High-speed laser switching signal Run MyCC /HSLC

High-speed laser switching signal, Run MyCC /HSLC

In the SINUMERIK MC Fabrication PERFORMANCE package

Function

For high-speed laser machining, the laser is switched on and off automatically and with a very high positional accuracy relating to the path. Under the prerequisite that all movements for which the laser must be switched off are made in rapid traverse mode G0, it is possible to logically combine the switching signal for the laser with the rising or falling edge of G0.

The laser switching signal can also be coupled to an adjustable G1 feedrate threshold value, if required. To achieve the fastest possible responses, the switching on and off of the digital laser signal is controlled by a hardware timer with microsecond precision depending on the actual axis position. No programming measures are required for switching the laser itself on and off, as these procedures are directly linked to the programmed G functions.

It is only necessary to program a release with CC_FASTON (DIFF1, DIFF2) for the path section in which the laser is switched on or off. Together with this release, the two offset values, which can offset the switching on and off of the laser by a specific path defferential in relation to the position setpoint, are entered.

Benefits

• High-speed laser machining, e.g. of aperture plates
