the entrances and exits of the
management area, including: the power of the laser processing machine, the type of laser, the prohibition of
outsiders from entering, attention to eye protection, and the name of the safety manager.
When the laser processing machine is not in use, the switch key should be pulled out and kept by a
special person to avoid misoperation by miscellaneous personnel and cause harm. The smoke gas and laser
working gas generated during the processing should be discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe.
Bottles should be placed neatly and firmly.
3.9 Common sense of the user
Operators of laser processing machines must undergo special training to reach a certain level,
and can only work on the premise of the consent of the safety administrator.
The operator of the laser processing machine or the person who is close to the laser during the
use of the laser should wear appropriate laser protective glasses. In the area where the protective
glasses are worn, there must be good indoor lighting to ensure the smooth operation of the operator.
In order to protect the operator, it is necessary to have a processing room or a protective screen
enclosure. The processing room should have a device to protect the laser from spreading and protect
the safety of the operator; when the processing room is opened, the laser shutter should be closed.

different.
---Outer optical path cooling water pipe: PU pipe pressure resistance is not less than 6kgf/cm2, pay
attention to the sealing of pipe joints.
---Filter: The diameter of the filter hole is 100um. It is better to use transparent plastic. The filter element
added between the chiller and the laser must use the standard filter element required by the manufacturer.

a installation conditions
The chiller should be placed stably and at a certain distance from the wall. The installation position of the
chiller must leave sufficient space for air in and out to prevent poor heat dissipation of the chiller.

b machine inspection
Check whether the joints of the water pipe system are loose, and check whether the filter element of the
filter device of the water cooler is tightened.

c installation method
Install the water pipe to the corresponding connection port of the unit, and pay attention to the direction of
the water inlet and outlet; connect the inlet and outlet water pipes according to the marks on the chiller shell,
and connect them to the inlet and outlet of the laser. Do not misplace the direction of the inlet and outlet of the
water pipe. Before installing the water pipe, make sure that there is no garbage and foreign matter in the pipe
outside the chiller. As shown

Figure: Air and water interface

d water quality standard

Open the water inlet valve and add water to the water tank. The water level should be at the
21 - 23 -
 appropriate height marked on the chiller to prevent water from overflowing from the water tank.
The chiller is not allowed to use general tap water, but high-quality pure water, distilled water or
deionized water must be used, otherwise it will cause fouling on the refrigerator of the chiller and
the radiator of the laser, and damage the components of the machine. Do not add any corrosive
liquids.

e Debug machine

Turn on the power, check and ensure that the electrical connection of the single-phase
three-core wire in the unit is correct, turn on the water cooler, and wait for the water
temperature in the water cooler to rise to an appropriate temperature.

f Open steps

Before starting the machine, check that the water pipes of the water chiller are
connected normally, then start the machine, and finally check whether there is any water
leakage at the water pipe joints.

g Precautions

(1) When the water temperature reaches the controlled temperature, the chiller will
automatically perform constant water temperature control, and the water pump in the unit
will continue to operate.

(2) The laser can only be turned on after the water temperature of the cooling water
and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet water reach the values required by
the laser.

(3) When the operating environment is lower than 0°C, the cooling water may freeze
and damage the laser. Customers can add 30% absolute alcohol to the water, and the
freezing point of the cooling water will be within -10°C.

accordance with relevant regulations. Before commissioning, please understand the performance of the
machine tool and read the relevant random technical information. Correct debugging is the basis to
ensure the normal operation of the machine tool. If you have any questions, please contact us in time.
We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in the fastest time.

Note: This debugging method includes the debugging method after the machine tool is powered
on normally. Please refer to Section 4.2.5 for the online debugging of the machine tool.

4.3.1 Laser adjustment and optical path adjustment

a) Installation Precautions:
1) Please read the manual carefully before using the product, and if you have any
questions, please contact the staff of Shandong Leapion Machinery Co., Ltd.;
2) Use the original power cord, and ensure that the laser shell is connected to the ground.
Before powering on, you can use the conduction gear of the multimeter to check whether the
laser shell is effectively connected to the earth (PE yellow-green line);
3) Each control line and voltage of the laser must meet the technical requirements of the
product, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the product, so before the laser is
powered on, please check whether the voltage signals meet the product requirements;
4) Please pay attention to the protection of the optical fiber and the output head of the
optical fiber during the installation of the optical fiber of the laser, and do not bend or apply
force. This part is vulnerable, please pay attention to protection;
5) During the disassembly process of the laser, please pay attention to the dust proof
protection of the lens of the laser fiber output head. If there is dust, please clean it according to
the lens cleaning operation specification. (a. Anhydrous ethanol, with a purity of more than
99.9%; b. Dust-free cotton swabs, do not use ordinary cotton swabs, which are easy to drop
cotton wool and cause secondary pollution of the lens);
6) Start-up work sequence: water cooler (guaranteed to work normally and the water
temperature is suitable, about 25 ℃) - power on the laser - start the control software - the gas
circuit is working normally - the control system is working normally - the laser is ready to emit
light -
—Safety Protection——The cutting system works.
7) Shutdown work sequence: turn off the equipment control system - turn off the laser
25 - 25-
 control signal - cut off the power of the laser
——The water cooler stopped working.
8) Other precautions: a. During the working process of the laser, please pay attention to
the normal operation of the water circuit, gas circuit and circuit, otherwise, please turn off the
power to check the cause of the fault and detection;
9) If there is any failure during the working process of the laser, please record the failure
time, failure phenomenon, and system working status at the time of failure, and then check the
cause of the failure. If you have any questions, please contact Leapion staff.）
b) Adjustment of the coaxiality between the nozzle hole and the laser beam:

white self-adhesive tape

Figure: Adjust Coaxial Step 1
2) Use 10~20 watts of power to punch holes manually.
3) Remove the self-adhesive paper, pay attention to maintain its orientation, so that it can
be compared with the nozzle.
4) Under normal circumstances, there will be a black spot on the self-adhesive paper,
which is burned by the laser. But if the center of the nozzle deviates too much from the
center of the laser beam, the black spot will not be visible (the laser beam hits the wall of
the nozzle).

Fig. Nozzle deviation too large

If the center point is bigger and smaller, please pay attention to whether the conditions are

Figure: Adjust the nozzle position, coaxial with the laser beam
5）Nozzle aperture

Aperture size has a critical impact on cutting quality and piercing quality.
If the nozzle hole diameter is too large, the melt splashed around during cutting may pass
through the nozzle hole, thereby splashing the lens. The larger the aperture, the higher the
probability, the worse the protection of the focusing lens, and the worse the life of the lens.

F. Jogging: Manually jog the Z axis.

G. Back to docking: the process of turning off follow and lifting to the docking position.

32
 Follow-up gain level Lv: The follow-up gain level is from 1 to 30, and the default is 15.
The larger the number of stages, the smaller the average error of the follow-up, the faster the
follow-up action, and the stronger the climbing ability when encountering slopes. But if the
gain is too strong, the system will produce self-oscillation. This parameter can be obtained
through automatic adjustment.
Set follow height: Press <Follow Height> <Follow Low> on the main interface to adjust
the actual follow height in steps of 0.1mm. In addition, press <F2> to enter the parameter
interface, and you can also set the following height. Press <follow on> <follow off> to control
whether to follow or not. After the follower is turned off, the axis will automatically lift up to
the docking coordinates (the default is Z=0, press <F2> to enter the parameter interface, and the
docking coordinates can also be modified)
In addition, in the mode of Ethernet control, the following height is
set by CypCut software.
Dynamic error: In the follow state, this value reflects the real-time error
during follow-up motion.
Distance H between the floating head and the board surface: within the capacitance
measurement range (calibration range), the distance between the floating head and the board
surface = "set following height" + "dynamic error". When the measurement range is exceeded,
"set follow height" + "dynamic error" is equal to the calibration range.
Current Z-axis coordinates: After returning to the origin, the Z-axis establishes a
mechanical coordinate system. Downward movement coordinates increase.
Current capacitance value C: The principle of system sampling is to obtain the distance
by measuring the capacitance between the floating head and the plate. The closer the floating
head is to the plate, the greater the capacitance value. When the floating head touches the plate,
the capacitance will become 0.
Z-axis jog speed: L is low jog speed, H is high jog speed. Press the <Variation> button to

In the main interface, press <F1> key to enter 【Calibration Interface】. As shown below:

1. Servo Calibration
2. Floating head calibration
3. Automatic adjustment

When using BCS100 for the first time, servo calibration must be performed first, then
floating head calibration, and finally automatic adjustment. When used in the future, it is
enough to calibrate the floating head when there is temperature drift, and the servo calibration
and automatic adjustment do not need to be done.
Servo Calibration

The purpose of servo calibration is to eliminate the zero drift of the servo motor. Press

lightly touch the floating head to the surface of the material, press
"[F1] Current" to set the current capacitance value as the capacitance
of the touch plate.
After enabling this function, a method of intelligently
identifying the trend of capacitance changes is used during
Intelligent calibration to determine whether the floating head is in contact
collision with the board. Through this method, the calibration of non-

metallic objects can also be realized without setting the bump
capacitor. In occasions with large interference (such as DIF
value greater than 30), please turn off this function. Otherwise,
when calibrating, the phenomenon of lifting without touching
the board surface may occur.

The calibration process is completed automatically and takes about ten seconds. During the
calibration process, the user can press the "Stop" button to forcefully end the calibration. After
the calibration is completed, there are 2 indicators, and each indicator has four grades of
"excellent", "good", "medium" and "poor". The automatic calibration process is briefly divided
into the following steps:

(1). The floating head slowly moves downwards to detect the collision plate.

(2). After touching the board, move up a certain distance to check the stability of the
sensor.

(3). The floating head slowly moves downward for the second time to detect the plate
collision.

(4). After touching the board, move up the set calibration distance to detect the
smoothness and characteristic curve of the sensor.
If some of the above steps are not executed, and there is an alarm after calibration, it may
be considered that there is a problem with the hardware or the connection line. A simple
way to detect the hardware or connection is: touch the nozzle with a metal to see if the
capacitance changes, if the capacitance changes small or unchanged or always 0, consider
the sensor connection or not working properly. In addition, considering factors such as
safety and electrostatic breakdown, it is not recommended to touch the nozzle directly with
your hands when it is charged.
The meaning of the calibration result is as follows:

36
Stability: It reflects the static characteristics of the capacitor. If the index is unsatisfactory

37
after calibration, it may be due to plate vibration or strong external interference.
Smoothness: It reflects the dynamic characteristics of the capacitance change in the
calibration process.
The indicators calibrated by the above two parameters must be at least "medium",
otherwise the system may not work normally. The ideal situation for these two indicators
is "excellent" or "good".
After pressing <ENT> to save the setting, the capacitance-position curve will be displayed.
A normal curve should be smooth, like this:

If the curve is not smooth, there are fluctuations or burrs, it means that the result is not ideal and
needs to be re-calibrated. If the result after repeated calibration is still unsatisfactory, the user
needs to recheck the hardware installation and connection of the system. In addition, on the main
interface, press

<6> You can also view the calibration curve.

i) Edge cutting function

As shown below:
floating head

split sheet

The edge-seeking cutting function is widely used in plate corner cutting, plate splitting
and residual material cutting. This function supports the cutting head to cut in from the
55
outside of the plate and cut out from the edge of the plate. This function is valid only when
using CypCut software.
Before cutting, it is first necessary to follow the cutting head to the vicinity of the cut-in
point of the plate, and set this position as the edge-seeking height. And open the edge-seeking
cutting function in CypCut software.
Ensure that the difference of the Z-axis coordinates of each entry point of the plate is
within 5mm, so as to prevent some entry points from not being sensed, and some entry points
being sensed prematurely when entering the edge.
When actually performing edge-seeking cutting, the cutting head first descends to the
edge-seeking height, and then performs cutting movement. When the system detects that the
height between the floating head and the plate is less than the "edge-entry sensitivity"
parameter, the system will immediately turn on the follow-up. When the floating head cuts
out of the edge of the board, the system judges that the following error of the floating head
has lasted for a time of "edge-out delay" greater than the "edge-out sensitivity" parameter, and
immediately lifts up to the edge-seeking height.
When using edge-seeking cutting, there are several precautions:
Be sure to set the "edge finding height" before cutting for the first time.
Ensure that the difference of the Z-axis coordinates of each entry point of the plate is
within 5mm, so as to prevent some entry points from not being sensed, and some entry points
being sensed prematurely when entering the edge.
When entering the edge, if the floating head follows ahead of time, the parameter of
"edge-entry sensitivity" should be reduced. If the floating head lags behind to follow, or does
not follow, the "Sensitivity to Entry" parameter should be increased.
When the slope of the plate is large and the cutting speed is fast, it is necessary to
appropriately increase the parameter of "edge sensitivity".
When the capacitance sampling interference is large, or the sparks are large, and the
board vibration is large, the parameter of "outside delay" can be increased appropriately.
By adjusting the "Forward Saturation Speed", the depth of the cut edge can be
suppressed. When this parameter is set too small, it will affect the response speed of
following.
When the edge-seeking cutting function is enabled, when the condition of edge-out
sensitivity is met, lift it up to the edge-seeking height and continue cutting.
j) Input and output port control instructions
BCS100 can be controlled through Ethernet, and at the same time can be controlled
through input and output ports (hereinafter referred to as IO ports). When using Ethernet
control, the IO port control connection line does not need to be connected.
When using input and output port control, the input port function is defined as follows:
56
 Input port Features
IN1 Follow to cutting position
IN2 Follow to piercing location

IN3 Quick lift

IN4 Emergency stop signal

The output port function is defined as follows:

Outlet Features
OUT1 Follow to the cutting position in-position signal
(continuous signal)
OUT2 no definition
OUT3 Alarm signal (at least 200ms duration)
OUT4 Follow to the perforation position in-position signal
(200ms level)
In the interface of [Mechanical Parameters], there is a parameter of "start lifting signal".
When the selection is 0, the lifting signal is not enabled, and the function of IN3 is invalid at
this time. Open IN2 and follow to the piercing location. Close IN2, no action. Turn on IN1,
start the following series of actions (direct follow, segmented piercing, and progressive
piercing can be set in the process parameters), close IN1, and return to docking.
When "enable lifting signal" is set to 1, turn off IN1 and it will not return to dock. Only
when IN3 is turned on will it return to dock.
Take the simplest control method as an example:
Set the parameter of "start lifting signal" to 0. The external PLC sends a signal toI N1 of
BCS100, and the execution process of BCS100 is as follows:

Among them, the process of direct cutting/segmented piercing/gradual piercing is

determined by the setting of [Process Parameters]. In the test interface, the control process of
the input and output ports can be simulated.
k) Preamplifier
The uniquely designed preamplifier can sample and amplify the capacitive signal of the
cutting head and convert it into a digital signal, so that the signal can be transmitted over a
long distance. When the length of the transmission cable is 100 meters, there is basically no
parasitic capacitance, which can ensure that the signal does not attenuate and has strong
stability. The appearance of the preamplifier is shown in the figure below.

58
 Fig. Amplifier Appearance
When the sensor is in use, the following items should be paid attention to:
(1) Dry and pure auxiliary gas should be used for cutting work. When the gas contains
water, oil and other impurities, the working gap will change suddenly, and even cause the
sensor to work abnormally.
(2) Clean the sensor after it is dirty. And when cleaning, clean and dry cotton cloth
should be used to clean, and never use liquid to clean the cutting head and ceramics. Wait
until it is cleaned before connecting the assembly properly.
(3) The nozzle, ceramic body and cable can be replaced at any time. The nozzle can be
changed to any shape and type, but the floating head capacitance calibration must be redone
after replacement.

4.3.3 The function and adjustment of the nozzle

Nozzle
The nozzle is a consumable product, the design of the nozzle and the flow of the jet air
directly affect the quality of the cutting; the manufacturing accuracy of the nozzle is closely
related to the cutting quality. The main functions of the nozzle are：
Prevent debris such as cutting melt stains from bouncing up and entering the cutting
head to damage the focusing lens.
The nozzle can change the state of the cutting gas ejection, and can control the area and
size of the gas diffusion, thus affecting the cutting quality. The picture below shows the
situation of gas ejection when the nozzle is installed and not installed

59
 Figure: Schematic diagram of cutting gas effect with or without nozzle

Influence of Nozzle on Cutting Quality and Selection of Nozzle Aperture

The relationship between nozzle and cutting quality：
When the center of the nozzle is not in the same axis as the center of the laser, the impact
on the cutting quality:
It affects the cutting section. When the cutting gas is ejected, the gas volume is uneven,
so that the cutting section is more likely to have melted stains on one side and not on the other
side. It has little influence on cutting thin plates below 3mm. When cutting 3mm When it is
above the plate, its impact is more serious, and sometimes it cannot be cut.
Affects the quality of sharp corners. When cutting workpieces with sharp corners or
small angles, local over-melting is prone to occur. When cutting thick plates, it may not be
possible to cut。
Affect the perforation, it is unstable during the perforation, the time is not easy to control,
the penetration of the thick plate will cause over-melting, and the penetration conditions are
not easy to grasp, and the impact on the perforation of the thin plate is small.
To sum up, the concentricity between the center of the nozzle and the laser is one of the
important factors that cause cutting quality, especially when the workpiece to be cut is thicker,
its influence will be greater. Therefore, the concentricity between the center of the nozzle and
the laser must be adjusted to obtain a better cutting section.
Note: When the nozzle is deformed or there are melted stains on the nozzle, its influence
on the cutting quality is the same as the above. Therefore, the nozzle should be placed
carefully, and it should not be damaged to avoid deformation; the melted stains on the nozzle
should be cleaned in time . The quality of the nozzle has high precision requirements during
manufacture, and the correct method is also required during installation. If the cutting
conditions are changed due to the poor quality of the nozzle, the nozzle should be replaced in
time.
Choice of nozzle aperture

The difference in nozzle hole diameter is shown in the table below

Nozzle aperture Gas flow rate Melt removal capacity

60
 Small Quick Powerful

Big Slow Weak

Table: Relationship between aperture and auxiliary gas flow rate

The aperture of the nozzle is φ1.0mm, φ1.5mm, φ2.0mm, φ2.5mm, etc. At present,
there are two types of nozzle apertures, φ1.5mm and φ2mm. The difference between the
two is:
Thin plate below 3mm: use φ1.5mm, the cutting surface will be thinner; use φ2mm,
the cutting surface will be thicker, and the corners are prone to melt stains.
Thick plates above 3mm: Due to the high cutting power, the relative heat dissipation
time is relatively long, and the relative cutting time also increases. use
φ1.5mm, the gas diffusion area is small, so it is not stable when used, but it is basically
usable. With φ2mm, the gas diffusion area is large and the gas flow rate is slow, so it is more
stable during cutting.
The hole diameter of φ2.5mm can only be used for cutting thick plates over 10mm.
To sum up, the size of the nozzle aperture has a serious impact on the cutting quality and
perforation quality. At present, laser cutting mostly uses nozzles with apertures of φ1.5mm
and φ2mm.
The larger the diameter of the nozzle hole, the worse the protection of the protective
mirror is, because the sparks of the molten material splash during cutting, and the probability
of bouncing up is very high, which makes the life of the mirror shorter.

4.3.4 Adjustment of beam focus

Introduction
During the laser cutting process, the relative position of the beam focus and the surface
of the cutting plate has a great influence on the cutting quality, and it is very important to
adjust the focus position correctly. Generally, the best focus cutting position of the plate can
be obtained directly by changing the focus trial cutting, and the focus position can be adjusted
by rotating the laser head rotation nut.
Description of the relationship between the focus position and the cutting section
The following table lists the different positions of the laser cutting focus when cutting
different plates, the impact on the punching and cutting section of the plate, and the selection
of the focus position when cutting plates of different materials and different thicknesses. The

After adjusting the sensor adjustment box, the follow-up distance between the nozzle and
the workpiece is mainly determined by the system process parameters, please refer to the
process parameter table

4.3.6 Selection instructions for laser cutting speed

During laser cutting, the choice of cutting speed is determined according to the material
and thickness of the cutting plate. Different cutting speeds will have a great impact on the
quality of laser cutting. Choosing an appropriate cutting speed can not only improve the
62
efficiency of laser cutting, but also get good cutting quality. The influence of different cutting
speeds on cutting quality is discussed below:
If the laser cutting feed speed is too fast, the impact on the cutting quality may cause the
cutting to fail and sparks to fly.
Some areas can be cut off, but some areas cannot be cut off. The entire cutting section is
thicker, but there is no melting stain.
As shown in the figure, the cutting feed speed is too fast, so that the plate cannot be cut
in time, the cut section shows oblique stripes, and the lower half of the plate is melted.

Figure: Cutting effect diagram The influence of too slow feed speed of laser cutting on
cutting quality:

The cutting plate will be over-melted and the cutting section will be rough.
The slit will widen accordingly, causing the entire area to melt at smaller rounded
corners or sharp corners, and the ideal cutting effect cannot be obtained.
The cutting efficiency is low, which affects the production capacity. Selection of
appropriate cutting feed rate:
The feed speed can be judged from the cutting sparks: Generally, the cutting sparks
spread from top to bottom. If the sparks are inclined, the feed speed is too fast; Too slow.
With the appropriate cutting speed as shown in the figure, as shown in Figure 16 below, the
cut surface presents a relatively smooth line, and there is no melting stain on the lower half.

Fig: Effect diagram of cutting sparks produced by cutting speed

63
 4.3.7 Selection instructions for laser cutting gas and pressure
During laser cutting, different cutting gases are selected according to the material of the
cutting plate. The choice of cutting gas and its pressure has a great influence on the quality of
laser cutting. The main functions of the cutting gas are: combustion-supporting and heat
dissipation, timely blowing off the molten stains generated by cutting, preventing the cutting
molten stains from rebounding upwards into the nozzle, protecting the focusing lens, etc.
1) The influence of cutting gas and pressure on cutting quality:
The cutting gas helps to dissipate heat and support combustion, and blows off the molten
stains, so as to obtain a better quality cutting section.
a When the pressure of the cutting gas is insufficient, it will have the following effects
on the cutting quality: melting stains will occur during cutting, and the cutting speed cannot
meet the production efficiency.
b When the pressure of the cutting gas is too high, the impact on the cutting quality: the
cutting surface is rough, and the slit is wide; at the same time, it will cause partial melting of
the cutting section, which cannot form a good cutting section.
2) The influence of cutting gas pressure on perforation:
a When the gas pressure is too low, the laser is not easy to penetrate the cutting plate,
and the drilling time increases, resulting in low productivity
b When the gas pressure is too high, it will cause the penetration point to melt and form a
larger melting point, which will affect the cutting quality. When laser drilling, generally
higher gas pressure is used for drilling thin plate parts, while lower gas pressure is used for
drilling thick plate parts.
When the laser cutting machine cuts ordinary carbon steel, the thicker the material, the
lower the pressure of the cutting gas. When cutting stainless steel with nitrogen, the cutting
gas pressure increases relatively with the thickness of the material, and the cutting gas
pressure is always at a high pressure.
In short, the choice of cutting gas and pressure during laser cutting must be adjusted
according to the actual situation during cutting. In specific applications, different cutting
parameters need to be selected according to specific conditions.

4.3.8 Influence of laser cutting power on cutting quality

During laser cutting, the choice of laser power also has a certain impact on the cutting
quality. The cutting power needs to be determined according to the material and thickness of
the cutting plate. If the power is too large or too small, a good cutting section cannot be
obtained.
a During laser cutting, if the laser power is too small, cutting will not be possible.
64
 b When the laser power is set too high, the entire cutting surface will be melted, and the
kerf will be too large, so good cutting quality cannot be obtained.
c. When the laser power setting is insufficient, cutting melting stains will occur, and
scars will appear on the cutting section.
Therefore, if the laser power is set appropriately, and with the appropriate cutting gas
and pressure, good cutting quality can be obtained without melting spots.

b) User Interface

70
 The black background in the center of the interface is the drawing board, and the white
frame with shadows represents the machine tool layout, and there is a grid display. The grid
and the rulers above and to the left of the drawing area will change as the view zooms in and
out, providing reference for drawing.
Right above the interface is the title bar, menu bar, and toolbar from top to bottom. The
toolbars are arranged in groups of very obvious large icons, and most of the commonly used
functions can be found here. The menu bar includes the "文件" menu and 5 toolbar menus, "
常用", "绘图", 排样", "数控" and "视图". Select these 5 menus to switch the display of the
toolbar. There is a toolbar called the "快速访问栏" on the left side of the title bar, which is
used to quickly create, open, and save files. Undo and redo can also be done quickly here.
On the left side of the interface is the "绘图工具栏", which we sometimes directly call
the "左侧工具栏ar" in the subsequent instructions; here provides basic drawing functions, and
the first five buttons are used to switch drawing modes, including selection, node editing,
Sequential editing, dragging and zooming; the other buttons below correspond to the
71
corresponding graphics, click them to insert a new graphics on the drawing board. There are
three shortcut keys at the bottom, which are center alignment, exploding the selected graphics
and rounding.
On the right side of the drawing area is the "工艺工具栏", sometimes referred to as the "
右侧工具栏" in subsequent instructions, including a "Craft" button and 17 square buttons;
clicking the "Craft" button will open the "Craft" Dialog box, you can set most of the process
parameters; 17 color square buttons, each corresponding to a layer, click them when the
graphic is selected, it means to move the selected graphic to the specified layer; click them
when no graphic is selected, it means setting Default layer for next drawing. The first white
square represents a special layer, "背景图层". The graphics on this layer will be displayed in
white and will not be processed. The last two layers are the first processing layer and the last
processing layer respectively.
The bottom of the interface includes three scrolling ribbon text windows. The left one is
the "绘图窗口", where all relevant prompts or input information of drawing commands are
displayed; the middle window is the "系统窗口", where other system messages except
drawing will be displayed, and each message has a time Marked and displayed in different
colors according to the importance of the message, including hints, warnings, errors, etc. The
window on the right is the "Alarm Window", where all alarm information will be displayed
with red background and white text.
The bottom of the interface is the status bar, which displays different prompts according
to different operations. The left side of the status bar is the basic information of the drawn
processing graphics, and the right side of the status bar includes several common information,
including the position of the mouse, the processing status, and the position of the laser head.
The next fine-tuning distance parameter is used to use the direction keys to quickly move the
graphics, and the last display is the model of the control card.
The rectangular area on the right side of the interface is called the "控制台", and most
common operations related to control are performed here. From top to bottom are coordinate
system selection, manual control, processing control, processing options and processing count

c) Toolbar
CypCut's toolbar uses a style called Ribbon (ribbon), which divides commonly used
functions into columns and partitions, and uses many large-sized buttons for easy operation.
The image below helps you understand this new type of toolbar:

72
 The entire toolbar is divided into 4 "分页", which can be selected through the 4 menus of
"开始", "绘图", "数控" and "视图". When selecting special objects such as text, there will
also be tabs related to the selected content; during processing, the "正在加工" tab will appear,
and you cannot switch to other tabs before stopping.
The toolbars of each page are arranged in multiple "分栏" according to their functions,
such as "查看" and "几何变换"; the first button of the general column is large in size; the
lower right corner of some columns There will be a small button " " called the "拓展按钮"
which will open a related dialog.
Please note that there is a small triangle at the bottom of some large-sized buttons, which
is called a "下拉按钮". Press this button and a "下拉菜单" related to this button will appear,
providing richer operation options. When the mouse moves over this button, two distinct
rectangles will be displayed. Pressing the upper part of the button directly executes the
function corresponding to the button, while pressing the lower part of the button opens a menu.
If you've used Office 2007, Windows 7, or other programs that use the Ribbon style
before, you're probably already familiar with this arrangement. Even if it's your first time,
we're sure you'll love the style in no time.

d) File menu

There is a special menu in the upper left corner of the toolbar called "File Menu", which
contains some menu items related to files，click" "can open the menu,as shown below:

73
 Please notice that the recently used files are listed on the right side of the menu, among
which the files saved by CypCut have a" "icon，This is to make it easier for you to find the
files that have been designed last time.
"导入" in the menu can be used to import another file to the drawing board without
clearing the existing graphics on the drawing board. If you just want to open an external file,
just use "打开".
The menu "用户参数" is used to set some parameters related to usage habits; the menu "
参数备份" allows users to back up all parameters as a compressed file; the menu "诊断窗口"
is used for system diagnosis and monitoring, and the menu "BCS100 监控界面" It is used to
monitor and display the BCS100 height controller interface in the software. Click "关于" in the

 a) Import graphics

Click Open File on the quick launch bar in the upper left corner of the interface"
"button,a file open dialog box pops up, select the graphics you need to open. The right
side of the open file dialog box provides a quick preview window to help you quickly find the
file you need.

If you want to draw a part on site through CypCut software, please click New" "button，
then use the buttons on the drawing toolbar on the left to draw, see the relevant
chapters for details.

b) Preprocessing
While importing graphics, CypCut will automatically remove extremely small graphics,
remove duplicate lines, merge connected lines, automatically smooth, sort and disperse.
Generally, you can start to set process parameters without other processing. If the automatic
processing process cannot meet your requirements, you can open the menu "文件" - "用户参
数" for configuration.
Generally, the software thinks that the graphics to be processed should be closed graphics.
If the file you open contains unclosed graphics, the software may prompt you and display it in
red. But this function may be turned off, to view the unclosed graphics on the drawing board,
you can click the common menu bar‚显示"button" "and" "button to highlight unclosed

75
shapes; can also click the large button on the far left of the toolbar"选择", then click"选择不封

76
闭图形"to select all unclosed shapes.
If you need to manually split graphics under certain circumstances, please click"优化
"then click" "button，then click the mouse where you want to split。To merge
graphics, please select the graphics to be merged, and then click" "button

c) Process settings

In this step, you may use most of the functions in the "工艺设置" column under the
common menu bar，Including setting lead-in and lead-out lines, setting compensation,

etc.Large button" "can be used to set lead-in and lead-out lines，

button" "Used to set gouging, notching or capping parameters；

button" "for slot compensation；button" "used to insert small micro-joints

without cutting in the graph；button" "can reverse the single graph；
button" "used to set cooling points in the graph.Click‚ ‛button，Then click the
place you want to set as the starting point of the graph to change the starting point of the graph.
If you click outside the graph and then click on the graph, you can manually draw an lead-in
line.
As a quick start tutorial, you can press Ctrl+A to select all graphics, then click the "引线"
button, set the parameters of the leader, and then click OK, the software will automatically find
a suitable position to join the lead-in and lead-out according to your settings Wire. Click the
small triangle under "引线" and select "检查引入引出" to check the legality of lead-in and
lead-out lines, and select "区分内外模" to automatically optimize the lead according to the
inner and outer molds.

Click on the right toolbar" "button，Detailed cutting process parameters can be set.
The "图层参数设置" dialog box contains almost all parameters related to the cutting effect.

77
 d) Tool path planning
Sort the graph as desired in this step. Click Sort under the Common or Nest menu

bar" " button can be sorted automatically. Click the small triangle below the sort button
to select the sorting method, and control whether to allow the automatic sorting process to
change the direction of the graphics and whether to automatically distinguish between inner
and outer molds.

If the automatic sorting cannot meet the requirements, you can click the " " button on
the left toolbar to enter the manual sorting mode, and click the graphics one by one with the
mouse to set the processing order. Hold down the mouse and draw a line from one graph to the
other to specify the order between the two graphs.

Select several graphics that have been arranged in order, and then click the" "button
of Group under the Common or Nesting menu bar to fix their order, and the subsequent
automatic and manual sorting will no longer affect the "群组" Inside the graph, the "群组" will
always act as a whole.
Select a "群组", then right-click to select sort within the group, and the graphics within
the group can also be automatically sorted.
e) Inspection before processing
Before actual cutting, the processing trajectory can be checked. Click the alignment
button to align the graphics accordingly. Drag the interactive preview progress bar (under the
drawing menu bar) as shown in the figure below to quickly view the processing sequence of
graphics. Click the interactive preview

Click the " " button on the "控制台" to perform simulated processing, and the
speed of simulated processing can be adjusted through the " 模拟速度" function on the

" " page.

f) Actual processing
Please note that this step must be run on the actual machine tool, and must be supported
78
by the dongle and the control card.
Before formal processing, it is necessary to match the graphics on the screen with the
machine tool. Click the " " button on the left side of the arrow key on the "控制台" to
see the relative positional relationship between the graphics to be processed and the machine
tool format on the screen. The corresponding relationship is calculated by matching the stop
mark on the screen with the position of the laser head on the machine tool. The figure below
shows several common coordinate marks on the screen. When you click "Preview", the
"Docking Point" will be translated to the "Laser Head Position". Visually, the graphics as a
whole have been translated.

If the "激光头位置" shown by the red cross cursor does not match the laser head position
on the actual machine tool, please check whether the machine origin position is correct, and
correct it by "数控" -> 回原点". If after previewing, it is found that all or part of the graphics
are outside the frame of the machine tool, it means that the stroke range may be exceeded
during processing.

Click the " " button under the common menu bar to change the relative relationship
between the graphics and the docking points. For example, if the laser head is located at the
lower left corner of the workpiece to be processed, then set the stop point as the lower left
corner, and so on.

After checking on the screen, click the" "button on the"控制台", the system
will control the machine tool to walk around the outermost frame of the graphics to be
processed, and you can use this to check whether the processing position is correct. You can

79
also click the " " button to run completely along the graphics to be processed
without turning on the laser, so as to check whether there may be improper processing in more
detail.

Finally, click the " "button to start the formal processing, and click the

" "button to pause the processing. During the pause, you can manually control the
laser head up and down, manually switch the laser, gas, etc.; during the pause, you can press

the " " button to trace along the processing track; click the

" " button to continue processing.

Click the " "button to stop processing, and the laser head can automatically
return to the corresponding point according to your settings. As long as you do not change the
shape of the graph or start a new round of processing, click the button, the system will allow

you to locate the place where you stopped last time, and click the button " " to
continue processing from the place where you stopped last time.

5.4.3 Graphic manipulation

CypCut provides common drawing functions, which can be easily used from the drawing
toolbar on the left. Most of these drawing functions are similar to AutoCAD, and they are very
intuitive to use. This manual will not introduce them in detail. If you have any questions, please
contact customer service personnel Or Bo Chu Electronics for help. The following will introduce
some special graphic operations of CypCut as a special software for laser cutting.
Graphic display effect
The first column "Display" under the common menu bar provides a number of buttons to
help control the display effect, as shown in the figure below:

80
 Click the button in the above picture, the display effect will take effect immediately, and
you can see the change of the display effect in the drawing board. Please pay attention to the
display changes of the button itself. When the light yellow background color is on, it means
that the corresponding effect has been turned on. If there is no light yellow background color, it
means that the corresponding display effect has not been turned on. For example, when the

status is " ", the graphics processing path will be displayed with arrows on the drawing
board, and when the status is " ", the arrows on the graphics will disappear.

When you click the " " button when a graphic is selected, the selected graphic
will be displayed in the center of the page, and if you click directly without selecting any
graphic, the overall graphic will be displayed in the center of the page.
Click " " in the lower right corner of the column to open a dialog box for more detailed
control of the drawing board, including enabling and disabling key point automatic snapping,
enabling and disabling rulers, and controlling mouse picking accuracy, etc.
Roll the mouse wheel on the drawing board to zoom the view, press F3 to display all
graphics in the center on the screen, and press F4 to display the machine format range in the
center on the screen. Click the right button of the mouse on the drawing board -> Zoom to
select the above operation.

select graphics
CypCut provides rich graphics selection methods. The most basic operation is "click", and the
graphic can be selected by clicking the mouse on the graphic. Another more common
operation is "frame selection", drag the mouse to form a semi-transparent marquee on the
screen to select graphics. There are two types of "frame selection". When dragging the mouse
from left to right, a blue semi-transparent rectangle with a solid line frame will be displayed,
and only the graphics that are completely covered in the rectangle will be selected; when
dragging the mouse from right to left , to display a cyan semi-transparent rectangle with a
dotted line frame. As long as any part of the graph is within the rectangle, the graph will be
selected.

A schematic diagram of the two options is shown below. The left picture is selected
from left to right, BC will be selected, the right picture is selected from right to left, ABCD

81
will be selected. Using these two methods flexibly can select the graphics you need more

82
conveniently.

Regardless of "click" or "frame selection", if you press the Shift key while selecting, you
can add or deselect graphics without clearing the original selection.

Click the "Select" button, a drop-down menu will appear, through which you can
perform advanced selection operations, including selecting unclosed graphics, selecting
similar graphics, selecting all external or internal molds, selecting all graphics smaller than
the specified size, etc. Among them, "Select Similar Figures" allows you to select all similar
figures on the drawing board. For example, select a 5mm circle first, and then click "Select
Similar Figures" to select all 5mm circles.

geometric transformation
The "Geometric Transformation" column under the common menu bar provides a wealth
of geometric transformation functions. Before using it, select the graphics you want to
transform. Most common geometric transformations can be completed by clicking the
"Geometric Transformation" drop-down triangle, such as mirroring , rotate, align, scale, etc.a)

a) size change
CypCut provides 7 fast size transformations, which can be
completed through the drop-down menu under the "Size" button. Click
the small triangle under the "Size" button to open a drop-down menu,
which provides an operation to change the size of the selected graphic.
As shown on the right:

83
 When the state of the lock in the interface ，The length and width are locked

according to the size ratio of the original image, if you want to enter the length and width

separately，click‚ ‛Button can unlock the state，button becomes‚ ‛state.

‚Zoom Center” can specify the positional relationship between the new graphics and

the original graphics after zooming. For example, if you select “Upper Left”, it means that

the new graphics and the original graphics will be aligned according to the upper left corner
after transformation, and the other parts will be scaled based on the upper left corner.

Please note: the lead-in and lead-in lines and kerf compensation set for graphics will not
be transformed at the same time, and the values of lead-in and lead-in lines and kerf
compensation will remain unchanged after the size is modified.

b) Interactive geometric transformation

CypCut provides 3 kinds of interactive geometric transformations, including interactive
scaling, rotation at any angle and mirroring at any angle, through which more detailed
geometric transformations can be achieved. Before performing these operations, first select
the graphic to be operated, then click the corresponding menu or button, and then operate
84
according to the prompts at the bottom of the screen。

For example, if a rectangle is rotated 45° based on its lower left corner, you can follow

the steps below：

First select the rectangle to be operated, then click the small triangle under "Geometric
Transformation" to open the drop-down menu, select

"Rotate at any angle", the bottom of the screen prompts "Please specify the base point:",
move the mouse to the lower left corner of the rectangle, and the mouse will automatically
snap to the lower left corner, as shown in the figure below：

Click the mouse, the bottom of the screen prompts "Please specify the rotation starting
point or rotation angle:", at this time, directly input 45, and press Enter to complete the
operation。

If you do not know the rotation angle in advance, but want to rotate the rectangle to
align with another shape, then the first 4

Same as above, start from step 5 and proceed as follows: move the mouse to the lower
right corner of the rectangle, click the mouse, and a horizontal line will be formed at this time
as the starting line of the rotation. The screen prompts "Please specify the rotation destination
point". At this time, move the mouse, and the graph will rotate with the mouse. Click the
mouse at the desired rotation destination to complete the operation. As shown below：

85
 The operation of interactive zooming and mirroring at any angle is similar, so I won’t

go into details here

c) Quick pan and copy

CypCut software allows you to use the direction keys to quickly pan the graph. After
selecting the graph, press any direction key, and the graph will shift a distance in the
corresponding direction. The distance parameter is in the lower right corner of the main

interface.‚ ‛ window input。This function can help you quickly move away

from a certain graphic temporarily, and then focus on the design of other graphics.

Then quickly move back to the original place, because the fine-tuning distance
parameters can be precisely controlled, you don't have to worry about the deviation of the
graphic position difference.

Press the arrow keys while pressing the Ctrl key, the selected graphics will be copied.
For example, pressing "Ctrl+Right " will copy the selected graphic at 100mm from the right.

Coordinate and parameter input

In some cases, it is desirable to plot with precise coordinates. CypCut allows you to
directly input coordinates, coordinates

The input format is <X coordinate><comma,><Y coordinate>, for example, to input

coordinates (100, 100), enter "100, 100". The entered coordinates and parameters are shown
in blue.

Most drawing operations allow both mouse manipulation and direct input of coordinates.
86
The following demonstrates drawing a rounded rectangle with a length of 300mm, a width of
200mm, and rounded corners of 25mm.

1） click‚ ‛icon，Screen Tips‚Please specify the starting point‛

you can modify the content, style, size, etc. of the text. As shown below：

Note that once the text is converted to curves, the above options are no longer available.
If you want to make a text with a specific font and a specific effect, please design it first and
then convert it into a curve

graphics optimization

When importing external graphics, CypCut will automatically optimize the graphics. If
you need to manually optimize the graphics, you can use the function of the
"Optimize"button button under the common menu bar, as shown in the figure below：

Select the graphics to be processed, click the corresponding button, and then operate
according to the prompts.

a ) Smooth curve
Select the polyline to be optimized, and then click the "Curve Smoothing" , a
dialog box will display a prompt to input the curve smoothing accuracy, directly enter
89
the desired fitting accuracy and press Enter.
The figure on the right shows the comparison
between the original curve and the smoothed curve.
In order to facilitate the observation of the effect, the
fitting accuracy value entered here is relatively large.
In actual use, users are required to perform fitting
according to the processing accuracy they need.

b ) Curve Split

Curve splitting is to break the closed graph into two graphs, and the user can edit the two

graphs separately click‚ ‛button，Click the mouse where you want to split. The
curve splitting process can continue until ESC cancels the command or switches to other
commands.

c) Merge connected lines

Graphics drawn with AutoCAD often contain visually connected, but not actually connected
graphics, which can be merged by merging connected lines. Select the graphics to be merged,
then click " ", enter the merge precision, and confirm.

Please note that the visual end point of the graphics is not necessarily the geometric end
point of the graphics, there may be redundant backtracking lines at the end point, these
graphics need to be split by "curve split", delete the redundant graphics, and then merge.
90
 d) remove small graphics
Sometimes the imported graphics may contain visually imperceptible graphics, resulting
in a small display size, or moving to an abnormal position during processing. You can use the
"remove small graphics" function to delete such graphics, click the "remove small graphics"
button on the toolbar, set the graphics size range, and then confirm. Graphics smaller than
this size will be deleted, other graphics will be kept.

e) remove duplicate lines

This function is used to eliminate visually overlapping graphics to only one, click
"remove duplicate lines", all graphics will be searched and cleaned.

5.4.4 process settings

This section introduces the process setting related functions provided by CypCut. Since
most of the process parameters are directly related to the material to be cut, the laser used, the
air pressure, etc., please set them according to the actual process requirements. All parameters
mentioned here, including those in the pictures, are examples only and should not be
considered as guidelines.

Warn! Inappropriate or wrong parameters may lead to poor cutting effect or even
damage the machine tool, please set carefully.

Lead-in and lead-out linesa)

a )Distinguish between internal and external molds

When an external file such as DXF is opened, CypCut automatically distinguishes

between internal and external modules. If the relationship between internal and external
modules is changed due to any change in the graph during the editing process, click the
"Sort" button to distinguish the internal and external modules again. Any sort method can be
used to distinguish the internal and external modules (you need to select "Distinguish Internal
and External Modules when sorting", which is located in the drop-down menu of the sorting
button and is selected by default). Alternatively, click the "lead" button to pull down the
91
 triangle and select "Distinguish between inside and outside".

CypCut distinguishes internal and external modes according to the enveloping relation.
It always takes the outermost layer as the outer mode, the next layer of the outer mode as the
inner mode, the next layer of the inner mode and then the outer mode, and so on. The
unclosed pattern cannot form a layer. If you want a positive cut from a certain layer, you can
select all the shapes from this layer and inside, group them, and then use the "within group
sort" to distinguish between the inside and the outside.

When adding leads, the outer die is positive cut and introduced from the outside, and the
inner die is negative cut and introduced from the inside. To manually set negative cutting and

positive cutting, select the graph to be set and click the " " under the common
menu bar.

b) Automatic lead-in and lead-out lines

Select the graphics that need to set the lead-in and lead-out lines, click the icon
under the common menu bar, and set the parameters of lead-in and lead-out lines in the pop-
up window, as shown in the figure below:

92
 The supported lead types include arc, line, and line plus arc. The supported parameters
include lead type, Angle, length, and radius. You can also choose whether to add small round
holes at the beginning of the lead-in line.

When the arc introduction is selected, no matter how large the Angle is set, the end of
the arc will remain tangent to the figure to be cut, as shown on the right. The Angle set at this
time is actually the Angle between the line at the beginning and end of the lead and the figure
to be cut. The lead line is similar.

93
 Note that automatically selecting the appropriate lead-in position will determine the
lead-in position of the graph by the preset priority vertex or priority long edge, so the lead-in
position, type, and other parameters before the graph will be overridden. If you have fixed
requirements for the lead position, you can choose to set a uniform position according to the
total length of the graph or change the lead position without changing the type option.

c) Set the lead wire manually

You can manually modify the lead wire by clicking the 'button on the toolbar. Clicking
on the graph changes the position of the lead-in line, but does not change the Angle and
length.

Click (point A) outside the graph and then click (point B) on the graph to draw A
straight line from point A to point B.

d) Check the incoming and outgoing lines

You can check the validity of the lead that has been set by clicking the small triangle
under the "lead" button and selecting "Check Lead in and lead out". This function will
shorten the lead that is too long so that it does not cross with other shapes. Click "Distinguish
between Inside and Outside modes" to determine the lead position according to the set inside
and outside modes.
94
 e) Overcutting, notching and sealing

Under the common menu bar, there are three optional buttons in the " " for
setting Seal, notch, overcut. Select the graph you want to set and click the corresponding
button. The setting of the notch/over-cut size is only effective if the notch/over-cut is set
later. The previously set notch/over-cut size remains unchanged.

cutting gap compensation

Select the shape you want to compensate and click the " ' button on the toolbar to
compensate.

The width of the slit should be measured according to the actual cutting results. The
compensated track is represented in white on the drawing board. The compensated track will
be run during machining. The compensated original will not be processed and will only be
displayed on the drawing board for ease of operation.

The direction of slit compensation can be selected manually, or can be judged

automatically according to the positive cutting and negative cutting. The inner mold is
shrunk and the outer mold is expanded.

When compensating slit, you can choose to make a rounded or right Angle transition to

95
the corner, as shown in the figure below:

96
 In the figure, green is the original figure, white is the compensated track, and light
yellow is the vertical line made from the corner of the original figure. It can be seen from the
figure that after compensation on both sides of the vertical line, the slit edge can be
guaranteed to coincide with the original figure, but the corner needs a transition. Usually a
rounded transition ensures that the cut edges remain in line with the original image during
the transition, and runs smoother.

To facilitate selection, you can edit the common compensation value under the common
configuration.

To cancel compensation, select the graph to be cancelled and click the "Clear" button
and select "Cancel Compensation" or select the "Cancel compensation" button under "Slit
Compensation".

microjunction

Microlink is used to insert an uncut microlink into the track. At this point, the laser will
be turned off. Whether to turn off the gas and follow is determined by the parameters related
to the short space shift during the cutting. The microlink is shown as a notch in the drawing
board, as shown below:

To add a micro-link, click the 'button on the toolbar and click where you want to
add a micro-link.

A microlink that you can click in succession to insert multiple microlinks until you
press ESC to cancel or switch to another command. You can click not only on the graph, but
also on the compensated track to insert the microlink.

Please directly enter the length setting of microlink in the drawing window at the
bottom of the software. The new parameter will take effect after the setting.

In addition to adding microconnections manually, CypCut also provides automatic

97
microconnections. Click the button under the small triangle to the right of the "Micro Link"
button, set the parameters in the dialog box that appears, and then OK. You can choose by
quantity,

For example, 10 microlinks are added to each figure, or one microlink is inserted by
distance, such as every 100mm.

If you want to modify the separate part, click the "Micro Link" button in the "Micro
Link" drop-down menu and "Burst Micro Link" button. The separate and open figure will be
treated as a separate entity for modification.

To delete the micro link, select the graph that you want to delete, click the "Clear"
button, and select "Clear the micro link".

Group

The "group" in CypCut refers to the combination of multiple graphics and even
multiple "groups" to form a "group". The entire "group" will be viewed as a whole, and the
internal The order, positional relationship between graphics, and layers are all fixed, and
their interior will not be affected when operations such as sorting and dragging are
performed.

Select the graphics that need to be grouped, and click‚ ‛button to combine the
selected graphics into a group. If you want to break up a group, please select the group and
click "Split" on the toolbar. If you want to break up all groups on the drawing board, please
click the small triangle under "Group", and then select "Split All Groups".

If there is a figure in the "group" that can contain all other figures, it is called the
outline. contoured

A "group" can be thought of as a "part". The Outline of the Part will appear in bold on
the drawing tablet. A "part" has "outer contour" and "inner hole", which is the basis of
nesting between "parts" and "parts".

98
 Although CypCut software allows arbitrary graphics to be grouped and operated as a
whole, it is still recommended that users use the group function "logically" and try to group
only graphics that meet the logical conditions of "parts". In the future we may use the terms
"group" and "part" indiscriminately.

Please note that CypCut software always groups the "co-edge" graphics to ensure the
integrity of these graphics. In addition, if a "group" is bridged with other graphics or
"groups", the result must be a "group", also to ensure the integrity of the graphics.

a) sorting of groups
The parts are sorted as a whole, based on the outer contour or the first graphic, and the
order of the graphics inside the part will not change during the sorting.If you need to sort the
graphics inside the group without breaking the group, you can select the group, right-click,
and select "Sort Inside the Group".‚"Sort within group" operation will not change the order
of graphics in subgroups within the group. "Sort within groups"The order of the graphics is
only related to the geometric characteristics of the graphics, and has nothing to do with the
layer to which it belongs. The sorting process automatically distinguishes the inner and outer
molds according to the geometric inclusion relationship.

b) group processing
The group (part) is processed as a
whole, and the processing is completed
continuously. No other graphics will be
inserted during the processing. Even if
the group (part) contains graphics of
multiple layers, they are also processed
continuously. Group pre-punching also
follows this rule.
Please note that regardless of the
graphics order inside the part, the outer
contour of the part is always processed
last, please sort it before processing.

99
 common side
Combining workpieces with the same boundary and sharing a boundary can save a lot of
processing length and improve efficiency. In CypCut, when the boundary distance between
two graphics is less than

0.1 mm can be co-edged, and CypCut provides the function of automatic adsorption for
dragging two graphics together for co-edging.

Select two or more graphics that need to be co-edged, and then

click the toolbar Up‚ ‛button，CypCut will try to co-edge

the selected graph. If the selected graph does not meet the
condition of co-edge, the bottom left of the interface .
The 'drawing' window will display a prompt message:

At present, CypCut only supports co-edges around the graphics, and cannot co-edge the
straight lines in the depressions inside the graphics.

After co-edge, the graphics participating in the co-edge will be combined into a group. If
the graphics participating in coedge contain other graphics inside, such as small round holes,
please combine the graphics and all the graphics inside into a group before coedge, otherwise,
the relationship between the internal graphics and the group after coedge It will become
meaningless, and it will be difficult to determine the processing order and the relationship
between the inner and oute

a) Common-side automatic adsorption

When dragging a graphic in CypCut, if it moves to a position that may be co-edged,

CypCut will try to automatically absorb and the corresponding prompt information is
displayed. You can simply drag two graphics that need to be co-edged together. When the two
graphics are close, the automatic adsorption function will help you quickly locate them. Even

100
when many graphics are selected and dragged together, they can also be positioned quickly.

101
 Once the two graphics are close together and have the same border, just select them and
press the "Coedge" button to complete the coedge. If you want to disassemble the co-edged
parts to continue editing, or to set their order, please select the parts, and then click "Separate"
under the common menu bar. After editing, you can press the "Group" button Merge them
again.

b) Common Edge with Compensation

If you want to keep the kerf compensation after coedge, please perform compensation on
the graphics that need to coedge first, and then perform coedge. In any case, "co-edge" keeps
the processing track unchanged. If the co-edge graphic contains compensation, then after "co-
edge", the compensated track will be retained, and the original image will disappear, as shown
in the figure below:

In fact, in the above figure, the original image A cannot share the edge with the image B,
only the compensated trajectory P and the image B can share the edge. Even if picture B is
moved to be adjacent to picture A, it still cannot be co-edge, because picture A is not the track
to be processed.

bridging
When a workpiece is composed of multiple parts, but you don't want to scatter after
cutting, you can connect them through "bridging". At the same time, this feature also reduces
the number of perforations. Using the "Bridge" function multiple times can also achieve the
effect of "one stroke" for all graphics.
102
 To bridge two graphs, click the‚ ‛，Then draw a straight line on the screen, and all
the graphics that intersect with the straight line will be "bridged" two by two. As shown below:

Two parameters need to be specified for bridging. The first parameter specifies the
maximum distance between adjacent curves. When the distance between two graphics is less
than the specified value, bridging will be performed. The second parameter specifies the width
of the bridge.

Please note that after bridging, the graphics will become a whole. Before the "one-
stroke" cutting is completed, any part may not be cut. Special attention should be paid to the
thermal impact changes caused by this.

Cooling point

Click under the common menu bar ‛Click the button on the corresponding position
of the graph to set a cooling point at this position. After the cutting reaches the cooling point,
the laser will be turned off, and the blowing will be delayed according to the cooling point
related settings in the global parameters, and then the laser will be turned on for normal

cutting. The cooling point is displayed as a solid point in the drawing pad, as shown in the
figure below:

Like micro-joints, cooling points can also be inserted by clicking consecutively. Cooling
103
points can still be added after micro-connection, compensation and other processes.

To delete a cooldown, Shift-click the cooldown to delete.

Scanning

When the graphics to be cut are regular graphics (such as rectangles, full circles,
polygons) and are arranged regularly, connecting the line segments in the same direction
through scanning and cutting for flying cutting will greatly increase the cutting speed and save
cutting time.

Before scanning and cutting, it is recommended that the user sort the graphics to be
scanned. This operation can optimize the path of scanning and cutting and save the time of
moving.

Click under the common menu bar ‛，Enter the scanning and cutting parameter

setting interface.

The starting position of the knife is used to set the starting position of scanning and
cutting; the minimum scanning line length refers to the minimum actual cutting after scanning.

Line segment length, if the length of the actual cut line segment is less than the given
"minimum scan line length" after scanning, the scan cutting will not give any results, and it
will prompt "detection of a curve that does not meet the scanning conditions",At this time, it is
recommended that users increase the the "minimum scan line length" parameter value.

104
 Under the scan button ‛Applicable to rectangles and straight lines in

the same direction ‛ It is suitable for the natural continuous cutting of arcs
and circles. If you select "Sort the arcs first and then scan", the circles or arcs are sorted from
top to bottom and then scanned. The scanned graphics automatically become a group.

The scanning and cutting example diagram and its partial enlargement are as follows:

105
layout
The nesting function is used to reasonably arrange the given parts on the plate with the
highest utilization rate. CypCut supports one-click nesting, and also provides a number of
optimization parameters for you to fine-tune, such as: part spacing, margin parameters,
rotation

Angle, automatic edge co-edge and residual material management, etc. Click on the

Common tab or Nesting tab ‛button for this function。

To nest, please specify a certain size of the board. You can draw or import a shape and
select it, choose

Select layout tab‚ ‛button, click "Set Selected Parts as Plate"; or right-click the
graphic, and select

"Set as sheet". You can also set the length, width and quantity of standard plates in the
automatic layout interface by clicking the "Nesting" button. Similarly, parts and quantities can
also be set in a similar way. The picture before layout is as follows:

Automatic nesting needs to set some parameters. "Part spacing" means that there will be
106
a space between parts that is not smaller than the set size; the "Sheet edge" parameter specifies
the plate frame left by the part nesting; "Rotation angle interval" means that the parts are
rotated during nesting For the angle of adjustment, if relative rotation between the part and the
plate is not allowed, please select "No rotation"; "Nesting direction" refers to the direction in
which the part is expected to be attached to the plate.

‚"Nesting strategy" refers to the strategy used by the program to calculate the nesting
results. Automatic nesting currently provides five strategies:

Search type: according to the outline of the space to be arranged, search for the parts with
matching shapes and enter them, and compare the results among the parts tight;

Stacking: The height of the space occupied by the parts of this layout strategy increases
on average; the height of the space occupied by the parts of the layout result is lower and more
average, and a larger rectangular residual material can be generated;

Array type: fewer types of parts are arrayed into the plate; especially the layout of a
single part is recommended to use this strategy; rectangular type: parts are arranged in a
rectangular manner, and the same kind of parts form a rectangular block; Qi, suitable for
layout of similar rectangular pieces;

Sequential: Arrange parts into the sheet from largest to smallest.

107
The graphics after nesting will also have certain optimization options:

108
check ‛It will automatically optimize the graphics after nesting, but it will
consume more time at the same time, and you can choose according to the actual situation;

‚ ‛Parts with skewed postures will be straightened before nesting ‛It

will automatically identify the complementary parts of the shape and couple them together for
nesting, which can improve the speed of nesting and the neatness of parts arrangement; if
checked

‚ ‛，It is necessary to set the minimum length of automatic coedge, when the
length of graphic coedge line is greater than this value, automatic coedge will be executed.

Note: this function cannot be combined with ‛use simultaneously. The graphics
after nesting are as follows:

You can also deal with the remaining material after nesting. tick ‛The shape of
the remaining material will be drawn on the board so that you can cut the remaining material

Array
The "Array" command can be used to quickly and accurately copy an object, and CypCut
provides three array methods.

a rectangular array
109
 click‚ ‛ button or "Rectangular Array" in the "Array" drop-down menu, the parameter
interface as shown in the figure below appears:

After setting the number of rows, columns, offset and direction, the selected graphics can
be quickly copied, as shown in the figure below:

b interactive array

Click "Interactive Array", set the row spacing and column spacing, and then drag the
mouse to delineate the area and quickly copy the selected graphics in an array. As shown
below:

110
 b Interactive array

Click "Interactive Array", set the row spacing and column spacing, and drag the mouse to
delimit the area for rapid array replication of the selected graph. As shown below:

c full layout

Full nesting is mainly used for cutting the entire board of a single graphic. Click "Full
nesting", and the software will quickly perform full nesting according to the given parts,
parameters and plates. Please refer to the "Layout" section for the setting of the plate. The

111
filling effect is as follows:

112
Process parameters
CypCut provides 16 layers, and each layer can be individually set including cutting
speed, laser power, air pressure, cutting height and other process parameters.

Click the "Working " button under the common menu bar to open the "Layer
Parameter Setting" dialog box, which contains almost all the process parameters required for
processing. The first page of the dialog box is "Global Parameters", which is used to control
parameters outside the layer, including motion control parameters, default parameters of laser
and gas, follow control parameters, etc. The other pages of the dialog box list all the layers
currently used, click on each layer, you can set the process used by this layer individually.

113
Please note: The content in the "Layer Parameter Settings" dialog box may display different
options due to different lasers used, gas pipeline configurations, height controllers used, etc.
The above picture is for reference only, please use your software The actual display shall
prevail.

a) Parameter Description

The table below briefly describes some of the parameters in the layer.
① Basic parameters
Cutting speed Set the target speed for actual cutting. Due to the acceleration and
deceleration at the first and last sections of the cutting track and at the
corners, the actual cutting speed is often lower than this speed.
Lift height Set the lifting height of the laser head after cutting a section of curve. When
the cutting is paused, the Z axis will also be lifted up to a certain height,
which is also the lifting height.
② Cutting method
Standard Process according to the set parameter standard.
Fixed height cutting The cutting head is fixed at a certain height for cutting.
Off board follow When this method is selected, the starting point of the knife can be docked
outside the board. During the actual cutting, the laser head outside the board
will stay at the "reference height" for cutting, and follow the cutting after
detecting the entry into the board. Commonly used for cutting boards.
‚The setting method of reference height is to jog the laser head to a suitable
height, and then save the parameters in the path of "NC"-"BCS100"-"save
reference height outside the board".
③ Perforation method
Direct cut The same parameters are used for piercing and cutting, and are often used
for thin plate cutting.
Segmented Different parameters are used for piercing and cutting. It is often used for
(secondary) thick plate cutting, and you can choose whether to need progressive
perforation piercing.
Progressive On the basis of segmented piercing, the piercing method of variable defocus
perforation amount is adopted while piercing and slowly falling, which is often used for thick
plate cutting. During progressive piercing, the piercing time can be set very small,
such as 100MS. At this time, the actual piercing time = 100ms + the time
required to slowly drop from the piercing height to the cutting height.

114
Tertiary perforation On the basis of segmented piercing, blasting piercing is performed again,
and progressive piercing can be selected, which is often used for thick plate
cutting.

115
 ④ Cutting parameters
Cutting height Set the height of the laser head from the plate when cutting.
Cutting gas Set the type of auxiliary gas used when cutting.
Cutting pressure To set the pressure of the auxiliary gas during cutting, it needs to be used in
conjunction with a proportional valve or a multi-gas valve.
Peak current Set the peak current, i.e. peak power, of the fiber laser. The peak power
determines the maximum cutting power that the machine can achieve. For a
500W cutting machine, if the peak current is set to 80%, then the peak
power that can be achieved during cutting is 500W * 80% = 400W.
Cutting power Set the laser power used in cutting, that is, the duty cycle of the PWM
modulation signal.
Cutting frequency Set the carrier frequency of the PWM modulation signal during cutting, that
is, the number of times of light output within 1 second. The larger the value,
the more continuous the light output.
Focus position The focal point is the distance from the nozzle tip of the cutting head.
Burn through delay Time delay for burning through the plate to make the cut more fully.
Delay before A delay to ensure the cut is complete before turning off the laser.
turning off light

The definitions of air pressure, power and other parameters during piercing are similar to cutting parameters,
and only take effect when the second-level piercing option in ③ is selected.
Progressive speed Sets the speed at which to slowly descend from pierce height to cut height
when using progressive pierce.
Punch delay After the laser is turned on for the second-level perforation, a delay is set to
make the perforation more thorough.
Stop light blowing After the perforation is completed, set the time for blowing without light to
cool the board.
The definition of air pressure, power and other parameters during blasting is similar to cutting parameters,
and it will only take effect when the third-level perforation option in ③ is selected.
Blasting delay After the blasting perforation laser is turned on, a delay is set to make the
blasting more thorough.
⑤ Other parameters

No processing This layer process does not process.

Do not follow The height controller is not used to follow the movement when cutting this
layer.
Don't close gas Do not turn off the gas while cutting.

Short distance After enabling this function, if the distance between the two graphics is less
without lifting than the setting value of the maximum distance without lifting in the global
parameters, then after the processing of the previous graphics is completed,
the Z axis will not be lifted up, and it will directly move Go to the starting
point of the next graphic and start processing.
Pre-punched Before the actual track cutting, first punch holes at the starting point of the
116
graph (or the starting point of the lead line). CypCut provides automatic

117
 group pre-punching, which can be enabled in the global parameters. Note:
This option cannot be selected together with tape die cutting.
Die cutting Use the die-cutting parameters along the cutting track to perform a die-
removing cut, and then perform normal processing according to the layer
parameters. After selecting this item, the mold removal parameter setting
page will appear.
Secondary cooling After a single graphic is processed normally, turn off the light and turn on
the air to process it again along the original track to assist the rapid cooling
of the workpiece and reduce the impact of thermal expansion and
contraction on the accuracy of the workpiece. After selecting this item, the
cooling parameter setting page will appear.
⑥ Slow start

Starting distance Set the starting distance at a slow speed to prevent the machine from cutting
through thick boards at the beginning.
Starting speed Set a slow start speed.

⑦ Power curve

Adjust After enabling this function, you can customize the power/frequency curve,
power/frequency in and the system will adjust the laser power (duty cycle of PWM signal) and
real time frequency in real time according to the curve during processing, which is of
great help to optimize the cutting quality of corners. Note: If you choose to
adjust the frequency in real time, you must choose to adjust the power in real
time.

b) Adjust power and frequency in real time

If " " is selected, the cutting power and frequency will change
with the speed during the cutting process, and the specific change value is determined by the

power/frequency curve. You can click the button to edit the power/frequency
curve.

118
119
 As shown in the figure above, the abscissa of the power/frequency graph is the cutting
speed, and the ordinate is the cutting power/frequency, and the unit is percentage. You can
add the corresponding power point at the corresponding speed and choose the smoothing

method of the curve. You can also click to copy the power curve to the
frequency curve. Through this table, it can be reflected that when the speed drops to a few

percent of the target speed when the actual movement reaches a corner, the actual
power/frequency needs to drop to a few percent of the cutting power/frequency. Note: It is
meaningful to adjust the frequency in real time only after the real-time power adjustment is
selected.

For example, if the laser power is 500W and the cutting speed is set to 100mm/s, the
peak current is 90%, and the cutting power is 80%, then when the actual cutting speed drops
to 29mm/s, the laser power is:

Laser power X peak current (percentage) X cutting power (percentage) X speed

dependent power adjustment (percentage) =500W X 90% X 80% X 79.00%= 284.4W

But no matter how the power drops, it will not be lower than a pre-set minimum value,
generally 10%, that is, 500W* 10% = 50W.

If " " is not selected, the power will remain unchanged

120
during cutting. Taking the above example, the power during cutting is 500W X 90% X 80% =

121
360W

c) Perforation method

CypCut presets three perforation methods, which are direct cutting, segmented
perforation and three-level perforation. Among them, segmental perforation, progressive
perforation and three-level perforation need the support of BCS100 height controller to
realize. The specific process of the three piercing methods is controlled by the preset PLC
process. Direct cutting is often used for thin plate cutting; secondary piercing is also called
segmental piercing, through setting different parameters of piercing and direct cutting to
achieve the purpose of cutting thicker plates, you can choose whether to enable progressive
piercing in segmental piercing, after enabling it, you can use The piercing process is more
adequate. In the three-level piercing process, the blasting piercing is performed first and then
the segmented piercing is performed. It is also possible to choose whether to enable
progressive piercing during the blasting piercing to enhance the blasting piercing effect,
which is usually used for thicker plate cutting.

d) Pre-piercing

After selecting , when processing this layer, it will first perforate at all positions
that need to be perforated, and the perforation method is specified by

in the layer, and then perform "direct cutting" after the pre-
perforation is completed.

Note that the "Pre-Pierce" option can only be selected after selecting "Secondary" or
"Tertiary" perforation.

e) Material library file

After editing all parameters, the user can save all parameters in the layer to the material

library for continued use next time. Click the " " button, input a file name, and
save it as a material library. It is recommended that the user set the file name with the
material property as the name, such as: 2mm carbon steel.

122
Next time you need to use the material library file, click " ", and then

123
select the previously saved file. CypCut will prompt the user "whether to overwrite the
current parameters", please click "Yes" and the system will automatically import the material
library parameters, "No" will give up the read operation.

f) Layer Settings

Click the drop-down triangle of the "Technology" button under the common menu bar,
and you can choose to lock and display a specific layer according to the prompts. When there
are multiple layers in the imported DXF file, click "DXF Layer Mapping" to view the number
of layers and corresponding graphics. As shown below:

Sorting and Path Planning

Most of the path sorting functions can be found in the "Sorting" section of the toolbar.
As shown below：

If the CypCut window is too small, you may not be able to see the complete toolbar as
shown in the above figure in the "Start" page of the toolbar. At this time, you can find the
column as shown in the figure below in the "Drawing" page of the toolbar. Contains all the
124
 functions listed in the above figure, and there are tools for graphic alignment in the upper part,
see the figure below：

Right Alignment Top alignment

Vertical center alignment

Align horizontally and center
Left alignment

Bottom alignment

For the rules of group sorting, please refer to the "Group" section. If there is no special
requirement, it is recommended to choose the "grid sorting" method.

a) Order preview

Dray the progress bar of "Graphic Sequence Preview", or click the button to preview the
processing sequence. The figure below demonstrates the screen when a part is previewed：

Sequential preview is fully interactive and easier to control than analog processing. You
can also zoom in on the position you want to observe carefully and preview forward and

125
backward repeatedly. Open the "" button on the common tool bar to display all the moving

126
 paths, and help to view the overall processing sequence, please refer to the content in the
"Graphic Display Effect" section.

b) Manual sorting
If you want to fine-tune the results of automatic sorting, you can use manual sorting, first
select the graphics to be adjusted, and then click the button in " ", the functions of
the four buttons from left to right are as follows：

move to front Move the selected graphics to the first processing

move to the end Move the selected graphic to the last processing
forward one Move the processing order of the selected graphics forward by
one
backward one Move the processing order of the selected graphics backward by
one
Please note that no matter how you move it, the order of the graphics can only be changed
within the layer to which it belongs, and the overall order between layers can be adjusted in the
"Layer Parameter Settings" dialog box，
See the "Layer Parameters" section.In addition to
manual sorting in fine-tuning mode, you can also
perform manual sorting more intuitively through
the "manual sorting mode"。Click the " " button on
the left toolbar of the main interface to enter the
"manual sorting mode", and the screen will
automatically open the digital display of the empty
moving path and the sequence of graphics.
According to the order you want, you can set the graphics processing order by clicking with the
mouse one by one. If you accidentally make a mistake, just click again or right-click to cancel
from the wrong place. If you just want to adjust the order between two graphics, you can hold
down the mouse and draw a straight line from one picture to another to set the order between
the two pictures. As shown on the right.

c) Partition sorting
If you want to fix the order of a certain part, you can select the graphics that need to be
fixed in order, and then click "Group", and then the order between them will remain unchanged,
and subsequent manual sorting and automatic sorting will not influence within the group.
Please note that after grouping, all graphics in the group will be processed
127
 continuously from the first to the last, and graphics not in the group will not be processed during
this period.

If you want to automatically sort only a certain part of the graphics without affecting other
parts, you can also complete it through groups. Select the graphics that need to be automatically
sorted, click "Group", then right-click the group, and select "Sort within the group".

d) Simulation processing
After all the sorting is completed, the processing process of the entire file can be completely
simulated through simulated processing. This process can be performed off the machine tool.
During the simulation process, not only the sequence between graphics can be seen, but also the
processing process within the graphics can be seen. Click the " " button on the console
to start the simulation, and the tool bar will automatically jump to the "NC" page.
The first column of the "NC" page can adjust the speed of the simulation processing, as
shown in the figure below

128
5.4.5 Processing control
CypCut is a set of software that integrates design and processing control. All the
graphics and parameter preparation mentioned above can be carried out without the machine
tool. After all the design is completed, the files can be saved and then copied to the machine
tool for processing.

Coordinate System

The "model coordinate system" used in the graphic design process has nothing to do

with the machine tool, and its zero point is marked by " " on the screen. The coordinate
system used in the machining process is associated with the running state of the machine tool,

and the correspondence between the two coordinate systems is as shown in the figure below：

Click the "Preview" button on the console to display the positional relationship between
the graphics and the machine format on the screen.

a) Mechanical coordinate system

The machine tool coordinate system is uniquely determined by the machine tool
structure and machine parameters. The coordinate system established by clicking "Back to
Origin" at any time is consistent. After the initial installation or when the machine coordinate
Machine origin” to reset the machine coordinate system
129
 No matter what mechanical structure is used, the definition of the coordinate system in
CypCut is consistent. All movements are the movement of the laser head relative to the
workpiece. The laser head is moving to the right as the X positive direction, and the laser
head is moving backward as the Y positive direction. That is, the lower left corner of the
workpiece (steel plate) is the minimum coordinate, and the upper right corner is the maximum
coordinate.

b) Program coordinate system

Since the machine tool coordinate system is fixed, it is necessary to introduce the
workpiece coordinate system for the convenience of use. All program coordinate systems in
CypCut have the same axis direction as the machine tool coordinate system, only the zero
point of the coordinate system is different, which is called the program zero point. Program
coordinate system is divided into floating coordinate system and workpiece coordinate system.

The button at the top of the console is used to select the program coordinate system, and
you can choose "floating coordinate system", 9 "workpiece coordinate systems" and one
"external coordinate system".

The floating coordinate system is generally used

in informal processing, which can be considered
as"Start processing wherever the laser head moves",
the zero point of its coordinate system is when the
user clicks "Go Border", "Idle Walk" or Automatically set to the
current position of the laser head during "processing".
When workpiece coordinate system 1~9 is selected, the zero point is manually set by the
user through "Set current point zero point". Once set, it will be permanently saved until the next
time. Therefore, the workpiece coordinate system is suitable for mass product production, and
its position is generally determined by the fixed fixture. Using workpiece coordinate system 1~9
can keep each machining at the same position of the machine tool。
Click on the bottom status bar
‚‛

130
 You can choose to display the mechanical or
program coordinates, and you can also set the zero
points of the two coordinate systems here. Select
"coordinate positioning" to position the cutting head to
the specified coordinate position.

c) Find the zero point

after an exception
occurs

case one

For example, only the peripheral equipment such as laser or auxiliary gas is abnormal,
which causes the processing to be interrupted, and does not cause the coordinate system to
shift. You can directly click "Return to Zero" to return to zero.

case two
Such as sudden power failure, servo alarm and other abnormalities that will cause the
mechanical coordinate system to shift, it is recommended that the user execute "back to
machine origin" to reset the mechanical coordinate system. Then click "Back to Zero" to find
the zero point.

alarm
CypCut will monitor all components during machine tool operation. Once an alarm is
detected, it will be displayed in a red title bar immediately, and measures such as stopping the
motion will be taken. Before the system alarm is eliminated, a large number of operations
will be prohibited. Please check the machine tool until the alarm is eliminated before
operating. An example of an alarm is shown in the figure below：

131
 In addition to the title bar, the "Alarm" window at the bottom left of the interface will
also display alarm information. After the alarm is eliminated, the red display on the title bar
will disappear, and the information in the "Alarm" window will be retained. Double-click the
"System" window to open and view all historical records, so as to understand the events that
occurred during the operation of the system.

In addition to alarms, if CypCut detects other abnormalities, it will be displayed in the

"System" window in different colors according to the abnormality level, including warnings,
reminders, messages, etc. These messages will not cause the machine tool to stop moving, but
it is still recommended that you pay attention to various messages displayed by the system in
time, so as to take necessary measures as soon as possible.

In addition to alarms, if CypCut detects other abnormalities, it will be displayed in the

"System" window in different colors according to the abnormality level, including warnings,
reminders, messages, etc. These messages will not cause the machine tool to stop moving, but
it is still recommended that you pay attention to various messages displayed by the system in
time, so as to take necessary measures as soon as possible.

manual testing
Some functions of console manual control are shown in the figure below：

A button with a “ ” icon will change to a “ ” style after the corresponding device is
132
turned on. Among them, the "laser" button is to press to turn on the laser, release to turn off
the laser; the other buttons are to press to switch, release to not perform any action, such as
"blow air", press it to blow air, press it again to turn off the blow . Depending on the laser, the

"shutter" may change to " " after a period of time after being pressed. This state is read
from the laser.

Please note that all button actions require the support of corresponding parts on the
machine tool. If the machine tool is not configured with these parts, or the platform
parameters are configured incorrectly, some buttons may be invalid

Click “ ” to record the current position of the machine tool, and then click

“ ” to return to the previously recorded position when needed. A total of 6

positions can be recorded, selected by "

Soft limit protection

In order to protect the machine tool, CypCut has a built-in soft limit protection, which
can be turned on and off through the " " option on the console, and it is turned on by default.

After the soft limit protection is enabled, if the system detects that the movement may
exceed the travel range, it will prompt "the movement has exceeded the travel range" and will
not issue any movement commands to prevent possible shocks. At this time, please check the
graphics and the position of the machine tool, and then operate after confirming that there is
no error.

In addition, the system will also monitor the coordinates of the machine tool in real time
during the movement of the machine tool. Once the soft limit is exceeded, it will immediately
alarm and stop all movement.

Please note: the soft limit protection depends on the coordinate system of the machine
tool, if the coordinate system is incorrect, the protection will also be incorrect. Therefore,
when the system is shut down abnormally, machine parameters are modified, etc., the correct
machine coordinate system should be established through the "return to origin" operation.

133
 walk the border

Click the " button" on the console, and the laser head will walk a rectangle
along the outline of the graphics to be processed, so that you can determine the approximate

size and position required for processing the plate. The speed of walking the border is set in
"Layer Parameter Settings" - "Global Parameters" - "Border Inspection Speed".

Please note: if the edge patrol operation is performed before the frame walking, the
software will record the edge finding result, and it will move along the oblique rectangle
when walking the frame, that is, the actual frame movement after correction by "Edge
Finding". For details, refer to "Edge Finding" Festival.
Processing and emptying

Click the " button" on the console to start processing, and the monitoring
screen shown in the figure below will be displayed during the processing, including
information such as coordinates, speed, processing timing and following height.

When the picture above is displayed, you cannot switch to other tabs of the toolbar, this
is to prevent graphics from being modified during processing, but the "File" menu can still be
used. If you need to modify parameters during processing, please pause first, and then click
the "Process" button on the toolbar on the right side of the interface.

Click on the console,，

The button can be turned on to perform idling. The
difference between idling and actual processing is
that the laser is not turned on, the gas is not turned
on, and you can choose whether to enable follow. It
is completely consistent with the actual processing
process, and it can also be paused, continued,
forwarded, and reversed, and the memory of the
breakpoint after the stop is the same as the actual

134
 processing.
The work is exactly the same, and you can even modify the parameters after the pause
and continue the empty walk. Therefore, the dry walk can be used for a comprehensive
inspection and simulation of the overall machining process without cutting.

If you want to enable following during idling, please enter "Layer Parameter Settings" -

"Follow Control Parameters" select "Bn.

By default, follow is disabled during idling.

By default, it will automatically return to the zero point after processing. If you want to
return to other positions after processing, please select the desired position on the console.
The supported positions include zero point, start point, end point, origin point and mark point.

if canceled

It is equivalent to returning to the "end point", that is, staying in place after processing is
completed. If you are using `float

Moving coordinate system”, it is recommended to choose to return to zero after

processing. If you want to return to the marked point after processing, please select
Automatically return to the corresponding marked point after processing and confirm.

Each time the processing is completed, the processing count on the console will

global parameters
In the "Global Parameters" tab of the "Layer Parameter Adjustment" dialog box, some
motion control parameters are available for adjustment. Adjusting these parameters will
affect the smoothness of mechanical operation, processing effect and efficiency.

a) parameter description

The following table lists some parameters of the "Global Parameters" tab.

follow control parameters

Directly follow max Each type of cutting head has an upper limit of height that can
height be followed. When the height needs to be followed to a height
higher than this due to perforation and other needs, the height
controller will be divided into 2 steps, first follow to a position
close to the board surface, and then lift up. This parameter is
used to set the upper limit of the altitude that can be followed.
Use leapfrog lifts If the Z-axis is not fully lifted, the XY-axis will start to move
in idling, so as to shorten the time of idling.

Enable follow when By default, the Z axis will not move during idling. If it needs
idling to follow during idling, the user can choose this option.

Disable following It is necessary to follow the cutting during normal processing.

5.4.6 NC auxiliary functions
Simulation processing
After all the sorting of graphics is completed, the processing process of the entire file can
be completely simulated through simulated processing. This process can be performed off the
machine tool. During the simulation process, not only the sequence between graphics can be
seen, but also the processing process within the graphics can be seen.

Click the " " button on the console to start the simulation, and the toolbar will
automatically jump to the "NC" page.

The first column of the "NC" page can adjust the speed of the simulated processing, as
shown in the figure below.

Find the edge

CypCut supports capacitive edge detection, photoelectric edge detection and manual
edge detection. Click the drop-down triangle of the "Edge Finding" button, and you can
choose the most suitable edge finding method according to your own conditions to determine
the placement of the board. The edge finding result will be displayed on the upper right of the
drawing area, as shown in the figure below:

a Capacitive edge seek

141
 Click the button under the "Numerical Control" page or click "Capacitor Edge Finder" to
enter the capacitor edge search interface.

Capacitive edge seeking needs to set some parameters. The edge-seeking speed has an
impact on the edge-seeking accuracy, and the recommended setting value is 200mm/s; the
steel plate width is the length of the steel plate in the X-axis direction of the machine tool; the
steel plate length is the length of the steel plate in the Y-axis direction of the machine tool; the
edge correction value is used to correct the edge-seeking As a result, a positive number means
that the laser head is shifted to the inside of the board, and a negative number means that the
laser head is shifted to the outside of the board; the lifting height is the lifting height of the
cutting head during the edge-seeking process.

After the advanced parameters are unlocked, the following parameters can be set:

142
143
 After checking "Avoid the influence of the rack on edge seeking", you can set the rack
interval, rack spacing, rack installation direction, and rack installation method to avoid the
influence of the rack on edge seeking. When enabling this function, the tooth tip coordinates
must be marked first. "Rack interval" is the interval between adjacent racks; "Tooth tip
spacing" is the distance between adjacent tooth tips; "Rack installation direction" is the
relative relationship between the installation position of the rack and the machine tool; "Rack
installation method" It is to choose dislocation installation or alignment installation; "No
tooth spacing" is the setting when the rack is neither alignment installation nor dislocation
installation.

You can jog the cutting head to a suitable starting position through the small console on
the right, please move the cutting head to the inside of the board as the starting position for
edge finding, and then select the edge finding operation you want to perform under the edge
finding test.

If you select "Automatic edge search before processing", the system will perform a
capacitive edge search before idling or starting processing according to the position of the
stop point on the graph.

Note: Please return to the origin to correct the machine coordinate system before edge
seeking and make sure that the cutting head can follow normally before edge seeking. The
inclination angle of the steel plate should not exceed 10 degrees.

For other settings and descriptions of capacitor edge seek, see the appendix.

b Photoelectric edge seeking

At present, the photoelectric edge finding function of this software must be used with the
Omron E3Z-L61 model switch.

Before the first edge finding, the deviation value between the photoelectric switch and
the laser center should be measured and set in the advanced parameters. Before the actual
edge finding, please be sure to move the cutting head to the vicinity of the stop point (upper
left, lower left, upper right, lower right) as the starting position of edge finding.
144
 The photoelectric edge seeking needs to set some parameters. Coarse positioning speed
is the speed of rough positioning of edge seeking, the recommended value is 100mm/s;the
speed of rough positioning of edge seeking, the recommended value is 100mm/s;

30mm/s, the smaller the fine positioning speed, the longer the edge-seeking time, and
the higher the positioning accuracy. The steel plate size and edge correction value are similar
to capacitance edge seeking.

By setting advanced parameters, the deviation between the photoelectric switch and the
laser head can be corrected and rack interference can be filtered out.

145
 You can set the following parameters: "Deviation value" is the deviation between the
position of the photoelectric switch and the laser head. After passing the "Measurement of the
deviation value between the photoelectric switch and the laser head", the system will
automatically set this parameter and cannot be modified manually; "Rack width" can be Filter
out the interference of the rack on the photoelectric edge-seeking, the recommended setting
value is consistent with the actual rack width; "Setting the edge-seeking height" is suitable for
the situation where the photoelectric switch is fixed on the cutting head, and the user can jog
up and down through the height controller Adjust the position of the photoelectric switch, and
read this height through "Set to current height", and the height controller will first move to
this height every time the edge finding is turned on. In addition, it can be moved to this height
through "positioning"; "fixed height edge seeking" is suitable for the situation where the
photoelectric switch is not installed on the cutting head.

NOTE: The angle of inclination of the steel plate should not exceed 40 degrees.

PLC process

Click the button under the "CNC" tab, you can customize the PLC process and
execute them. Attention: Improper modifications may lead to serious consequences! If
necessary, please contact our technical staff.

a Return to the machine origin

You can return the laser head to the machine origin and reset the machine coordinate
system by clicking the "Numerical Control" tab or selecting "All Return to Origin" in its
drop-down option. See the "Coordinate System" section for details. You can also select "X
axis home point" or "Y axis home point" in the drop-down option to make a single axis home
point independently

b Gantry synchronization
During the use of the double-drive gantry machine tool, due to
146
 various reasons such as the installation of the two Y-axes is not
parallel, the friction force and the load are different, the beam may
become crooked after the machine tool has been running for a
period of time.problem, affecting the machining accuracy. The
gantry synchronization function records and monitors when
returning to the origin The Z-phase signal position of Y1 and Y2

axes judges and automatically adjusts the verticality of the beam.

Click the "Origin" drop-down triangle on the "Numerical Control" tab, and select
"Longmen "initialization", as shown on the right: After completing the initialization of the
gantry, check the "Execute gantry synchronization when returning to the origin" and enter the
password to confirm. Relevant compensation information will be displayed in the system
message window of the software.

Note: After the machine tool has been adjusted, the gantry initialization must be
performed again.

Light path debugging

In specific processing, if you need to locate the cutting head to a specific point, you can

click the "NC" page" button and enter the specific coordinates you want to locate at
the position shown in the right figure.
You can also set up the laser interferometer in the optical path
adjustment interface to test the motion position given by the software.
The error between the setting and the actual mechanical movement position is used to perform
mechanical error compensation, also known as pitch compensation.

Click the ‖ button during processing, and you can observe the status information of
each part during cutting, so as to judge whether there is a problem during processing.

 5.4.7 Examples of co-edge layout
The following takes an actual sample from a customer as an example to demonstrate co-
edge layout. Before there is no coedge function, customers pass

The drawing of CAD manual drawing is shown on the right.

Among them, red shows unclosed graphics. These graphics in the figure are all straight
line segments that need to be co-edged. Previously, the customer manually drew them in CAD,
so they were all drawn as straight lines.

It can be seen from the figure that the original picture is composed of 10 narrow parts
below the 6 large parts, and 9x2=18 narrow parts on the right side, which just occupy the space
of a steel plate.

Next, first draw the 3 parts in the original drawing. Generally, these three parts come from
the customer's DXF drawing. As shown below:

The first step is to select all the graphics of each part and execute
"group" respectively. After grouping, the outline of the part will be
displayed in bold.

149
 Select part 1 and make an array of 3 rows and 2 columns, as shown in the lower right
figure.

Select the 6 parts that have been arrayed, click "Coedge", then the above 6 parts will
complete the coedge.

Then drag part 2 to the upper right position near the above picture, the part will
automatically suck,Attached to part 1 boundary and aligned top. As shown below:

Select part 2, make an array of 2 rows and 9 columns, and get the graph shown on the
right

As shown in the figure on the right, pull out a light blue marquee from the upper left
corner of part 2 to the lower right corner, and all 18 parts 2 can be selected, while part 1 will
not be selected.

Click "Co-edge", 18 parts 2 co-edge is completed. Note that the processing sequence of
part 2 must be processed from right to left, otherwise the steel plate will vibrate or even deviate
due to lack of support.

150
Select Coedged Part 2, right-click, and select Sort Right to Left from the pop-up menu. As

151
 shown below:

Careful users may ask, why do you have to drag part 2 to the boundary of part 1 and then
co-edge it? It is very troublesome to choose.
In fact, this order can be exchanged. Next, we will first share the edge with part 3, and then drag
it to zero

below item 1.
Select part 3, make an array of 10 rows and 1 column, and get the following figure:

Select 10 parts 3, click "Coedge", and part 3 will be coedged and become a whole. As
shown below. Note

Note that the thickness of the lines is different. Before coedge, each part 3 has a bold
outline, and after coedge, the whole has a bold outline, and the line segments that have been
coedge are displayed in thin lines.

152
 When the mouse hovers over part 3, a corresponding tooltip is displayed, indicating that
this is a combination.

Similarly, part 3 needs to be sorted from bottom to top to avoid shaking and misalignment
of the steel plate due to lack of support.

Select the overall part 3 after co-edge, drag it to the lower left of part 1, and it will also
automatically snap to the lower boundary of part 1 and align to the the left. As shown below:

Next, select all graphics, and all parts 1, 2 and 3 can be co-edged.

If you don't want part 2, part 3 to be co-edge with part 1, then you can omit this step. Of
course, part 2 and Part 3 should also be slightly dragged away from the border of Part 1.

When dragging the graphic away from the co-edge boundary, in order to avoid automatic
adsorption, you can press the space bar once, and the automatic adsorption function will be
disabled temporarily. Automatically reapplies on next drag.

5.6.1.2 Getting Started
a) User interface

The black background in the center of the face is the window display area.

Right above the interface is the title bar, menu bar, and toolbar from top to bottom. The
toolbars are arranged in groups of very obvious large icons, and most of the commonly used
functions can be found here. The menu bar includes the File menu and 4

There are four toolbar menus "Start", "Drawing", "CNC" and "View". Select these four
menus to switch the display of the toolbar. There is a toolbar called "Quick Access Bar" on the
left side of the title bar, which is used to quickly create, open and save files, and undo and redo
can also be done quickly here.

On the left side of the interface is the "View Toolbar", which we sometimes directly refer
to as the "Left Toolbar" in the follow-up instructions; here provides basic multi-view viewing
functions, including front, back, left, right, looking down, looking up Figure 6 Basic
perspectives

In addition, it also includes southwest, southeast, northwest, and northeast isometric

perspectives. And the front 5 buttons are used to switch function modes

Includes selection, arbitrary rotation, sequential editing, dragging, and scaling. Among

158
them, you can also drag the image to do three-dimensional rotation after selecting “ ” to

159
 rotate at any angle.。

The right side of the drawing area is the "Layer Toolbar", which we sometimes directly
call the "Right Toolbar" in the subsequent instructions, including a "Layer" button and 16
color square buttons; clicking the "Layer" button will Open the "Layer" dialog box, and you
can set most of the parameters; 16 color square buttons, each corresponding to a layer, when
the graphics are selected, click them to move the selected graphics to the specified layer; when
no graphics are selected, click Click them to set the default layer for the next drawing. The first
white square represents a special layer, "Layer 0", graphics on this layer will be displayed in
white and will not be processed.

The bottom of the interface includes two scrolling text windows. The left one is the
"CAD command window", and all relevant prompt information of graphics optimization
commands are also displayed here; the right window is the "system message window", and all
system messages will be displayed here, each message has a time stamp and The messages are
displayed in different colors according to their importance, including prompts, warnings,
alarms, errors, etc.

The bottom of the interface is the status bar, which displays different prompts according
to different operations. The right side of the status bar includes several common information,
including the position of the mouse, the processing status, and the position of the laser head.
The last fine-tuning distance parameter is used to use the arrow keys to quickly move the
graphics, see the relevant chapters.

The rectangular area on the right side of the interface is called the "console", and most
common operations related to control are performed here. From top to bottom, there are
coordinate system selection, manual control, processing control, processing options and
processing count, etc.

b) Toolbar
CypTube's toolbar uses a style called Ribbon (ribbon), which divides commonly used
functions into columns and partitions, and uses many large-sized buttons for easy operation.
The image below helps you understand this new type of toolbar:

160
 The entire toolbar is divided into 4 "pages", which can be selected through the 4 menus of
"Start", "Drawing", "NC" and "View". The "Processing" tab will appear during processing, and
you cannot switch to other tabs before stopping.
Please note that there is a small triangle at the bottom of some large-sized buttons, which
is called a "drop-down button". Press this button and a "drop-down menu" related to this
button will appear, providing richer operation options. When the mouse moves over this button,
two distinct rectangles will be displayed. Pressing the upper part of the button directly executes
the function corresponding to the button, while pressing the lower part of the button opens a
menu.
For example: "View" in the first column of the toolbar provides a number of buttons to
help control the display effect, as shown in the figure below:

Click the button in the above picture, the display effect will take effect immediately, and
you can see the change of the display effect in the drawing board. Please pay attention to the
display changes of the button itself. When the light yellow background color is on, it means
that the corresponding effect has been turned on. If there is no light yellow background color,
it means that the corresponding display effect has not been turned on.

A) Import graphics
Click the open file " " button on the quick launch bar in the upper left corner of the
interface to pop up a file open dialog box, select the graphic you want to open. The right side
of the open file dialog box provides a quick preview window to help you quickly find the file
you need

Note: Please make sure that the stretching direction of the graphics you import is consistent
with the stretching direction of your drawing, otherwise the imported graphics may be incorrect.
And it is recommended to introduce a small rounded transition when drawing to make the
processing and rotation smoother.
And the software will automatically identify and distinguish the contour tracks that you
need to process, and the auxiliary lines that are identified as not needing to be processed are
represented by gray lines.

162
B) Process settings

163
 In this step, you may use most of the functions in the "Process Settings" column of the
toolbar, including setting import lead-out lines, set compensation, etc. The large-size button

" " can be used to set lead-in and lead-in lines; the button " " is

used to perform slot compensation; the button " " can reverse a single graph. Click
the " " button, and then click the place you want to set as the starting point of the graphics,
you can change the starting point of the graphics.
As a quick start tutorial, you can press Ctrl+A to select all graphics, then click the "Lead Line"
button, set the parameters of the lead line, and then click OK, the software will automatically find
a suitable position to add the lead-in and lead-out Wire. Click the small triangle below the "Lead

to enter manual sorting
mode, click the graphics one by one with the mouse to set the processing order. Hold
down the mouse and draw a line from one graph to the other to specify the order
between the two graphs.

D) Inspection before processing

Before actual cutting, the processing trajectory can be checked. Drag the interactive preview
progress bar as shown in the figure below, you can quickly check the graphics processing
sequence, click the interactive preview button, you can check the graphics processing sequence
one by one.

Click the " " button on the "Console" to perform simulated processing, and the speed of

simulated processing can be adjusted through the "Simulation Speed" function on the
" " page.
164
E) Actual processing

Please note that this step must be run on the actual machine tool, and must be supported by
the dongle and the control card. Before formal processing, it is necessary to match the graphics
on the screen with the machine tool. After the square tube parts are clamped, the cutting
Place the head above the pipe, and then click the "Automatic Edge Finding" button on the
wireless handheld box, the software will automatically calibrate the square pipe level
degrees and finding the center of rotation. After finding the center of rotation, click the

button on the software to record the center of rotation.

If the "laser head position" shown by the red cross cursor does not match the actual laser
head position on the machine tool, please check whether the program zero point or mechanical
zero point is correct.

Click the " " button on the tool bar to change the relative relationship between the
graph and the docking point. For example, if the laser head is at the "nearest end" of the
workpiece to be processed, the part will be processed from Y- to Y+ direction; if the "farthest
end" is selected, the part will be processed from
Y+ processes in the Y-direction.

165
After checking on the screen, click the " " button on the "Console", the system

166
will control the machine tool to walk around the outermost frame of the graphics to be processed,
and you can use this to check whether the processing position is correct. You can also click the

The " " button runs completely along the graphics to be processed without
turning on the laser, so as to check whether there may be inappropriate processing in more detail.

Finally, click the " " button to start the formal processing, and click the

" " button to pause the processing. During the pause process, you can manually
control the laser head up and down, manually switch the laser, gas, etc.;

You can trace along the processing track through the " " button;

click the " " button to continue processing.

Click the button to stop processing, and the laser head may return to zero according to your
settings. as long as you don't

Make any modification to the graphics, that is, there is no "*" mark on the " "
button, when you click the "Start" button again, the system will allow you to continue processing
from the place where you stopped last time.

5.6.2 process settings

A）Lead-in and lead-out lines
When opening external files such as IGES, CypTube will automatically distinguish between
inner and outer molds. CypTube distinguishes the inner and outer molds according to the
enveloping relationship, always takes the outermost layer as the outer membrane, the next layer
of the outer membrane is the inner mold, the next layer of the inner mold is the outer membrane,
and so on.
When adding leads, the outer film is positive cut and introduced from the outside, and the
inner mold is female cut and introduced from the inside. To manually set the yin and yang cuts,

please select the graph to be set, and then click the " ‛button.
Automatic lead-in and lead-out lines

Select the graphics that need to set lead-in and lead-out lines, and then click the‚ ‛

167
icon, and set the parameters of the lead-in and lead-out lines in the pop-up window.
Please note that automatically importing and leading out lines will search the graphics to
determine the most suitable introduction position, so the previous parameters such as the
introduction position and type of the graphics will be overwritten.
Check the lead-in and lead-out lines
Click the small triangle under the "Lead Line" button, and then select "Check Lead-in and
Lead-out" to check the legality of the lead-in and lead-out lines that have been set. This
function will shorten the lead-lines that are too long to avoid intersecting with other graphics .
B) Kerf compensation

Select the graphic to be compensated, and click on the toolbar ‛button to perform
seam compensation.
The width of the kerf should be measured according to the actual cutting results. The
track after compensation is shown in white on the drawing board, and it will run on the track
after compensation during processing; the original image after compensation will not be
processed, and it is only displayed on the drawing board. Displayed for easy operation.
The direction of slotting compensation can be manually selected, or can be automatically
judged according to positive cutting and negative cutting, positive cutting is compensated
outward, and negative cutting is compensated inward.
During kerf compensation, you can choose whether to round the corner or make a right-
angle transition, as shown in the figure below:

The green in the figure is the original image, the white is the track after compensation,
and the light yellow is the vertical line drawn from the corner of the original image. It can be
seen from the figure that after the compensation on both sides of the vertical line, the edge of
the kerf can be guaranteed to coincide with the original image, but a transition is required at
the corner. Usually, the rounded corner transition can ensure that the edge of the kerf still
coincides with the original image during the transition process, and the operation is smoother.
To cancel the compensation, please select the graphic that needs to be canceled, then
click the "Clear" button and select "Cancel Compensation".
168
C) Layer parameters
CypTube provides 15 layers, and each layer can be individually set including cutting
speed, laser power, air pressure, cutting height and other process parameters.

Click on the ‚figure on the toolbar ‛button to open the "Layer Parameter Setting"
dialog box, which contains almost all the process parameters required for processing. The
first page of the dialog box is "Global Parameters", which is used to control parameters
outside the layer, such as air movement speed, burst power, etc., and you can also choose the
speed and acceleration units. The other pages of the dialog box list all the layers currently
used. Click each layer to set the parameters of the layer individually. Hold down the "layer *"
and drag the mouse to change the order of the layers, and the layers arranged in front will be
processed first.

Please note: The content in the "Layer Parameter Settings" dialog box may display
different options due to different lasers used, gas pipeline configurations, height controllers
used, etc. The following figure is for reference only, please use your software The actual
display shall prevail.
For parameter description, see 5.4.3.11D）材料库
After editing all parameters, the user can save all parameters in the layer to the material
library for continued use next time. click on ‛button, enter the file name, and
169
 save it as a material library. It is recommended that the user set the file name with the
material property as the name, such as: 2mm carbon steel.

The next time you need to use the material library, click‚ ‛，Then select
the previously saved file.
CypTube will prompt the user "whether to overwrite the current parameters", please
click "Yes" and the system will automatically import the material library parameters, "No"
will give up the read operation.

5.6.3 Processing control

CypTube is a set of software that integrates auxiliary design and processing control. All
the graphics and parameter preparation mentioned above can be carried out without the
machine tool. After all the design is completed, the files can be saved and then copied to the
machine tool for processing.

Mechanical coordinate system

The machine tool coordinate system is uniquely determined by the machine tool structure
and machine parameters, and the coordinate system established by "returning to the machine
origin" at any time is consistent.
Regardless of the mechanical structure used, CypTube's definition of the coordinate
system is consistent. All the movement is the movement of the laser head relative to the
workpiece. The right direction of the laser head is the positive X direction, and the backward
direction of the laser head is the positive direction of Y. That is, the lower left corner of the
workpiece (steel plate) is the minimum coordinate, and the upper right corner is the
maximum coordinate.
The axis of rotation forms an interpolation with the Y axis, parallel to the Y axis. When
looking at Y+ from the Y-direction, anticlockwise rotation is forward rotation, and clockwise
rotation is reverse rotation.
Look for zero point after an exception occurs
Case 1
Such as sudden power failure, servo alarm and so on will cause the mechanical coordinate
system to be offset, the user is advised to execute back"
Mechanical origin ', reset the mechanical coordinate system. Then click "back to zero" to
find zero.

Case 2
170
 Such as sudden power failure, servo alarm and other abnormalities that will cause the
mechanical coordinate system to shift, it is recommended that the user execute
"Back to Machine Origin" to reset the machine coordinate system. Then click "Back to
Zero" to find the zero point. Call the police
CypTube will monitor all components during machine tool operation, and once an alarm
is detected, it will be displayed in a red title bar immediately, and measures such as stopping
the motion will be taken. Before the system alarm is eliminated, a large number of operations
will be prohibited. Please check the machine tool until the alarm is eliminated before
operating. An example of an alarm is shown in the figure below:

In addition to the title bar, the "system message window" at the bottom right of the interface
will also display alarm information. After the alarm is eliminated, the red display on the title bar
will disappear, and the information in the "system message window" will be retained. Double-
click the "system message window" to open and view all historical records, so as to understand
the events that occurred during the system operation.

In addition to alarms, if CypTube detects other abnormalities, it will be displayed in the

"system message window" in different colors according to the abnormality level, including
warnings, reminders, messages, etc. These messages will not cause the machine tool to stop
moving, but it is still recommended that you pay attention to various messages displayed by the
system in time, so as to take necessary measures as soon as possible.

are configured incorrectly, some buttons may be invalid.

click on ‛You can record the current position of the machine tool as the

rotation center of the W axis, and when needed, click‚ ‛Can return to
previously recorded position.

Soft limit protection

In order to protect the machine tool, CypTube has built-in soft limit protection, which can
be ‛ Option on and off, default on.

172
 After the soft limit protection is enabled, if the system detects that the movement may
exceed the travel range, it will prompt "the movement has exceeded the travel range" and will
not issue any movement commands to prevent possible impacts. Please check graphics and
machine tools at this time position, and operate after confirming that it is correct.

In addition, the system will also monitor the coordinates of the machine tool in real time
during the movement of the machine tool. Once the soft limit is exceeded, it will immediately
alarm and stop all movement.

Please note: the soft limit protection depends on the coordinate system of the machine
tool, if the coordinate system is incorrect, the protection will also be incorrect. Therefore,
when the system is shut down abnormally, machine parameters are modified, etc., the correct
machine coordinate system should be established through the "return to origin" operation!

walk the border

Click on the console‚ ‛button, the laser head will move a rectangle along the
outline of the graphics to be processed,

So that you can determine the approximate size and location required for processing the

to click "Continue" Wait a moment.

During the pause, you can click‚ ‛or‚ ‛，Make the machine tool go
backwards along the machining path Or move forward, the distance and speed of each

movement are displayed on the console‚ ‛set here.

breakpoint memory

The system will memorize the breakpoint when the processing is stopped or the
processing is stopped due to an accident. As long as the graphics or parameters are not
modified, when you click "Start" again, the system will ask whether to continue processing
from the place where it stopped last time, as shown in the figure below:

Only when the start button is in‚ ‛The above dialog box will only appear in the

Global parameters
In the "Global Parameters" tab of the "Layer Parameter Adjustment" dialog box, some
motion control parameters are available for adjustment. Adjusting these parameters will affect the
smoothness of mechanical operation, processing effect and efficiency.

Parameter Description

The following table lists some parameters of the "Global Parameters" tab:

Motion Parameters
Idle speed XY The speed of the plane axis idle movement (not the speed of
machining).
Idle speed W Rotary axis idle speed (not machining speed).

Edge inspection speed The speed of walking the border.

The maximum Please calculate the appropriate value according to the
rotational speed of maximum speed of your servo motor combined with your
the rotary axis during reduction ratio. For example: the maximum speed of the motor
processing is 3000r/min, and the reduction ratio is 1:40. Then the
maximum rotating shaft speed during
processing=3000/40=75r/min
Space acceleration During space movement, the maximum acceleration of each
axis is generally set to 1.2~2 times of the processing
acceleration

176
Processing acceleration During trajectory processing, the maximum acceleration of
each axis is used in conjunction with the processing speed。
cornering acceleration During trajectory processing, the maximum acceleration allowed at
the corner of the path is used to limit the turning speed of a corner

6.1 maintenance and maintenance

Read "Maintenance Manual" for details

6.2 Fault Analysis and Troubleshooting

6.2.1Follow-up part of the problem

Alarm and abnormal analysis
1) The upper/lower limit is valid
When the system detects that the upper limit or lower limit photoelectric switch or contact
sensor of the Z axis is valid, this alarm will be generated. At this time, the following
situations should be paid attention to:
Whether the limit signal line is connected normally.
Whether the "limit signal type" parameter is set correctly, the limit signal can be set as
normally open or normally closed. Whether the upper/lower limit does sense the object
and outputs a valid level signal.
Whether the sensor is damaged, or there is oil or dust.

2) Z-axis travel exceeded

This alarm will be generated when the Z-axis coordinate of the system is greater than the
set stroke. If a false alarm occurs, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the system is
reset correctly, whether the travel parameters are set correctly, and whether the encoder
feedback is normal.

3) The upper limit is always effective

When the system returns to the origin, touches the negative limit, and then walks back, but
cannot exit the area of the negative limit, this alarm will be generated.

4) Servo alarm
When the ALM signal of interface No. 14 of the servo interface of the system detects that
there is a servo alarm signal input, the system will generate a servo alarm. The following
reasons may cause the servo alarm on the height controller:
Servo motor alarm, check the private server motor drive to see if there is an alarm, if so,
power on again.

185
 5) The encoder is abnormal
When the system is in a static state and it is detected that the feedback value of the encoder
has changed, this alarm will be generated. Reasons for this alarm include:
The external force causes the shaft to vibrate.
The line is in poor contact, and the zero-speed clamp signal is invalid.
The encoder line is disturbed, confirm whether the machine is connected to the ground
correctly.
6) Encoder not responding
When the system sends out the analog value and detects no change in the encoder signal,
this alarm will be generated. Reasons for this alarm include:
The line is not in good contact, the analog signal is not sent to the servo, or the zero-speed
clamp signal is always in effect, or the feedback signal of the encoder is not correctly
connected to the height controller.
7) Position deviation is too large
When the system detects that the difference between the feedback position and the target
position is too large, this alarm will be generated. The occurrence of this alarm generally
indicates that the servo system cannot normally follow the position loop command of the
height controller. Reasons for this alarm include:
The direction of the encoder is reversed. The position loop of the system does not form
negative feedback. In this case, the parameters need to be modified. Wiring, interference,
etc. lead to abnormal encoder feedback.
The Z-axis is mechanically stuck, and the torque of the system increases instantaneously,
but the position is not in place in time.

8) Capacitance becomes 0
When the system cannot measure the capacitance correctly, the capacitance value will
become 0. The following reasons may cause the capacitance to become 0: The floating
head touches the board.
The cutting head is flooded with water.
The body capacitance of the cutting head is too large and exceeds the detection range. The
amplifier is damaged.
Poor contact in amplifier/cutting head wiring.
Inside the cutting head, the positive pole (nozzle) and negative pole (casing) of the
induction capacitor are short-circuited.
9) Body capacitance becomes smaller
When the system detects that the body capacitance becomes smaller than a certain range,
186
this alarm will be generated. The reasons why the capacitance

187
of the system body becomes smaller include:
The alarm may also be caused by changing accessories, or moving connections, or random
changes in the characteristics of analog components. At this point re-calibration can be
done.
The laser scatters onto the nozzle, causing the temperature of the nozzle to rise sharply,
resulting in temperature drift.
Blowing air causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and negative electrode
(cutting head housing) to change.
Poor contact of the connecting wires and nozzles of the amplifier.
If the calibration distance is set too small (3D is less than 10mm, 2D is less than 15mm), it
may also cause an alarm that the capacitance of the body becomes smaller.
10) Body capacitance becomes larger
When the system is enabled to follow, because the capacitance of the body becomes larger,
the follow will go up all the time, and this alarm will be generated. Reasons for this alarm
include:
The alarm may also be caused by changing accessories, or moving connections, or random
changes in the characteristics of analog components. At this point re-calibration can be
done.
The laser scatters onto the nozzle, causing the temperature of the nozzle to rise sharply,
resulting in temperature drift.
Blowing air causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and negative electrode
(cutting head housing) to change. Poor contact of the connecting wires and nozzles of the
amplifier.
11) Abnormally large capacitance
When the system detects that the capacitance exceeds the maximum capacitance during
calibration, or the set touch plate capacitance, this alarm will be generated. Reasons for
this alarm include:
The floating head touches the surface of the board.
A small amount of water has entered the cutting head.
The laser scatters onto the nozzle, causing the temperature of the nozzle to rise sharply,
resulting in temperature drift.
Blowing air causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and negative electrode
(cutting head housing) to change.
12) Following error is too large
When the system is in the following state, it detects that the distance between the

188
 board and the board becomes abnormally large instantaneously, and this alarm will be
generated. Reasons for this alarm include:
Cut beyond the range of the board, and there is no object below the floating head to follow.
The board vibrates considerably.
13) Use time is up
It is time to use the system settings.

b) FAQ analysis
1) There is obvious jitter and mechanical shock when following the movement.
Poor contact between the amplifier shell or the FG pin of the controller and the machine
shell
The machine shell is the negative pole of the measured capacitor, when the amplifier shell
and the machine shell are not well-conducted, The AC impedance between the positive and
negative electrodes of the capacitor is relatively large. In this way, the load of the
measurement circuit will change, which will lead to a large measurement error. If the
mechanical connection is not possible, an additional wire can be added between the
amplifier and the machine's metal casing to reduce the AC impedance, but the AC
impedance of this single-point connection is larger than that of a mechanical connection.
The specific index is to achieve a DC impedance of less than 10 ohms.
The following movement speed series is set too large
If the speed level of the following movement is set too high, it will cause jitter during
movement. It is recommended to use a level of 3~7. Poor calibration of floating head
When the stability and smoothness of the capacitance and position data stored in the
BCS100 are not good, there will be jitter in the following motion. At this time, please re-
calibrate the floating head capacitance until the stability and smoothness are excellent or
good.
If there is a lot of interference at the site, the "follow-up gain coefficient" parameter can be
appropriately reduced.

2) When following the movement, it often collides with the boa

The calibration range is set too small or the Z-axis speed is set too high
The smaller the calibration range, the smaller the deceleration distance of the following
movement. At this time, if the Z-axis speed is set too large, and the Z-axis speed has not
dropped to 0 when the following is in place, overshoot will occur at this time. The greater
the Z-axis speed when following in place, the greater the overshoot. When the Z-axis speed
is greater than 100mm/s, the calibration range is recommended to be 15mm. When the Z-
axis speed is greater than 250mm/s, the calibration range is recommended to be set to
20~25mm.
189
 Servo rigidity setting is too small
If the servo rigidity is set too small, the response of the servo will lag behind the control
signal of the controller, resulting in a collision with the board. A stiffness setting of no less
than 13 is recommended.
Capacitance Calibration Problem
When the capacitance stored in the BCS100 deviates greatly from the actual measured
capacitance, the following motion may collide with the board. For example, the
temperature of the nozzle is abnormally high, or the connection is not strong. At this time,
first find out the cause of the problem, and recalibrate the capacitor after solving the
problem.
no preheating
Please warm up for 2~5 minutes and wait for the sampling capacitor in the amplifier to
stabilize before operating the BCS100 controller.
Ceramic body lock nut not tightened
The ceramic body lock nut is not tightened, which may cause the detection capacitor to be
unstable.
3) The following altitude does not match the actual set altitude.
no preheating
Please warm up the preamplifier for 2~5 minutes before operating the BCS100 controller.
Sampling circuit in the preamplifier
The capacitance will change with the change of temperature, please warm up for 2~5
minutes and wait for the sampling capacitance in the amplifier to stabilize before operating
BCS100 controller. Calibration problem
If the floating head capacitance is not re-calibrated after the nozzle is replaced, the above
phenomenon often occurs.
Laser scattering onto the nozzle, or abnormal air blowing, etc., lead to an abnormal
increase in the temperature of the nozzle (above 100°C), which changes the body
capacitance of the cutting head.
The board was not touched during smart calibration, and the actual following height was
higher than the set value. Turn off the smart touch plate option and then calibrate.

4) Abnormal lift height

When cutting, it is found that the height of the lift is getting lower and lower. At this time,
it is necessary to pay attention to whether the machine is slipping or the mechanical
connection is not normal.

5) When upgrading, it prompts "verification error, ARM upgrade failed”

190
 The upgrade file may be infected by a virus.
6) When the floating head is calibrated, it will be lifted up if it does not touch the board.
The bump capacitance setting is incorrect. When calibrating metal materials, be sure to set
the bump capacitance to 0, and modify the "smart bump detection" parameter to "off".
