 3.4 Control panel and Data process

3.4.1 Layer Parameter

Fig. 3-7
Layer can be taken as a kind of processing technology. A layer is equivalent to a processing technology. There
are several kinds of processing parameters in a layer.
For example in a figure, some places need to be cut deeper and some places need to be cut shallower, this
can be done easily with the help of layer settings.
As many as 256 layers are supported. Layer list, layer parameter and work parameter setting area are
included.
1. Layer list

Fig. 3-8
As many as 256 layers are supported. In the layer list, there are items like ID, Color, Priority, process, and
visible.
In the layer list, the blue color indicates the checked layer, and the gray color indicates the current default
layer. When drafting the figure, the figure is at the current default layer.
 Color: Color of the layer, click this item to pop up dialogue box of color setting, user can choose any
color to set it as the layer color:

13
 Fig. 3-9
 Priority: Set the processing sequence of current layer from grade 1~256. Least grade is the highest
priority, and grade 256 is the lowest priority.
 Process: Set whether the figure data of the current layer is involved in the processing.
The relation between layer process and graph process:
 When process of layer parameter setting “no”, no matter how to set the process of graph, all
graphics of this layer are not processing.
 When process of layer parameter setting “yes”, if the process of graph setting “no”, the
current graph will not process.
Warm
 When process of layer parameter setting “yes”, if the process of graph setting “yes”, the
current graph will process.
 Visible: Set whether the figure data of the current layer is displayed in the drawing area
Select a layer in the layer list and right click the mouse, a menu will pop up as follows:

Fig. 3-10
 Apply to pick object: after click this item, switch the layer number of selected object in the current
drawing area to opposite layer ID number of current right click point.
 Apply this layer to all layers: after click this item, system will copy the layer parameters of current right
click point to other layers.
 Set default pen: If this option is selected, all figures drafted in the drawing area belong to this layer.
 Parameter library: parameter library is used to save the current parameter which user set, please refer
to next section:

Fig. 3-11

14
  Save layer parameter: save current process parameter to a new file, current layer parameter file can be
changed.
 Delete select parameter: delete the selected parameter file of current list.
 Apply to default: revert the process parameter of current layer to default parameter (the primitive
parameter)
 Load: click this button to load all the parameter of current selected file into process parameter of
current layer. At this moment, “parameter name” will show current parameter file name.
2. Layer parameter

Fig. 3-12
 Layer name: Each layer has the exclusive number, cannot be modified.
 Processing media: base on different users, the processing media can be selected. When choose laser to
process, this parameter will be set “laser head”. When choose pen to process, this parameter will be set
“pen”.
3. Work parameter

Fig. 3-13
 Work vel: Set the speed of single-axis motion when the machine is working
 Min. power(%): The minimal value of laser when processing (0~100%)
 Max. power (%): The maximum value of laser when processing (0~100%)
The maximum light intensity should always larger or equal to the minimal light intensity. In case of the
similar speed, the larger the light intensity is, the deeper the engraving would be.
4. Advance
Press the “Advance” button to enter the parameter interface.

15
 Fig. 3-14
 Process mode: there have two process mode: cutting and scan mode, if the graphics is the fill or bitmap,
then the process mode is scan mode, otherwise, the scan mode is divide into four mode: H-two way
scan, H-one way scan, V-two way scan, V-one way scan. This mode is according to the sweep mode of
the bitmap or fills property. The vector graphics is the cutting mode.
 Laser On delay (ms): laser on delay when the working starts. Appropriate start delay can eliminate the
phenomenon of “match head” when the working starts, but if the start delay is too long, the start
section will lack strokes
 Laser Off delay (ms): laser off delay when the workings end. Appropriate end delay can eliminate the
phenomenon of unclosed when the working end, but if the end delay is too long, the end section will
have the phenomenon of “match head”.
 Open Delay: Medallion for a time / medallion latency
 Close Delay: light off through wear / light off delay time
 Laser through mode: If checked, the light switch delay said is on time, otherwise, the time delay switch
is light delay said laser movement
 Through power: Refers to crush objects in unit time of the work done fast.
 Speed: if the LmtSpeed option is selected, the parameter is valid. This parameter is the max speed of
the whole working.
 Two-channel power equal: if the option is chose, then the power of the two laser tube is the same, so
the power can only set the laser head1. If the option is not chose, then the power of the two laser tube
can be set separately.
 Laser1、2: if the “Two-channel power equal” option is selected, the power of the laser1 and laser2 is
the same, but if the option is unselected, the power of the laser1 and laser2 can be set separately.
 Enable Ext IO: if the option is selected, the extend IO can be used.
 Enable exhaust: if the option is selected, the exhaust of the laser head is valid.

 Chapter6 Manufacturer/User Parameters Explanation
6.1 Manufacturer parameters
1. Motor parameters

Fig. 6-1
 X/Y/Z/U axle parameters
 Dir polarity: Modification of direction polarity can move the motor to the opposite direction. The
modification purpose can move this axle to the origin on resetting. If this axle moves far from the origin
on resetting, it means the direction polarity of this axle is wrong in setting and should be modified.
 Limiter: it is used to set the high and low level mode of spacing signal. When the motion axle arrives at
the spacing position and input a low-level signal to the mainboard, the spacing polarity at this time
should be set to be minus.
 Breadth: it means the farthest distance that the motion axle can move, which is determined in
accordance with the actual condition of the machine.
 Home offset: if this axle enables hard-spacing protection, generally this value should be set to be
2~5mm; if it is set to be 0, when this motion axle moves to the smallest coordinate, i.e. 0, this spacing
may be validate, which may wrongly triggers the hard-spacing protection and scram the machine. If the
hard-spacing protection is not enabled, this value can be set to be 0~5mm.
 Control Mode: Double pulse or direction+single pulse are optional, in general, direction+single pulse is
selected.
 Step Length: it means the impulse equivalent, the absolute distance gone by the corresponding motion
axle when a pulse is delivered to the motor. Prior to the correct setting of this value, a large rectangle
can be cut with the machine (the larger the figure is, the smaller the difference is). The motor stepping
can automatically be calculated according to the figure length and measuring length.
 Enable limit trigger: it is used for whether the hard-spacing protection of this axle is enabled.
 PWM Rising edge valid : To set the motor driver’s pulse signal rising edge valid or falling edge valid. If
this item is disabled, the pulse is falling edge valid, or, it’s rising edge valid.
 Enable Home: if the machine is provided with this axle, its “Reset Enable” should be opened; if no, its
“Reset Enable” should be prohibited.
 Jump-off Speed: it means the speed of the motion axle in direct start from the idle condition. If this
value is excessively large, it will make the motor lose steps, jar and even squeak; if small, it will reduce
the running speed of the whole figure. If the inertia of the motion axle is larger (the axle is heavier), you
can set a smaller takeoff speed; if smaller (the axle is lighter), you can increase the takeoff speed. For
example, the typical value is 5~30mm/s.

47
 Max Speed: it means the maximum limit of motion speed that this axle can bear. This parameter has
something to do with the driving force of motor, the inertia of motion axle and its drive ratio. For
example, the typical value is 200~500mm/s.
 Max Acceleration: it means the maximum acceleration of the motion axle in accelerated or decelerated
motion. If the acceleration is set too large, it will make the motor lose steps, jar and even squeak; if too
small, it will cause the reduction of acceleration so as to reduce the running speed of the whole figure.
For the axles with larger inertia, such as Y axle corresponding to the beam, its typical setting range is
800~3000mm/s2; for the axles with smaller inertia, such as X axle corresponding to the car, its typical
setting range is 8000~20000mm/s2.
 EStop Acceleration: if this axle enables the hard-spacing protection, when this axle moves to the
spacing position, it will scram operation at the scram acceleration. This value can be 2~3 times of the
maximum acceleration for this axle.
 Key parameters
 Key Jump-off Speed: it means the starting speed to move this axle by way of the keys on the keyboard,
which can’t be higher than the takeoff speed.
 Key Acceleration: it means the acceleration to move this axle by way of the keys on the keyboard, which
can’t be higher than the maximum acceleration of this axle.
 Key Invert direction: it is used to control the movement direction of the axle that is moved through
manual operation of the keys. After the direction polarity is correctly set, if you press the directional
keys on the operating panel, this axle will move to the opposite direction. In such a case the polarity of
keys should be modified.
2. Laser parameters

Fig. 6-2
 Laser Configuration : single laser and double lasers are available for option and set in accordance with
the laser-tube quantity provided by the manufacturer.
 Laser Type : glass tube, RF laser (not need pre-ignition pulse) and RF laser (needing pre-ignition pulse)
available for option.
 Laser Attenuation : The attenuation of energy after the laser has been in operation for a period of time.
 Laser Life : The main board performs over-limit prompts on the operation panel according to the laser
tube life setting and each laser tube work time.
 Laser Enable : When double lasers are used, then each laser can be respectively enabled or disabled.
 Minimum Power : The minimal value of laser when processing (0~100%);
 Maximum Power: The maximum value of laser when processing (0~100%);
 Work frequency : The frequency of the signal sent when the main board controls the laser.
 Signal level : Used to set whether the laser is active low or active high.
 Pre-generation Frequency : Frequency of laser working medium when it is about to be broken down.
 Pre-generation pulse scale : When the laser is RF-laser and it’s need to pre-generate PWM, then set the
Pre-generation Frequency and the Pre-generation pulse scale.

 Water Protector Enabled : When the water protector is enabled, the mainboard will detect the input
port of water protector. If this port is of low level, it will be deemed normal; if this port is of high level,
the mainboard will forcibly close the laser to suspend the work in progress and the system will warn. If
the water protector is not enabled, the mainboard will not detect the input port of water protector and
so the water protector can be unconnected.

If it is only provided with the single laser, it can show the one-path parameter.
Note

3. External parameters

Fig. 6-3
 Machine configuration
 Machine Type: In most cases, the general engraving machine should be selected and other types used
for specific purposes.
 Transmission Mode: Generally the “Belt Stepping Type” should be made choice of. The control
algorithm will be changed a little when other types are selected.
 Feeding Mode: It has single-way mode and two-way mode for option. If it is of single-way feeding, it is
unnecessary to check the coordinates. Feeding can be conducted in the single-way mode; if it is of
two-way feeding, the system will check the maximum and minimum coordinates. The odd sequence
means feeding should be done to one direction and the even sequence means feeding done to the
other direction. The initial direction for the first time can be changed through setting the directional
polarity or modifying the plus and minus values of the feeding length.
 Broken Delay: It can be set to be 0~3000ms. After the power-off of the electricity grid, the power supply
of the system will not drop to 0 at once. There is a delay during this time. The delay value set here
should basically consistent with the actual off-delay value. If the deviation of set value is larger, on the
de-energizing for continuous engraving, either the figure processed for the second time is not closed
with that before the cutoff, or it is coincided with that too much.
 Head distance: This parameter must be set while the item “Enable double head cutting” is enable. It
means the assemble distance between the two laser heads;

After the configuration parameters in the manufacturer parameters, such as directional

polarity, control mode, laser type and laser PWM frequency, are modified, the system should be
Note reset. Such a modification can function upon the resetting of the system.

 Enable parameters
 Enable Protection: If this item is enabled, then the door opening protection must be connected to the
controller, or, the machine will not run.
 Enable blower: If using wind out port to control the blower by the graph layer parameter, this item
must be enabled, or, the wind output is a signal for other using.
49
  Enable Electronic double head cutting: If this item is enabled, the graphs are automatically output
cutting by system.
4. Three color light

Fig. 6-4
 Three color light config : Check the three-color lamp and buzzer configuration corresponding to the
event. When the event is triggered, the device drives the tri-color lamp and buzzer according to the
configuration table.

6.2 User parameters

1. Cutting parameters(Only affect cutting arts)

Fig. 6-5
 Idle Speed: This parameter decides the highest speed of all non-lighting lines for the machine in the
movement process.
 Idle Acceleration: It means the highest acceleration of all non-lighting lines. Idle stroke speed and idle
stroke acceleration can be set higher to reduce the working time of the whole figure, but if they are set
too high, it may cause the jarring of track, so comprehensive consideration should be given to the
setting.
 Idle Delay : If this parameter is zero, then after idle moving there is no delay, or, there is delay and the
speed will decrease to turn off speed.
 Corner Vel: It means the speed of turning at the acute-angle corner, which is also the lowest speed in
the whole cutting process.
50
  Corner Acceleration: It means the acceleration of turning at the acute-angle corner when cutting. If the
two speeds are set too high, jarring will happen to the turning; if set too low, it will influence the cutting
speed.
 Work Acceleration: It means the highest acceleration value in the whole cutting process.
 Cut Ratio: Set the current processing cut ratio, the range of 0 to 200.
 Corner Ratio: The set of cutting the corner ratio, the range of 0 to 200
 Space Ratio: Set the space ratio of empty when walking, the range of 0 to 200.
 One key setting:

Fig. 6-6
A key to click on the "Settings" button will appear as above dialog, the options in the processing parameter is
retained after testing the ideal data are obtained. Such as user in the beginning of the parameters is not clear how
to use, can choose this option, to facilitate processing.
2. Carving parameters(Only affect scanning arts)

Fig. 6-7
 X/Y-axle Starting Speed
 X/Y-axle Acceleration
The above four parameters are used to set the starting speed and acceleration of two axles on the
scanning. The higher the two speeds are, the quicker the scanning is.
 Scanning Line-feed Speed: this parameter is specially used to control the highest speed at which that
the previous line vertically moves to the next line in the scanning mode. If the space between lines is
larger during the scanning or if the distance of each block is larger during the scanning and deblocking of
figure, it is necessary to position each line or block accurately. In such a case the speed of scanning
line-feed can be set as a lower value.
 Scanning Mode: it is divided into general mode and special mode for option. If special mode is used, the
laser power should be increased. The smaller the speckle percentage is, the more the laser power
reduces. The laser power to set should be larger in order to reach the same scanning depth. The
purpose to select the special mode is to make the laser light at high power and short time. On the depth
scanning the effect that the bottom is flatter is obtained, but it should be noticeable that if the speckle
adjustment is not appropriate, it cannot achieve this goal. If the high power remains short, the lighting
mode will influence the life of the laser. The system will default the selection of general mode.

51
 Speckle Size: When the general mode is selected as the scanning mode, this parameter will become
ineffective; when the special mode is selected, this parameter will become effective. The controller will
control this parameter among 50%~99%.
 Scan ratio: Set clean when scanning coefficient, the range of 0 to 200.

The cutting and scanning parameters can’t exceed the limited ones in the axle parameters. If
so, the setting will become ineffective and the system will automatically cover the parameters with
Note the axle parameters.

3. Feeding parameters

Fig. 6-8
 Enable Feed Line-By-Line: If this item is enabled, then the dummy array graph on Y direction will run in
the same position, running one line graph, the U axes moving one time to feed, the moving length of U
axes is the interval of the two lines graph on Y direction.
 Feed after finish: The function in the model effective feeding, check the motherboard in the current
after all data processing is completed, according to the software set the feed length of feeding; If you
don't check after all data processing is to feed.
 Delay Before Feed: Settable at 0~300s. The lagged time can facilitate user’s feeding and picking on the
feeding device.
 Delay After Feed: settable at 0~9.9s. It can facilitate the feeding device’s delaying in jarring after moving
to the correct position and waiting for the 2nd work after the feeding axle stands still completely.
 Feed Compensation: Because of the imprecision of U axes’ moving, there can set a value to repay the
interval of the two lines graph on Y direction.
4. Home parameters

52
 Fig. 6-9
 Reset Speed: it means the speed of X/Y-axle linkage reset to the origin.
 X axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 Y axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 Z axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 U axle start-up reset(Auto home)
You can select “Yes” or “No” in the field of the above four parameters, which is used to confirm whether
each axle can be reset on the startup.
5. Go scale parameters

Fig. 6-10
 Go scale Mode: “Blanked Bordering” means idling to start border preview; “Outputted Border Cutting”
can manually cut off the well-processed figure; “4-corner Dotting” means to emit the light at four corner
points of the frame to make a point and turn off light. The size and position of this figure can be checked
intuitively through the four points. The bordering speed is the speed value set on the keyboard when
the system is idle. For light output, its minimum/maximum power is the corresponding value set on the
keyboard when the system is idle (The lasering power on the 4-corner dotting means the well-set
maximum power).
 Go scale Blank: It means whether to extend a certain length outside the actual frame of the figure on
the preview/cutting of frame.

53
 If the frame crosses the border, the interface will prompt it. If the Enter key is pressed at this
time, the system will cut the border at the maximum/minimum coordinates first, and then border
the figure. This bordering can be given up.
Note

6. External user parameters

Fig. 6-11
 Array Mode: Two-way array or one-way array can be selected. Two-way array means the to-and-fro
cutting of array in sequence; one-way array means the cutting of array from one direction to another.
On selecting one-way array, the elements of each array are the same in action mode and completely
uniform in action fluency, which takes a little more time than two-way array. Two-way array is the
default option.
 Return Position: The origin (the relative origin) and the machine’s absolute origin can be selected. This
parameter decides the parking position of laser head after each work.
 Focus Setting: it means the distance from the focal point of laser head lens to Z-axle origin. When there
is no automatic focusing function, this parameter becomes invalid.
 X Backlash: The X axes’ backlash, accurate to 1um.
 Y Backlash: The Y axes’ backlash, accurate to 1um.
 Work signal ahead: After setting the time, when they start the processing according to set the time on
the work ahead of time state signals, after waiting for a period of time will be cutting movement. In
practical application, the signal is bound to blow air control, blow ahead of time.
 Number of buzzer rings: Processing after the completion of the ring.
 Enable continue cut and Continue cut delay: Make any invalid, the file circulation processing function is
invalid).In this mode, the memory file processing, once started, starting from the current startup file,
until the last file have been processing. Each file is processed after the first ring, and then processing the
next file. After the first file is processed, start the second file, you can set the time delay between the
value (0 ~ 30 s)
 Output temporary files directly from the PC software, click the start button processing mode, do
not start the circulation processing function.
 Press the pause in the processing, and then press exit to cancel the process, is that the whole is
processed, no longer cycle to the next file.
 Enable count limit: If this parameter is not enabled, no matter whether the PC software can make, the
controller can not make; If the user parameter can make number limit, depending on the PC software
can make can make machining output.
