1 Product Introduction

1.1 product description

RayBox is developed by Shanghai Friendess Electronic Technology Co.,Ltd

independently，which is the intelligent hardware serving the laser industry on internet platform.
It is committed to helping improving sheet metal factory processing efficiency，providing users
immediate value. RayBox could connect to CypCut,CypNest,TubePro,TubesT,HypCut and
MES seamlessly，giving automatic transfer and storage management of processing drawings.
Raybox has powerful edge computing capabilities and provides real-time machine tool
processing statistics for sheet metal factories.

1.2 Features

Automatic transfer of processing drawing files

RayBox realizes the automatic transfer function of processing drawing files in smart factories.
It has large file storage and scheduling management functions, which has 1T hard disk
space,providing reading and writing processing drawings service for CypCut,HpyCut,TubePro.
The layout on CypNest and TubesT can be saved in RayBox. Cutting software can obtain
processing tasks and processing files from RayBox. RayBox provides a two-dimensional code
identification function for each processing file. The cutting software scans the two-dimensional
code with a scanning gun to automatically retrieve the processing files from RayBox for processing.
Connect with MES system
RayBox can realize the seamless connection of multiple Laser machine tools and MES system,
uniformly receive the processing task instructions and processing drawings of MES, and distribute
to different machine tools according to the rules. Real-time feedback of the processing progress
during processing, helping the MES system to jointly control and process multiple laser machine
tools to achieve a reasonable allocation of processing tasks.
Smart factory visualization screen
RayBox provides multi-dimensional statistical analysis of machine tools, provides machining

statistics, machining daily reports, operation statistics, cutting length and stroke statistics, piercing
number statistics, etc. RayBox provides external statistical output interfaces, and also provides
smart factory billboard function to feedback machine processing statistics and change the previous
manual statistical workload method.

2 Operating conditions

2.1 Hardware conditions

I3-9100 CPU、180W power supply、8G DDR4 RAM、1T hard disk、Two-year warranty；

2.2 Web environment

When using the RayBox, the RayBox can be on the Internet or on the internal LAN, but it must
be in the same network as the laser machine tool.

3 Instructions
The RayBox has a power-on self-start function, so it can be turned on when it is plugged
in.（Frequent abnormal power failures will cause data loss in the RayBox or damage to the
system. Please connect to a stable power supply, otherwise you will be at your own risk）
