Laser Cutting in TruCUT Laser Software

Fast and quality laser cutting is controlled by our TruCUT Laser Cutter software. http://am.co.za/ Adjust the laser energy and speed on the lines and corners for smooth cutting of various kinds of material. http://am.co.za/ The cutting path optimization feature enables the identification of a general cutting path automatically, http://am.co.za/ plus the compensation settings prevent backlash and inertia
for smart and easy laser cutting.

How-to Perform Laser Cutting

Double click the layer identification colour in the Layer Management http://am.co.za/ interface, and then a dialog box pops up as below:
Laser Cutting Options

Speed: Operating speed of the laser nozzle in cutting. http://am.co.za/
Laser Power: Adjust the minimum unit percentage of the laser power in operating the layer. http://am.co.za/
Corner Power: Adjust the power of the laser beam when its speed is at a minimum in the variable speed motion. http://am.co.za/ Adjustment of the corner laser power parameter can ensure an unchanged strength of the laser beam as it in smooth line.
Ending Overlap: Closed object may not be able to fully cut out due to mechanical inaccuracy. http://am.co.za/ This parameter helps to solve the problem, but it should not be set too large. http://am.co.za/ It is recommended that you adjust the mechanical precision to solve the problem.
Air Off: Not to blow air in the process.
Air On with Laser: Blow when the laser in on, stop blowing when the laser is off. http://am.co.za/
Air Always On: Start to blow at the moment the laser begins to move until the end of the cutting process. http://am.co.za/

Advanced Laser Cutting Settings

To set advanced parameters -- click the "..." http://am.co.za/ button, a dialog box appears as below:
Advanced Laser Cutting Options

Laser Frequency: Control of the frequency of the laser's PWM signal in the process, http://am.co.za/ only useful for controlling the radio-frequency tube.
Second Laser Power: Adjust the minimum unit percentage of the second laser power in operating the layer. http://am.co.za/ This option will only be available for twin-laser machines.
Second Laser Corner Power: Adjust the power of the second laser when its speed is at a minimum in the variable speed motion. http://am.co.za/ This option will only be available for twin-laser machines.

Cutting Path Optimization

No, as Design: Select this option and the system will draw a process path according to the artwork. http://am.co.za/ If you need to change the output sequence by "Set Output Order" under Tool menu, you have to check this option.
Yes, Optimize: Select this option and the system will calculate the path according to the set requirements. http://am.co.za/ Optimized path has two options: Inner-to-Outer, Bottom-to-Up.
Inner-to-Outer: Process the inside of the object first and then the outline border. http://am.co.za/
Bottom-to-Up: You can set the size of "Block-on-Every". http://am.co.za/ The system will output from the bottom up according to the block height you set.
Automatic Set Cutting Direction http://am.co.za/: If you check this option the system will set the cut direction automatically.
Backlash Optimize: If you select this option the system will set the cut direction automatically to compensate for any mechanical inverse backlash when cutting a sophisticated object. http://am.co.za/ But this will greatly increase the length of idle running. Usually this option need not be selected.

Delay with Laser Beam

Delay Before/After http://am.co.za/ Laser On/Off: Set the delays in seconds (accurate to 1% of a second) http://am.co.za/ before or after the laser is on or off.

Output Solid Cutting Line as Dash Line

Just like Laser Perforating, the "cut dash line function" http://am.co.za/ will only partially cut the artwork out, the object with solid lines is processed to the effect of a broken line. http://am.co.za/ It's useful to make folding lines, tear lines and easy to break out objects.

Cut Len: Length of the cut line http://am.co.za/ (when the laser is on).
Gap Len: Length of the gap between the lines (when the laser is off http://am.co.za/).
Gap in Front: Define the first action to be a solid or broken line when the object with solid line is processed to the effect of a dash line.

Other Setting

Corner Acceleration: Define the normal acceleration of the curve in variable motion. http://am.co.za/
Compensation on X/Y: Backlash compensate the mechanical inverse gap by cutting with constant speed. http://am.co.za/
