2.6.4The functional structure of the auxiliary device and its working principle and
characteristics

Pneumatic system

The pneumatic system of the laser cutting machine has two parts. One part is the auxiliary gas for cutting,
it supplied to the cutting head, including clean and dry compressed air, high-purity oxygen and high-purity
nitrogen. The other part is auxiliary gas for machine running, which is clean and dry compressed air for
auxiliary functions such as the loading cylinder of the clamping workbench.
For compressed air, the air enter the compressor, then go through the gas storage tank and the
refrigeration dryer, it passes through a set of precision air processing system and becomes clean and dry gas.
It is divided into two paths, one is used as cutting gas, one way uses gas as a cylinder, etc. The pressure of
the compressed air is adjusted by the corresponding pressure regulating valve.
Cutting gas is divided into three kinds of gases: compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen, and these three
gases can be selected according to different requirements. Oxygen is mainly used to cut carbon steel;
nitrogen is mainly used to cut stainless steel and alloy steel; compressed air is mainly used for thin plate
cutting when customers have low requirements for the cutting effect. Choose different cutting gases for
different materials. In addition, the pressure sensor is installed in the cutting gas system to ensure that the
machine tool can stop working in time when the gas pressure is not enough, and avoid the scrap of cutting
parts. The air pressure threshold can be adjusted and set by the upper screw of the pressure sensor, the
compressed air and oxygen used for cutting can also be adjusted by the program-controlled proportional
regulating valve.
The role of compressed air in the machine tool: 1. Drive the clamping cylinder, clamp the worktable, and
keep the worktable from moving during the cutting process to make the cutting go smoothly. 2. Auxiliary
feeding. 3. Used for auxiliary cutting, removing smoke and dust, and cleaning the cutting surface during
cutting.

Waterway 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 through the radiator in the laser,
then returns to the water chiller; the other part of the water cools the optical path system and the cutting
head.

Oil circuit lubrication system

The oil circuit lubrication system of the laser cutting machine consists of an automatic oil pump and
pipelines. The pumping interval of the oil pump is 4 hours (adjustable), and each pumping time is 10
seconds (adjustable). When the oil level of the oil pump is too low, the oil pump will alarm and sound an
alarm, at this time, add standard lubricating oil to the oil pump.

9) If there is any failure in the laser source working process, please record the failure time, failure
phenomenon, and system working status at the time of failure, and then troubleshoot the cause of the failure.
If you have any questions, please contact the staff of Leapion.
b) Adjustment of the coaxiality between the nozzle hole and the laser beam:
The adjustment steps of the coaxiality between the nozzle hole and the laser beam are as follows:
1) Apply ink pad (usually red is better) on the outlet end of the nozzle, and stick a sticker on the outlet end
of the nozzle. As the picture shows.

Figure 13 Adjust coaxial step 1

2) Use 10-20 watts of power to punch holes manually.

3) Take off the self-adhesive tape sticker and keep its direction in order to compare with the nozzle.
4) Under normal circumstances, a black spot will be left on the self-adhesive paper, which is burned by
the laser. But if the nozzle center deviates too much from the laser beam center, you will not be able to see
this black spot (the laser beam hits the nozzle wall).

Figure 14 Nozzle deviation is too large

If the center point of the shot is sometimes large or small, please pay attention to whether the conditions
are consistent and whether the focusing lens is loose.

Pay attention to the direction that the black dot deviates from the nozzle center and adjust the nozzle
position.

Figure 16 Adjust the nozzle position, coaxial with the laser beam

5) Nozzle aperture
The aperture size has a critical influence on the cutting quality and perforation quality.
If the nozzle diameter is too large, the molten material splashing around during cutting may pass through
the nozzle hole and splash the mirror.
The larger the aperture, the higher the probability, the worse the protection of the focus mirror and the
shorter the mirror life.

Current status: Displays the current motion status of the servo system. There are the following motion states:

A. Stop: Z axis is at a standstill.

B. Slow stop: After receiving the stop command in the motion state, there will be a short slow stop
transition state. After it has completely stopped, the status becomes "Stopped".

C. During idle movement: The uplift during processing is the idle movement of Z axis.

D. Following: When perforating and cutting, the floating head is in the state of following the cut plate.

E. Resetting: Back to the mechanical origin of Z axis.

F. Jog: Manually jog the Z axis.

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

Follow-up gain level Lv: The follow-up gain level ranges from 1 to 30, and the default is 15 levels. The
larger the number of stages, the smaller the average follow-up error, 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
generate self-oscillation. This parameter can be obtained through automatic adjustment.

Set following height: Press <Follow high><Follow low> on the main interface to adjust the actual
following height in 0.1mm steps. 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
following close, the axis will automatically lift to the docking coordinate (the default is Z=0 position, press
<F2> to enter the parameter interface, and you can also modify the docking coordinate)

In addition, in the mode of Ethernet control, the following height is set by CypCut software.

Dynamic error: In the following state, this value reflects the real-time error during follow-up motion.

The distance between the floating head and the board surface H: Within the capacitance measurement
range (calibration range), the distance between the floating head and the board surface = "setting following
height" + "dynamic error". When the measurement range is exceeded, the "set following height" + "dynamic
error" is always equal to the calibration range.

Current Z-axis coordinate: After returning to the origin, the Z-axis establishes a mechanical coordinate
system. The downward movement coordinate increases.

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 zero. Z-axis
jog speed: L jog at low speed, H jog at high speed. Press the <shift> button to switch the jog speed gear.

d) Calibration interface

In the main interface, press <F1> to enter the [calibration interface]. As shown below:

Figure 19 Calibration interface

When using BCS100 for the first time, you must first do servo calibration, then float head calibration,
and finally do automatic adjustment. For future use, just do float calibration under the condition of
temperature drift, and servo calibration and automatic adjustment are unnecessary.

Servo calibration

The purpose of servo calibration is to eliminate the zero drift of the servo motor. Press the <1> key to
enter the [Servo Calibration] interface. As shown below:

Figure 20 Servo calibration

Due to the servo calibration, the motor will oscillate back and forth in a small amplitude. Therefore, it
is necessary to jog to the middle of the stroke first to prevent exceeding the stroke range during
oscillation. Then press <ENT> to start calibration

Figure 21

After the system is automatically calibrated, it returns to the superior interface.

Float calibration

The purpose of floating head capacitance calibration is to measure the correspondence between the
capacitance and position of the floating head and the plate. Press <2> to enter the [Floating Head Calibration]
interface. As shown below:

If you haven't done any settings before, press <F4> to set various parameters of calibration.

calibration range so that the floating head has enough deceleration distance.

When calibrating materials with small capacitance changes such as acrylic and
plastic, you need to set the bumper capacitance before starting calibration. In the
calibration interface, lightly touch the floating head to the surface of the material,
press "[F1] Current", and set the current capacitance value to the capacitance of the
touch panel

Smart touch board After enabling this function, a method of intelligently identifying the trend of
detection capacitance change is used to determine whether the floating head is touching the
board surface during calibration. With this method, it is not necessary to set the
bumper capacitor, and the calibration of non-metallic objects can also be achieved.
In situations with large interference (such as DIF value greater than 30), please turn
off this function. Otherwise, during calibration, it may rise without touching the
board surface.

table 4 Figure 22 Float calibration

Press <ENT> to save the parameters and return to the previous interface.

Before calibration, move the floating head close to the board surface (the distance from the board
surface is about 1~5mm), and keep the board surface still without vibration. Press <ENT> again to start

calibration.

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

(1) . The floating head moves slowly down to detect the bumper.

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

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

(4). After touching the board, move up the set calibration distance to detect the smoothness and
characteristic curve of the sensor.

If the above steps are not executed, and there is an alarm after the calibration is completed, it may be
considered that there is a problem with the hardware or the connection line. A simple way to check the
hardware or connection is to touch the nozzle with metal to see if the capacitance will change.If the
capacitance changes very little or does not change or is always 0, it is considered that the sensor is not

connected or working normally. 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 significance of the calibration results is as follows:

Stability: It reflects the static characteristics of the capacitor. If the calibrated index is not ideal, it may
be due to plate vibration or strong external interference.

Smoothness: reflects the dynamic characteristics of capacitance changes during 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 settings, the capacitance-position curve will be displayed. The
normal curve should be smooth, as shown below:

Figure 24

If the curve is not smooth, there are undulations or burrs, indicating that the result is not ideal and needs
to be recalibrated. If the results after repeated calibration are still not satisfactory, the user needs to recheck
the hardware installation and connection of the system. In addition, you can also view the calibration curve
by pressing <6> on the main interface

When the float is calibrated, various alarms will appear if the calibration fails, as listed below:

Calibration alarm name meaning

Touch board detection timeout During calibration, touch the board downward for a long time
without detecting the touch board. When this alarm occurs,
firstly, confirm that the floating head is close to the board
surface (usually within 5mm) before calibration, and secondly,
confirm that the sensor is connected and working normally. If
the Z axis does not go down during calibration, consider that the
resolution of the analog quantity may be insufficient, and the
speed gain parameter needs to be modified.

Leaving board detection timeout If during the first step of the calibration, the nozzle does not
touch the board surface, but directly lifts up, and it shows that
the detection of leaving the board is timed out, then the system
may think that the nozzle has been touching the board. First,
confirm that the sensor is connected and working properly.
Secondly, check whether the parameters of the touch plate
capacitance are correctly set. If the plate is a metal plate, set the

The greater the number of stages, the faster the downward follow-up
action. But if the gain is too strong, the instantaneous deceleration will be
too large. This parameter can only be set automatically after automatic
adjustment. At the same time, the follow-up gain level is also automatically
set after the automatic adjustment (the main interface can also be set
manually).

Differential time constant The default value of this parameter is 40. Different machines have different
values. The smaller this parameter is, the easier it is to overshoot, but the
time to reach is faster.The parameter value can be obtained through
automatic adjustment.

i) Edge finding and cutting functions

As shown below:
Floating laser head

Figure 48

The edge-seeking cutting function is widely used in the occasions of sheet corner cutting, sheet division
and residual material cutting. This function supports the cutting head to cut in from the outside of the sheet
and cut out from the edge of the sheet. This function is valid only when using CypCut software.

Before cutting, you first need to follow the cutting head to the vicinity of the cutting point of the plate,
and set this position as the edge seek height. And turn on the edge seeking cutting function in CypCut
software.

When actually performing edge-seeking cutting, the cutting head first descends to the edge-seeking height,
and then performs cutting motion. When the system detects that the height of the floating head from the
sheet is less than the “edge-in-sensitive” parameter, the system will immediately start to follow. When the
floating head cuts out of the edge of the board, the system judges that the follow error of the floating head
lasts for the time of the “out-side delay” longer than the “out-side sensitivity” parameter, it will immediately
raise to the edge seek height.

There are several matters needing attention when using edge finding cutting:

Before cutting for the first time, be sure to set the "edge seek height".

Ensure that the Z-axis coordinates of each cut-in point of the sheet are within 5mm to prevent some cut-in
points cannot be sensed when entering the edge, and some cut-in points are sensed prematurely.

When entering the edge, if the floating head follows in advance, the parameter of “Edge Entry Sensitive”
should be changed to a smaller value. If the floating head lags behind, or does not follow, the “in-edge
sensitive” parameter should be increased.

When the slope of the plate is larger and the cutting speed is faster, the parameter of “Edge Out
Sensitivity” needs to be increased appropriately

When the capacitance sampling interference is large, or the spark is large, and the board vibration is large,
the "outside delay" parameter can be appropriately increased.

By adjusting the "positive saturation speed", the depth of the cutting edge is suppressed. When this
parameter is set too small, it will not work, it will affect the response speed of the follower.

When the edge-seeking cutting function is enabled, when the condition of edge-out sensitivity is met, it
will be raised 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 through input and output ports
(hereinafter referred to as IO ports). When using Ethernet control, the IO port control cable does not need to
be connected.

When using input and output port control, the input port function is defined as follows:

Input port definition

IN1 Follow to cutting height
IN2 Follow to the height of the perforation

position. Close IN2, no action. Turn on IN1, turn on the follow-up series of actions (direct follow,
segmented perforation, and progressive perforation can be set in the process parameters), close IN1, and
return to stop.

When the start up signal is set to 1, it will not return to dock when IN1 is turned off. Only when IN3 is
turned on will it go back to docking.

k) Preamplifier

The uniquely designed preamplifier can sample and amplify the capacitance 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
transmission cable length is 100 meters, there is basically no parasitic capacitance, which can ensure that the
signal is not attenuated and has strong stability. The appearance of the preamplifier is shown in the figure
below.

Figure 49 Amplifier appearance

When using the sensor, you should pay attention to the following items:

(1)Dry and pure auxiliary gas should be used during cutting. When the gas contains impurities
such as

water and oil, the working gap will have a sudden change, and even cause the sensor to work
abnormally.

(2)Clean the sensor after it is dirty. And when cleaning, you need to use clean, dry cotton cloth to
clean, never use liquid to clean the cutting head and ceramics. After cleaning, connect the assembly
correctly.

(3)The nozzle, ceramic body, and cable can be replaced at any time.The nozzle can be replaced
with any shape and model, but the floating head capacitance calibration must be redone after
replacement.

4.3.3 The role and adjustment of the nozzle

Nozzle

The nozzle is a consumable product. The design of the nozzle and the flow of the air jet directly affect
the cutting quality; 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 rebounding upward into the cutting head and damaging
the focusing lens.

The nozzle can change the cutting gas ejection status, and can control the area and size of gas diffusion,
thereby affecting the cutting quality. The picture below shows the gas jet when the nozzle is installed and
when the nozzle is not installed.

The influence of nozzle on cutting quality and the choice of nozzle aperture

The relationship between the nozzle and the cutting quality:

When the nozzle center and the laser center are not on the same axis, the impact on the cutting quality:

Affects the cutting section. When the cutting gas is sprayed, the air volume is uneven, which makes the
cutting section more likely to have melting on one side Stain, which is not on the other side, has little effect
on cutting thin plates below 3mm. When cutting plates above 3mm, its effect is more serious, and sometimes
it will not be able to cut.

It affects the quality of sharp corners. When cutting workpieces with sharp corners or small angles, local
overmelting is likely to occur. When cutting thick plates, it may not be possible to cut. Affects perforation,
instability during perforation, time is difficult to control, penetration of thick plates will cause overmelting,
and penetration conditions are not easy to grasp, and the impact on thin plates is small.

To sum up, the concentricity between the center of the nozzle and the laser is one of the important factors
that cause the cutting quality, especially when the workpiece is thicker, its influence is greater. Therefore,
the concentricity between the nozzle center and the laser must be adjusted to obtain a better cutting section.

Note: When the nozzle is deformed or there are melting stains on the nozzle, its impact on the cutting
quality is the same as described above. Therefore, the nozzle should be placed carefully and not scratched to
avoid deformation; the melting stains on the nozzle should be cleaned up in time . The quality of the nozzle
has high precision requirements during manufacturing, and the correct method is required during installation.
If various conditions need to be changed during cutting due to poor nozzle quality, the nozzle should be
replaced in time.

The choice of nozzle aperture The difference of nozzle aperture is shown in the table below

The difference of nozzle aperture is shown in the table below

Nozzle aperture Gas flow rate Melt removal ability

Small fast Strong
Big slow Weak

table 21 Relationship between aperture and auxiliary gas flow rate

There are several types of nozzle apertures: φ1.0mm, φ1.5mm, φ2.0mm, φ2.5mm, etc. At present, two
types of nozzle diameters, φ1.5mm and φ2mm are often used. The difference between the two is:

Thin plates below 3mm: use φ1.5mm, the cutting surface will be thin; use φ2mm, the cutting surface
will be thicker, and the corners are prone to melting stains.

Email: info@leapion.com︱Tel:+086-0531-88982620 - 63 -
ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

Thick plates above 3mm: Due to the higher cutting power, the relative heat dissipation time is longer,
and the relative cutting time also increases. With 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.

In summary, the size of the nozzle aperture has a serious impact on cutting quality and perforation
quality. At present, laser cutting mostly uses nozzles with φ1.5mm and φ2mm apertures.

The larger the nozzle aperture, the worse the protection of the protective lens. Because the sparks of the
melt splash during cutting, the probability of bouncing upward is great, making the life of the lens shorter.

4.3.4 Adjustment of beam focus

Introduction

In the laser cutting process, the relative position of the beam focus and the surface of the cut sheet has a
great influence on the cutting quality, and it is very important to adjust the focus position correctly.
Generally, the best sheet focus cutting position can be obtained directly by changing the focus test cutting,
and the focus position can be adjusted by rotating the laser head and rotating the nut.

Description of the relationship between the position of the focus and the cutting section

The following table lists the laser cutting focus at different positions when cutting different plates, the
impact on the punching and cutting section of the plate, and the selection of the focal position when cutting
plates of different materials and thicknesses is shown in the table below.

Selection of laser cutting speed

When laser cutting, the cutting speed selection is determined according to the material and thickness of
the cut sheet. Different cutting speeds will have a great impact on the quality of laser cutting. Choosing an
appropriate cutting speed can not only improve the efficiency of laser cutting, but also get good cutting
quality. The following discusses the influence of different cutting speeds on cutting quality:

The effect of too fast laser cutting feed speed on cutting quality

It may cause inability to cut and sparks.

Some areas can be cut off, but some areas cannot be cut off.

Cause the entire cutting section to be thicker, but no melting stains are generated.

As shown in the figure, the cutting feed speed is too fast, causing the sheet to be unable to be cut in
time, the cutting section shows an oblique streak road, and melting stains occur in the lower half.

The effect of too slow laser cutting feed speed on cutting quality:

Cause the cut sheet to be overmelted, and the cut section is rough.

The cutting seam will widen accordingly, causing the entire area to melt at the small rounded or sharp
corners, and the ideal cutting effect cannot be obtained.

Low cutting efficiency affects production capacity.

4.3.6 Selection of appropriate cutting feed speed:

The speed of 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; if the sparks appear non-spread and
few, and condense together, it means the feed Too slow. The appropriate cutting speed is shown in the figure,
as shown in figure 16, the cutting surface has a relatively stable line, and there is no melting stain on the
lower part.

Figure 53 Effect diagram of cutting spark produced by cutting speed

4.3.7 Selection of laser cutting gas and pressure

During laser cutting, different cutting gases are selected according to the material of the cut sheet. 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 and heat dissipation, timely blowing off the melting stains produced by

Email: info@leapion.com︱Tel:+086-0531-88982620 - 66 -

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

cutting, preventing the cutting melting stains from rebounding upwards into the nozzle, and protecting the
focusing lens.

1) The influence of cutting gas and pressure on cutting quality:

The cutting gas helps to dissipate heat and support combustion, blow away the molten stains, and
obtain a better quality cut section.

a When the pressure of the cutting gas is insufficient, the cutting quality will be affected as follows:
melting stains are generated during cutting, and the cutting speed cannot meet the requirements and affect
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 wider; at the same time, it will cause partial melting of the cut section and fail to
form a good cut section.

2) The influence of cutting gas pressure on perforation:

a When the gas pressure is too low, the laser will not easily penetrate the cut sheet, and the punching
time will increase, resulting in low productivity.

b When the gas pressure is too high, the penetration point will melt, forming a larger melting point,
which will affect the cutting quality. In laser drilling, a higher gas pressure is generally used for punching
thin plates, while a lower gas pressure is used for punching thick plates.

When the laser cutting machine is cutting ordinary carbon steel, the thicker the material, the lower the
pressure of the cutting gas. When using nitrogen to cut stainless steel, 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 selection of cutting gas and pressure during laser cutting must be adjusted according to the
actual situation during cutting. In specific applications, different cutting parameters should be selected
according to specific conditions.

4.3.8 Explanation of the influence of laser cutting power on cutting quality

When 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 board. If the power is
too large or too small, a good cutting section cannot be obtained.

a When laser cutting, if the laser power is too small, it will be impossible to cut.

b When the laser power is set too large, the entire cutting surface will melt, and the cutting seam will be
too large to obtain good cutting quality.

c When the laser power setting is insufficient, cutting melt stains will occur, and tumor scars will be
generated on the cutting section. Therefore, with proper laser power and proper cutting gas and pressure,
good cutting quality can be obtained without melting stains.

below correspond to the corresponding graphics. Click them to insert a new graphic on the drawing board.
There are three shortcut keys at the bottom, which are align center, explode selected graphics, and round
corners

On the right side of the drawing area is the 'Craft Toolbar‛, which we sometimes directly refer to as the
'Right Toolbar‛ in the follow-up instructions, including a 'Craft‛ button and 17 square buttons; clicking the
Process ‛button will open the 'Craft‛ dialog Box, where you can set most of the process parameters;Each of
the 17 color square buttons corresponds to a layer. When a graphic is selected, click them to move the
selected graphic to the specified layer; when no graphic is selected, click them to set the default layer for the
next drawing.The first white square represents a special layer, "background layer", the graphics on this layer
will be displayed in white and will not be processed. The last two layers respectively represent the first and
last layer that will be processed .

The bottom of the interface includes three scrolling ribbon text windows. The left side is the "drawing
window", all relevant prompts or input information of drawing instructions are displayed here; the middle
window is the "system window", and other system messages except for drawing will be displayed here, and
each message has time Mark and display in different colors according to the importance of the message,
including prompts, warnings, errors, etc. The window on the right is the "alarm window", all the alarm
information will be displayed here with a red background and white text.

At 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 processed graphics that has been
drawn, and the right side of the status bar includes several common information, including the location of
the mouse, the processing status, and the location of the laser head. The latter is a fine-tuning distance
parameter, which is used to use the arrow keys to quickly move the graph, and the last one is the model of
the control card.

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 are coordinate system selection,
manual control, processing control, processing options and processing count.

c) Toolbar

CypCut's toolbar uses a style called Ribbon, which divides frequently used functions into columns and
partitions, and uses many large-size buttons for easy operation. The following figure helps you understand
this new type of toolbar:

Figure 55

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

The entire toolbar is divided into 4 "pages", which can be selected through the 4 menus of "Start",
"Drawing", "Numerical Control" and "View". When you select special objects such as text, the page related
to the selected content will also appear; during processing, there is going to be a "Processing" page , and you
cannot switch to other pages before stopping.

The toolbars of each page are arranged in multiple "columns" according to their functions, such as
"View" and "Geometric Transformation"; generally the first button of the column is of large size; There will
be a small button called “extended button” in the lower right corner of some columns , press this button can
open a related dialog box.

Please note that there is a small triangle below some large buttons, called "drop-down button". Pressing
this button will bring up a "drop-down menu" related to this button, providing richer operation options.
When the mouse moves over this button, two distinct rectangles are displayed. Pressing the upper part of the
button directly executes the corresponding function, while pressing the lower part of the button will open a
menu.

If you have used Office 2007, Windows 7 or other programs that use the Ribbon style before, you may
already be very familiar with this arrangement. It doesn't matter even if you use it for the first time, we
believe you will like this style soon.

d) File menu

In the upper left corner of the toolbar, there is a special menu called "File Menu", which contains some
file-related menu items. Click the "file" button to open the menu, as shown below:

b) Pretreatment

While importing graphics, CypCut will automatically remove extremely small graphics, remove
duplicate lines, merge connected lines, automatically smooth, sort and break up. Generally, you can start
setting process parameters without other processing. If the automatic processing process cannot meet
your requirements, you can open the menu "File"-"User Parameters" for configuration.

In general, the graphics to be processed by the software is thought to be closed graphics by

software itself. If the file that you open contains unclosed graphics, the software may prompt you and
display it in red.But this function may be turned off ,in order to view the unclosed graphics on the board,

you can click the common menu bar.These two buttons in the display button can highlight the
unclosed graphics; you can also click the large button "Select" on the leftmost side of the toolbar, and
then click "Select Unclosed Graphics" to select all unclosed graphics.

If in some cases, you need to split the graph manually, please click the curve split button
under the "Optimize" button in the common menu bar, and then click the mouse at the position that
needs to be split. To merge graphics, please select the graphics to be merged, and then click the Merge
Connected Line button.

c) Process settings

In this step, you may use most of the functions in the‘Process Settings’ column in the common
menu bar, including setting lead-in and lead-out lines, setting compensation, etc. The large-size button

"lead" can be used to set the lead-in and lead-out line, this button is used to set the overcut,
gap or sealing parameters; the button "compensation" is used for slit compensation.The button ‘micro
joint’ is used to insert small uncut micro joints in the graphics.The button "Reverse" can reverse a single
graph.The button ‛Cooling Point’ is used to set the cooling point in the graph. Click the ‘Start Point’
button, and then click where 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 a
lead-in line.

As a quick start tutorial, you can press Ctrl+A to select all the graphics, and then click the 'Leader‛
button, set the parameters of the lead, and then click OK, the software will automatically find the
appropriate position to add the lead-in lead according to your settings line. Click the small triangle
under the ‘lead’, select ‘check lead-in’ to check the legitimacy of the lead-in lead, and select ‘distinguish
the inner and outer molds’ to automatically optimize the lead according to the inner and outer molds.

Click the ‘craft’ button on the right toolbar to set detailed cutting process parameters. The ‘Layer
Parameter Setting’ dialog contains almost all the parameters related to the cutting effect.

d) Tool path planning

In this step, sort the graphs as needed. Click the ‘Sort’ button under the common or nesting menu
bar to automatically sort, 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

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

whether to automatically distinguish between internal and external 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 with the mouse to set the processing order. By
holding down the mouse and drawing a line from one graph to another, you can specify the order
between the two graphs.

Select several graphics that have been arranged in order, and then click the "Group" button under
the Common or Layout menu bar to fix their order, and subsequent automatic and manual sorting will
no longer affect the order‚'group The graphics inside the group will always be as a whole.

Select a ‘group’ and right-click to select sort within the group,you can also automatically sort the
graphics inside the group.

e) Inspection before processing

Before the actual cutting, the processing track can be checked. Click each alignment button to align
the graphics accordingly. Drag the interactive preview progress bar as shown in the figure below (under
the drawing menu bar) to quickly view the graphics processing sequence. Click the interactive preview
button can check the graphics processing sequence one by one.

Figure 59

Click the simulation button on the "console" to perform simulation processing, and the simulation
processing speed can be adjusted through the "simulation speed" function on the CNC page.

f) Actual processing

Please note that this step must be run on the actual machine tool and must be supported by the
dongle and control card.

Before formal processing, you need to match the graphics on the screen with the machine tool.
Click the "Preview" button on the left of the arrow keys on the "Console" to check the relative position
between the graphics to be processed and the machine 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’, "Dock Point" will be shifted to the ‘Laser Head Position’, visually the overall graphic
has shifted.

Figure 60

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 machine origin position is correct, and you can
correct it through ‘CNC-Back to Origin’. If after previewing, it is found that all or part of the graphics is
outside the machine format, it means that the stroke range may be exceeded during processing.

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

After checking that the screen is correct, click the "Go Frame" button on the "Console", the system
will control the machine tool to walk around the outermost frame of the graphics to be processed, and
you can check whether the processing position is correct. You can also click the ‘empty move’ button to
run the complete graphics to be processed without turning on the laser, so as to check in more detail
whether there may be improper processing.

Finally, click the ‘start’ button to start the formal processing, and click the ‘pause’ 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 use the ‘back’ and ‘forward’ buttons to trace back
along the processing track; click the ‘continue’ button to continue processing。

Click the "stop" button to stop the processing. According to your setting, the laser head can
automatically return to the corresponding point. As long as you do not change the shape of the graph or
start a new round of machining, clicking the 'Breakpoint Location' button will allow you to locate where
you stopped last time, and clicking the 'Breakpoint Continue' button will allow you to continue
machining at the same place you stopped last time.

5.4.3 Graphics operations

CypCut provides common drawing functions, which can be easily used from the left drawing

toolbar. The use of these drawing functions is mostly similar to AutoCAD, which is very intuitive. This
manual does not introduce this part in detail, if you have any questions, please contact customer service
personnel or Pacho Electronics for help. Some special graphical operations of CypCut as a special
software for laser cutting are described below.

Graphic display effect

The first sub-column "Display" under the common menu bar provides multiple buttons to help
control the display effect, as shown below:

Figure 61

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

drawing board in the open state , and the arrows on the graphics in the closed state will
disappear.

When you click the ‘ center’ button when you select a graphic, the selected graphic will be
displayed in the center of the frame. If you click directly without selecting any graphics, the overall
graphic will be displayed in the center of the frame.

Click the drop-down arrow in the lower right corner of the column to open a dialog box for more
detailed control of the drawing board, including turning on and off the automatic adsorption of key
points, turning on and off the ruler, and controlling the accuracy of mouse picking.

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

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 tool breadth in the center on the screen.
You can select the above operations by right-clicking ‘zoom’ on the drawing board.

Select graphics

CypCut provides a wealth of graphics selection methods. The most basic operation is ‘click to
select’, you can select the graphic 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
solid blue semi-transparent rectangle will be displayed, and only the graphics completely covered by the
rectangle will be selected; when dragging the mouse from right to left , Displays a cyan
semi-transparent rectangle with a dashed frame. As long as any part of the graphic is within the
rectangular frame, the graphic will be selected.

The schematic diagram of these two options is as follows. The left picture shows the selection from
left to right, BC will be selected, the right picture shows the selection from right to left, and ABCD will
be selected. Flexible use of these two methods can make it more convenient to select the graphics you
need.

Figure 62

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, and 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, and selecting all graphics smaller than the specified size. Among
them, "Select Similar Graphics" allows you to select all the similar graphics on the drawing board. For
example, first select a 5mm circle, and then click "Select Similar Graphics" to select all 5mm circles.

Geometric transformation

Under the common menu bar, the geometric transformation section provides a wealth of geometric
transformation functions. Select the graphics you want to transform before use.
Most common geometric transformations can be completed by clicking the
drop-down triangle of "Geometric transformation", such as mirroring, Rotate,
align, scale, etc.

a)Size change

CypCut provides 7 quick size changes, which can be completed through the
drop-down menu under the ‘size’ button. Click the small triangle under the

Email: info@leapion.com︱Tel:+086-0531-88982620 - 82 -
ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
Figure 63
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

"Size" button to open a drop-down menu that provides operations for changing the selected graphics to
a certain size. As shown on the right:

Figure 64

When the lock in the interface is locked , the length and width are locked in proportion to the

original size. If you want to input the length and width separately, click this button to unlock the

locked state, and the button will change to the state.

"Zoom Center" can specify the position relationship between the new graphic and the original graphic
after zooming. For example, selecting "Upper Left" means that the new graphic and the original graphic will
be aligned with the upper left corner after transformation, and other parts will be scaled based on the upper
left corner.

Please note that the lead-in lead-out line and slit compensation set for the graph will not be changed at
the same time, and the value of lead-in lead-in line and slit compensation will remain unchanged after the
dimension is modified.

B) Interactive geometric transformation

CypCut provides 3 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 graphics to be operated, then click the corresponding
menu or button, and then operate 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 proceed as follows:

First select the rectangle you want to operate, then click the small triangle below ‘geometric
transformation’ to open the drop-down menu, select‘Rotate at any angle’, the bottom of the screen prompts
‘Please specify a 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 below:

Figure 65

Click the mouse, the bottom of the screen prompts ‘please specify the starting point of rotation or the
angle of rotation’, then directly enter 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
figure, then the first 4 step are same as above, proceed as follows from step 5: move the mouse to the lower
right corner of the rectangle, click the mouse, and a horizontal line will be formed as the starting line of
rotation. The screen prompts "Please specify the rotation destination". Move the mouse at this time, and the
graphics will follow the mouse to rotate. Click the mouse at the desired rotation destination to complete the
operation. As shown below:

Figure 66

The operations of interactive zooming and mirroring at any angle are similar to this, so I won't repeat
them here.

C）Quickly pan and copy

CypCut software allows you to use the arrow keys to quickly translate the graph. After selecting the
graph, press any direction key, the graph will translate a distance in the corresponding direction. The

distance parameter can be entered in the ‘fine move distance’ window at the
bottom right corner of the main interface. This function can help you temporarily quickly remove a certain
graphic, then focus on the design of other graphics, and then quickly move back to the original place.
Because the fine-tuning distance parameter can be accurately controlled, you don't have to worry about the
deviation of the graphic position.

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

Pressing the arrow key while holding down the Ctrl key will copy the selected figure. For example,
pressing 'Ctrl' and 'to the right' at the same time will make a copy of the selected image at 100mm to the
right.

Coordinate and parameter input

In some cases, you want to draw with precise coordinates. CypCut allows you to directly input
coordinates.The input format is <X coordinate><comma,><Y coordinate>. For example, to input
coordinates (100, 100), you can directly input ‘100, 100’. The entered coordinates and parameters are
displayed in blue.

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

1) Click the icon, the screen prompts "Please specify a starting point"

2) Enter the coordinates '0,0' and press Enter, the screen displays 'Please specify the opposite corner'

3) Enter the coordinates '300,200‛Enter, the screen displays 'Please specify the radius of the fillet or
[Chamfer (F)]'

4) Enter 50 and press Enter. All operations are complete.

Figure 67

Automatic adsorption

During the drawing process, CypCut will provide automatic adsorption function as required, including
automatic adsorption to the grid, adsorption to the key points of the graphic, and adsorption to the graphic
boundary.

You can turn off the automatic adsorption function. The operation steps are to click the ‘File’ menu,
select ‘User Parameters’, select the ‘Drawing Board’ tab in the opened dialog box, and cancel the ‘Key
Points Automatic Attachment’ option. The precision of automatic adsorption is also set in the above dialog
box.

Text input

CypCut supports text input and text to curve conversion. Click the ‘text’ button on the drawing toolbar
on the left, and click the mouse at the position where you want to insert the text to insert the text, and the
newly inserted text is automatically selected.

When you select text at any time, a new tab "text" will appear in the toolbar, through which you can

modify the content, style, and size of the text. As shown below:

Figure 68

Please note that once the text is converted to a curve, the above options are no longer available. If you
want to make text with a specific font and a specific effect, please design it before turning it into a curve.

Graphics optimization

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

Figure 69

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

a) Smooth curve

Enter.

The picture 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, the user is required to perform the fitting according to the machining
accuracy required by the user.

b) Curve segmentation

Curve segmentation is to break the closed graph into two graphs, and the Figure 70
user can edit the two graphs separately.

Click the button and click the mouse at the position to be divided. The curve division process
can be continued until the ESC cancels the command or switches to other commands.

c) Combine connected lines

Graphics drawn with AutoCAD often contain graphics that are visually connected but not connected in fact.
They can be merged by merging connecting lines. Select the graphics that need to be merged, and then click

the button to enter the merge accuracy and then confirm.

Figure 71

Please note that the visual end of the figure may not be the geometric end of the figure, and There may
be many redundant line return to origin at the end point.These graphics need to be decomposed by "curve
split", then delete the redundant graphics, and then merge them.

d) Remove small graphics

Sometimes the imported graphics may contain those visually imperceptible graphics, resulting in the
graphics display size is small or moved to an abnormal position during processing.This type of graphics can
be deleted with the ‘Remove Small Graphics’ function. Click the ‘Remove Small Graphics’ button on the
toolbar, set the size range of the graphics, and then confirm. Graphics smaller than this size will be deleted,
other graphics will be retained

e) Remove duplicate lines

This function is used to eliminate the visually overlapping graphics until only one is left. Clicking
"Remove Duplicate Lines" will search and clean up all graphics.

5.4.4 Process settings

This section introduces the process setting related functions provided by CypCut. Since most process
parameters are directly related to the material to be cut, the laser source used, and the air pressure, please set
according to the actual process requirements. All the parameters mentioned here, including those in the
picture, are just as examples for reference and should not be considered as guiding parameters.

Warning! !! Inappropriate or wrong parameters may result in poor cutting effect or even damage
to the machine tool. Please set it carefully.

Lead in and lead out line.

a) Distinguish internal and external molds

When opening external files such as DXF, CypCut will automatically distinguish the inner and outer
molds. If you make changes to the graphics during the editing process, the relationship between the inner
and outer molds has changed, but at this time you need to distinguish the inner and outer molds again, please

click the button, any sorting method can distinguish the inner and outer molds(This needs to be
checked in ‘Distinguish between internal and external molds when sorting’ This option is located in the
drop-down menu of the sort button and is checked by default)Or directly click the drop-down list of the
"lead" button and select "Distinguish between inner and outer mold".

CypCut distinguishes the inner and outer molds according to the surrounding relationship. The
outermost layer is always used as the outer mold, the next layer of the outer mold is the inner mold, the next
layer of the inner mold is then the outer mold, and so on. Unclosed graphics cannot form a layer.If you want
to start the incised cutting from a certain layer, you can select all the graphics from this layer and all

graphics inside, group them, and then distinguish the inner and outer molds by " "

When adding leads, the outer mold is positive cut and introduced from the outside, and the inner mold
is overcast cut and introduced from the inside. To manually set overcast and yang cut, please select the graph

to be set,Then click the button under the common menu bar.

b) Automatic lead-in and lead-out

Select the graph that needs to set the lead-in and lead-out line, and then click the icon under the

figure below:

The selectable types are straight

line, arc and straight line + arc

Select this option to add a small circle

at the starting point of the lead-in

You can choose to add the leader from

the vertex or the long edge first

Enter a number between 0-1, the lead will

be introduced in this proportion of the total
length of the graph

Select this option, only modify the type of

lead, without changing the position

Select this option to set the leader

line only for closed graphics

Figure 72

The supported lead types include arc and straight line and straight plus arc, and the supported
parameters include lead type, angle, length and radius. You can also choose whether to add a small round
hole at the start of the lead-in.

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 in the right figure. The angle set at this time is actually the
angle between the line connecting the start and end points of the lead and the graphics to be cut. The lead
wire is similar to this.

Please note that the automatic selection of a suitable lead-in position will determine the lead-in position
according to the pre-set priority vertices or preferential long sides of the graph, so the lead-in position, type
and other parameters before the graph will be covered. If you have a fixed requirement for the lead position,
you can choose to set a uniform position according to the total length of the graph or not change the lead
position and only change the type option.

is used to set the lead seal, gap, and over in turn. Select the graphics to be set, and then click
the corresponding button. The setting of the size of "Gap/Over" is only valid when setting the gap/over later,
and the previously set gap/over size remains unchanged.

Kerf compensation

Select the graphics to be compensated, and then click the, button on the tool bar to
perform kerf compensation.

The kerf width should be measured according to the actual cutting result. The compensated trajectory is
shown in white on the drawing board, and the compensated trajectory will run during processing; the
compensated original image will not be processed, only in the drawing board. It is displayed for easy
operation.

The direction of kerf compensation can be manually selected, or it can be automatically judged
according to positive cut and overcast cut, the inner mold shrinks inward, and the outer mold expands
outward.

When kerf compensation, you can choose to transition the corners at a round or right angle, as shown in
the following figure:

Figure 76

The green in the figure is the original image, the white is the compensated trajectory, 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 compensation on both sides of the vertical line, the edge of the slit can be guaranteed to coincide with
the original image, but the corners need to be transitioned. Usually, the rounded transition can ensure that the
edge of the slit is still coincident with the original image during the transition, and the operation is smoother.

To facilitate selection, the commonly used compensation values can be edited under the commonly
used configuration.

To cancel the compensation, please select the graphics to be canceled, and then click the "Clear" button,
select "Cancel compensation" or directly select the "Cancel compensation" button under kerf compensation.

Micro Joint

Micro Joint" is used to insert a non-cutting micro-connection in the trajectory. The laser will turn off
when cutting to this point. Whether to turn off the gas and follow is determined by the relevant parameters
of the short-distance idle movement during cutting. The micro link is shown as a gap in the drawing board,
as shown in the figure below:

Figure 77

Click the button on the toolbar, and then click on the graphic where you want to add a
micro joint to add a micro joint. You can click continuously to insert multiple micro joints until you press
ESC to cancel or switch to other command. You can not only click on the graph, but also click on the
compensated track to insert a micro joint.

Please input the length of the micro link directly in the drawing window under the software, and the
new parameters will be effective for the operation after setting.

In addition to manually adding Micro Joint, CypCut also provides automatic micro connections. Click

the ‚ Auto Micro Joint button under the small triangle to the right of the button, set
the parameters in the pop-up dialog box, and then confirm.

You can choose to add 10 micro joints by quantity, such as adding 10 micro joints to each graphic, or
by distance, such as inserting one micro joint every 100mm.

The micro link may divide the graphic into several segments. If you want to modify the separated part
separately, you can click the "Blow Micro Link" button in the drop-down menu of the "Micro Link" button.
Treated as a separate entity for modification.

To delete micro joints, please select the graphics to be deleted, then click the "Clear" button and select
"Clear micro joints".

Group

The "group" in CypCut refers to the combination of multiple graphics or even multiple "groups" to
form a "group". The entire "group" will be treated as a whole. The order, the positional relationship between
graphics, and the layers are all fixed, and their internals will not be affected during sorting and dragging
operations.

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

Email: info@leapion.com︱Tel:+086-0531-88982620 - 92 -
ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

and then select "Disconnect all groups".

If there is a figure in the "group" that can contain all other figures, it is called an outer contour. A
"group" with an outer contour can be regarded as a "part". The “outer outline” of the “part” will be displayed
in bold on the drawing board. A “part” has an “outer contour” and an “inner hole”, which are the basis of the
layout between the “part” and the “part”.

Although CypCut software allows arbitrary graphics to be grouped and operated as a whole, it is still
recommended that users “logically” use the group function, and try to group only graphics that meet the
logic 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

When sorting the parts as a whole, it participates in sorting based on the outer contour or the first figure.
The order of the figures inside the part will not change during the sorting.

If you need to sort the graphics in the group without breaking the group, you can select the group,
right-click, and then select "Sort in Group".

Sorting within the group‛ operation will not change the order of the graphics in the subgroups in the
group.The order of internal sorting in the group is only related to the geometric characteristics of the
graphics, not to 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 treated as a whole during

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

Coedge Figure 78

Combining workpieces with the same boundary and sharing one 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, it can be co-edged, and CypCut provides the automatic adsorption function to drag the two graphics

together for co-edging.

Select two or more graphics that need to be co-edged, and then click the ‚‛ button on the toolbar,
CypCut will try to co-edge the selected graphics. If the selected graphics do not meet the co-edging
conditions, the bottom left of the interface The “Drawing” window of the square will display a prompt
message.

At present, CypCut only supports coedges around the graphics,

and cannot coedge straight lines in the recesses of the graphics.

After coedge, the graphics participating in coedge will be

combined into a group. If the graphics participating in coedge
contain other graphics, such as small round holes, please combine
the graphics and all internal graphics into a group first, and then
coedge, otherwise the relationship between the internal graphics and
the coedge group It will become meaningless, and the processing
sequence and the relationship between the internal and external
molds will be difficult to determine.

a) Common edge automatic adsorption

When dragging the graphics in CypCut, if you move to a

position that may be co-edge, CypCut will try to automatically
adsorb and display the corresponding prompt information.You can
simply drag the two graphics that need to be co-edge together. When
the two graphics are close, the automatic snap function will help you
quickly locate. Even when many graphics are selected and dragged
together, they can also be quickly positioned.
Figure 79
Once the two graphics are close together and have the same
boundary, just select them and press the "Coedge" button to complete coedge. If you want to disassemble the
co-edged parts to continue editing, or set their order, please select the parts, and then click "Disconnect"
under the common menu bar. After editing, you can press the "Group" button Combine them again.

b) Common edge with compensation

If you want to keep the slit compensation after coedging, please execute the compensation for the
graphics that need coedging first, and then perform coedging. Under any circumstance, "Coedge" keeps the
processing track unchanged. If the graphics to be coedged include compensation, after "Coedge", the
compensated track will be retained and the original image will disappear, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 80

In fact, in the above figure, the original image A cannot be coedges with the diagram B, only the
compensated trajectory P and the diagram B can be coedges. Even if the graph B is moved to be adjacent to
the graph A, it still cannot coedge, because the graph A is not the track to be processed.

Bridging

When a workpiece is composed of multiple parts, but you don't want to be scattered after cutting, you
can connect them by "Bridge". At the same time, this function can also reduce the number of perforations.
Use the "Bridge" function multiple times to achieve the effect of "one stroke" for all graphics.

To bridge two graphs, click the ‚‛ button, and then draw a straight line on the screen, and all
graphs intersecting the straight line will be “bridged” in pairs. As shown below:

Figure 81

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

Please note that the graphics will become a whole after the bridging. Before the "one stroke" is
completely cut, any part may not have been cut. Special attention should be paid to the changes in thermal
influence caused by this.

Cooling point

Click the ‛ button under the common menu bar, and click on the corresponding position of
the graph to set a cooling point at that position. After cutting to the cooling point, the laser will be turned off,
and the air 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

board, as shown in the figure below:

Figure 82

Like the micro joint, the cooling point can also be inserted by clicking continuously. Cooling points can
still be added after micro-connection, compensation and other processes.

To delete a cooling point, hold down Shift and click the cooling point to delete it.

Scanning

When the graphics to be cut are regular graphics (such as rectangles, full circles, polygons) and are
arranged in a certain regularity, by scanning cutting to connect line segments in the same direction for flying
cutting, it 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 idle movement.

Click the ‛ button under the common menu bar to enter the scan cutting parameter setting
interface.

The starting position is used to set the starting position of the scanning cutting; the minimum scanning
line length refers to the minimum line segment length actually cut after scanning. If the actual cutting line
segment length is less than the given "minimum scanning line length" after scanning, the scanning cutting
will not If any result is given, and it prompts “A curve that does not meet the scanning conditions is
detected”, it is recommended that the user increase the “Minimum Scan Line Length” parameter value.

Nesting

The nesting function is used to reasonably arrange the given parts on the board with the highest
utilization rate. CypCut supports one-key layout, and also provides a number of optimization parameters for
you to make fine adjustments, such as: part spacing, margin parameters, rotation angle, automatic coedge

and residual material management. Click the ‛ button in the common page or nesting page to achieve
this function.

To carry out nesting, please specify a certain size plate first. You can draw or import a graphic and

select it, select the ‚‛ button under the layout tab, and click the ‚Set the selected part as a sheet‛;Or
right-click the graph 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 "Nest" button. Similarly, the parts and quantity can
also be set in a similar way. The picture before layout is as follows:

Figure 85

Some parameters need to be set for automatic nesting. "Part spacing" refers to the distance between
parts and parts that is not less than the set size; the "sheet edge" parameter specifies the frame of the sheet
left by the part nesting; "rotation angle interval" refers to the rotation of the part during nesting For adjusting
the angle, if relative rotation between the part and the plate is not allowed, please select "No Rotation"; the
"Nesting Direction" refers to which direction you want the part to stick to the plate.

Figure 86

Nesting strategy‛ refers to the strategy used when the program calculates the nesting results. Automatic
nesting currently provides five strategies:

Search mode: Search for parts matching the shape according to the outline of the space to be arranged,
and the layout results are relatively close between the parts.

Stacking type: 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, which can
generate a larger rectangular residual material;

Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

Array type: arrays of fewer types of parts are arranged into the plate; especially the layout of a single
part is recommended to use this strategy;

Rectangular type: The parts are arranged in a rectangular type, and the same kind of parts form
rectangular blocks; the layout result is relatively neat in part and overall, which is suitable for the layout of
rectangular-like parts;

Sequential: Arrange the parts into the plate from large to small.

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

will automatically optimize the graphics after nesting, but it will also

consume more time. You can choose according to the actual situation; ‛ will

align the parts with skewed posture first and then nest. will automatically
distinguish parts with complementary shapes and couple them for nesting, which can improve the speed of

nesting and the neatness of parts; if you check ‛, you need to set the minimum
length of automatic coedge. When the length of the graph coedge line is greater than this value, the
automatic coedge will be executed. Note: This function cannot be used simultaneously with

‛. The graphics after nesting are as follows:

A) Parameter Description

The following table briefly describes some of the parameters in the layer.

① Basic Parameters

Set the target speed of actual cutting. Due to the acceleration and deceleration
Cutting speed at the beginning and end of the cutting track and at the turning point, the actual
cutting speed is usually less than this speed.

Set the lifting height of the laser head after cutting a curve. When the cutting is
Lift height paused, the Z axis will also be raised to a certain height, which is also the
raised height.

Fixed height cutting The cutting head is fixed at a certain height for cutting.

Selected this method, the starting point can be docked outside the board,
during actual cutting, the laser head will stay at the reference height when
cutting the plate, follow the cutting after detecting the board entry. Often used
Off-plate follow to cut plates.

"Reference height" is set by pointing the laser head to the appropriate height,
then “CNC" -- “BCS100” -- “Save Off-plate Follow Reference Height” to save
the parameters.

③ Perforation mode

Perforation and cutting use the same parameters and are often used for thin
Direct cutting
plate cutting.

Segmented（secondary） Perforation and cutting use different parameters, often used for thick plate
perforation cutting, you can choose whether to require progressive perforation

On the basis of segmented perforation, the method of perforation adopts

defocusing while perforating and slow decreasing, which is often used for thick
plate cutting. In progressive perforation, the perforation time can be set very

Figure 98

As shown in the figure above, the abscissa of the power/frequency graph is the cutting speed, the
ordinate is the cutting power/frequency, and the unit is a percentage. You can add the corresponding power
point at the corresponding speed and choose the smoothing method of the curve, you can also click

copy the power curve to the frequency curve. Through this table, it can be reflected
that when the actual movement to the corner speed drops to a few percent of the target speed, the actual
power/frequency needs to be reduced to a few percent of the cutting power/frequency. Note: Real-time
frequency adjustment is meaningful only when the real-time power 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%, when the actual cutting speed drops to 29mm/s, the laser power is:

laser power x peak current (percent) x cutting power (percent) x power regulation with speed (percent)
=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 it's not selected , the power will remain unchanged during the cutting
process. In the above example, the power during cutting is 500W x 90% x 80% = 360W

C) Perforation method

CypCut presets three perforations, direct cutting, segmented perforation and tertiary perforation, among
which segmented perforation, progressive perforation and tertiary perforation require the support of BCS100
adjusters to achieve. The specific process of the three perforations is controlled by a PLC process preset.
Direct cutting is often used in sheet cutting;Secondary perforation is also known as segmented perforation.
By setting different parameters of perforation and direct cutting to achieve the purpose of cutting thicker
plates, it is possible to choose whether to enable progressive perforation during segmented perforation,

which can make the perforation process more complete. In the tertiary perforation process, blast perforation
is performed first, followed by segmented perforation. It is also possible to choose whether to enable
progressive perforation during blast perforation to enhance the effect of blast perforation.

Often used for cutting thicker plates.

D) Pre-pierce

After selected , When processing this layer, it will first pierce at all positions that need to

be pierced. The perforation method is specified by in the layer.

Direct cutting is performed after the pre-pierce is complete note that the pre-pierce option can only be
selected after a secondary or tertiary pierce is selected.

E) Material library files

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

library for use next time. Click , enter the file name and save it in a material library. It is recommended
that the user set the file name based on the material characteristics, such as 2mm carbon steel.

Next time you need to use the material library file, click , then 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”gives up the operation.

5.4.5 Processing control

CypCut is a set of software integrating design and processing control. All the aforementioned graphics
and parameter preparation can be performed without the machine tool. After all the design is completed, the
file 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 related to the running state of the machine tool. The two coordinate systems correspond to the
following figure:

Figure 105

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 “Return Origin” at any time is consistent. After
the initial installation or when the machine coordinate system is deviated due to abnormal reasons, you can
pass Return Mechanical Origin reset mechanical coordinate system.

No matter what mechanical structure is used, CypCut definition of coordinate system is consistent. All
movements are 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 Y 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, in order to facilitate the use, the workpiece
coordinate system needs to be introduced. All the coordinate axis directions of the program coordinate
system in CypCut are completely consistent with the machine coordinate system. Only the coordinate
system zero point is different, which is called the program zero point. The 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. You can choose
“floating coordinate system”, 9 “workpiece coordinate systems” and one “external coordinate system”.

Floating coordinate system is generally used for informal processing. It can be considered that the laser
head will start processing wherever it moves. The zero point of the coordinate system is automatically set as
the laser head when the user clicks "Go Frame", "Dry Go" or "Processing" current position.

Figure 106

When the workpiece coordinate system 1~9 is selected, the zero point is manually set by the user
through the zero point of the current point. Once set, it will be permanently saved until the next time.
Therefore, the workpiece coordinate system is suitable for mass production, and its position is generally
determined by the fixed fixture. Using the workpiece coordinate system 1~9 can keep each processing in the
same position of the machine tool.

Click the bottom status bar , you can choose to display mechanical or
program coordinates, and you can also set the zero points of the two coordinate systems here. Selecting
“coordinate positioning” will position the cutting head to the specified coordinate position.

Figure 107

C) Find the zero point after an abnormality

Situation One

If only the laser or auxiliary gas are abnormal, the processing is forced to be interrupted, and the
coordinate system is not shifted. You can directly click “Return to Zero” to return to the zero point.

Situation two

If a sudden power failure, servo alarm, etc. will cause the machine coordinate system to be offset, it is
recommended that the user execute “Back to Machine Origin” to reset the machine coordinate system. Then
click “Return to Zero” to find the zero point.

Alarm system

CypCut will monitor all components during the operation of the machine tool. Once an alarm is
detected, it will be displayed in a red title bar immediately, and measures such as stopping the movement
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. The alarm example is as shown below:

Figure 108

In addition to the title bar, the “Alarm” window at the bottom left of the interface also displays alarm
information. After the alarm is eliminated, the red display in 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 system operation.

In addition to alarms, if CypCut detects other operating abnormalities, it will be displayed in the
"System" window in different colors according to the abnormal level, including warnings, reminders,
messages, etc. This information will not cause the machine to stop moving, but it is still recommended that
you pay attention to the various messages displayed by the system in time to take necessary measures as
soon as possible.

Some parameters need to be set for capacitor edge seeking. The edge-seeking speed has an impact on
the edge-seeking accuracy, the recommended setting is 200mm/s;The width of the steel plate is the length of
the steel plate in the X-axis direction of the machine tool; the length of the steel plate 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
finding result. A positive number means that the laser head is shifted into the plate, and a negative number
means that the laser The head is offset to the outside of the board; the lifting height is the lifting height of the
cutting head during edge seeking.

After the advanced parameters are unlocked, rack position determination can be set:

After checking "Avoid the influence of racks on edge seeking", you can set the rack spacing, rack
spacing, rack installation direction, and rack installation mode to avoid the influence of racks on edge
seeking. When this function is enabled, 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 rack installation position and the machine tool;

finding operation you want to perform under the edge finding test.

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

Note: Please return to the origin to correct the machine coordinate system before edge finding and
make sure that the cutting head can follow normally before edge finding. Steel plate tilt,the angle should not
exceed 10 degrees.

See the appendix for other settings and descriptions of capacitor edge seeking.

b Optical edge seeking

At present, this software must use the Omron E3Z-L61 model switch to use the optical edge finding
function.

Before edge finding for the first time, the deviation value of the photoelectric switch and the laser
center should be measured and set in the advanced parameters. Before the actual edge finding, be sure to
move the cutting head to the stop point (one of the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right) as the
starting position of edge finding.

Some parameters need to be set for optical edge seeking. Coarse positioning speed is the speed of edge
seeking coarse positioning, the recommended value is 100mm/s;

The fine positioning speed is the speed of edge finding fine positioning, which will affect the edge
finding accuracy. The recommended value is 10mm/s, and it is not recommended to exceed 30mm/s. The
smaller the fine positioning speed, the longer the edge finding time, the higher the positioning accuracy. The
size and edge correction value of the steel plate are similar to those of capacitor edge seeking.

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

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

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

PLC process

Click the button of "NC" tab, you can customize PLC process and execute them.

Note: Inappropriate modification may cause serious consequences! If necessary, please contact our
technical staff.

Back to origin

a.Return to mechanical origin

You can click the ``NC'' tab ‛Or select the drop-down option "all return to origin" to return the
laser head to the mechanical origin, reset the mechanical coordinate system, see the section "Coordinate

5.4.7 Co-edge nesting example

Let's take a customer's actual sample as an example to demonstrate co-edge nesting.

Before there is no coedge function, the drawingsdrawn manually by the customer through CAD

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

It can be seen from the picture that the original picture consists of 10 narrow parts under the 6 large
parts, and 9x2=18 narrow parts on the right side, which just occupies the space of a steel plate.

First draw the 3 parts in the original picture below. Generally, these three parts are from the customer's
DXF drawing. As shown below:

Figure 118

In the first step, first select all the graphics of each part and execute "Group" separately. After the group,
the outline of the part will be displayed in bold.

Display, group, co-edge, bridge

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

get the figure shown above

As shown in the figure above , starting from the upper left corner of part 2 and pulling a light blue
selection box to the lower right corner, all 18 parts 2 can be selected, but part 1 will not be selected.

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

Select part 2 that has been coedges, click the right mouse button, and then select Sort from right to left
from the pop-up menu. As shown below:

Figure 122

Attentive users may ask, why do you have to drag Part 2 to the boundary of Part 1 before co-edge? It is
very troublesome to choose. In fact, this order can be exchanged, the following

We first co-edge the part 3, and then drag it under the part 1. Select part 3, make an array of 10 rows
and 1 column, and get the following picture:

Figure 123

Select 10 parts 3, click "Co-edge", part 3 will be co-edged and become a whole. As shown below. Note
that the thickness of the lines is different. Before coedge, each part 3 has a bold outer frame. After coedge,
the whole part has a bold outer frame, and the line segments that have been coedged inside are shown by
thin lines.

When the mouse is hovering over Part 3, a corresponding prompt will be displayed, indicating that this
is a combination.

Figure 124

Similarly, it is necessary to perform bottom-to-top sorting of part 3 to avoid the steel plate shaking and
offset due to lack of support.

Select integral part 3 after coedge and drag it to the lower left of part 1, it will also be automatically
adsorbed to the lower boundary of part 1 and aligned to the left. As shown below:

Automatically adsorb to the work side and press the space to cancel

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

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

When dragging the graphics 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 temporarily disabled. It will
take effect again when dragging next time.

6. Maintenance, maintenance and troubleshooting

6.1 Maintenance and maintenance

See "Maintenance Manual" for details

6.2 Fault analysis and troubleshooting methods

6.2.1 Follow-up part of the problem

a) Alarm and abnormal analysis

1) Upper/lower limit is valid

This alarm is generated when the system detects that the upper limit or lower limit photoelectric switch
or contact sensor of the Z axis is valid. At this time, the following situations should be paid attention to:

Whether the limit signal line is properly connected.

Limit signal type parameter is set correctly, the limit signal can be set to normally open or normally
closed. Whether the upper/lower limit actually senses the object and outputs an effective level signal.

Whether the sensor is damaged, or has oil or dust.

2) Exceeding Z axis stroke

When the Z axis coordinate of the system is greater than the set stroke, this alarm will be generated. If a
false alarm occurs, you need to pay attention to whether the system is reset correctly, whether the stroke
parameters are correctly set, and whether the encoder's feedback is normal.

3) The upper limit is always effective

This alarm will be generated when the system returns to the origin, hits the negative limit, and then
walks back, but it has been unable to exit the negative limit area.

4) Servo alarm

When the ALM signal of No. 14 interface of the servo interface of the system detects 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 alarms, check the private server motor drive to see if there is an alarm, if so, power on
again.

5) The encoder moves abnormally

When the system is in a static state, it detects that the feedback value of the encoder has changed, and
this alarm will be generated. The reasons for this alarm include:

The external force causes the shaft to shake.

The line is in poor contact and the zero-speed clamp signal is invalid.

Email: info@leapion.com︱Tel:+086-0531-88982620 - 138 -

ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

The encoder cable is disturbed, confirm whether the machine is connected to the earth correctly.

6) The encoder does not respond

When the system sends out an analog signal and detects that there is no change in the encoder signal,
the alarm will be generated. The reasons for this alarm include:

The circuit is in poor contact, the analog signal is not sent to the servo, or the zero-speed clamp signal
is always effective, or the encoder's feedback signal is not correctly connected back to the height controller.

7) Excessive position deviation

This alarm will be generated when the system detects that the difference between the feedback position
and the target position is too large. The occurrence of this alarm generally indicates that the servo system
cannot normally follow the position loop command of the height controller. The reasons for this alarm
include:

The encoder direction is reversed. The position loop of the system does not form negative feedback.
The parameters need to be modified at this time.

Wiring, interference, etc. cause abnormal encoder feedback.

The Z-axis is mechanically stuck, the system torque increases instantly, but the position is not in place
in time.

8) The 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 surface.

Water in the cutting head.

The body capacitance of the cutting head is too large and exceeds the detection range.

The amplifier is damaged.

The connection of the amplifier/cutting head is poor.

Inside the cutting head, the positive (nozzle) and negative (chassis) of the induction capacitor are
short-circuited.

9) The body capacitance becomes smaller

This alarm will be generated when the system detects that the capacitance of the body becomes smaller
than a certain range. The reasons for the smaller system capacitance include:

Replacement of accessories, or connection, or random changes in the characteristics of analog

components may also cause this alarm. Re-calibrate at this time.

The laser is scattered on the nozzle, causing the nozzle temperature to rise sharply, resulting in
temperature drift.

Blowing causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and the negative electrode (cutting head
housing) to change.

ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

The connection cables and nozzles of the amplifier are in poor contact.If the calibration distance is set
too small (3D is less than 10mm, 2D is less than 15mm), it may also cause the body capacitance to become
smaller and alarm.

10) The body capacitance becomes larger

When the system starts to follow, because the capacitance of the body becomes larger, the follower
keeps going up, and this alarm will be generated. The reasons for this alarm include:

Replacement of accessories, or connection, or random changes in the characteristics of analog

components may also cause this alarm. Re-calibrate at this time.

The laser is scattered on the nozzle, causing the nozzle temperature to rise sharply, resulting in
temperature drift.

Blowing causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and the negative electrode (cutting head
housing) to change.

The connection cables and nozzles of the amplifier are in poor contact.

11) Abnormally large capacitance

This alarm will be generated when the system detects that the capacitance exceeds the maximum
capacitance at the calibration time or the set bumping capacitance. The reasons for this alarm include:

The floating head touches the board surface.

A small amount of water has entered the cutting head.

The laser is scattered on the nozzle, causing the nozzle temperature to rise sharply, resulting in
temperature drift.

Blowing causes the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and the negative electrode (cutting head
housing) to change.

12) The following error is too large

When the system is in the following state, the distance between the detection and the board surface
becomes abnormally large instantly, and this alarm will be generated. The reasons for this alarm include:

When cutting beyond the board surface, there is no object under the floating head to follow.

The board surface shakes greatly.

13) Use time is up

The use time of the system settings is up.

b) Analysis of common problems

1) Obvious jitter and mechanical shock during following movement.

Poor contact between amplifier housing or controller FG pin and machine housing

The machine case is the negative electrode of the capacitor under test. When the amplifier case and the
machine case have poor conductivity, the AC impedance between the positive and negative electrodes of the

ADD :3-301 NO.688 Chunhui Road High Tech District Jinan China
 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

capacitor is relatively large. In this way, the load of the measurement circuit will change, which will result in
a larger measurement error. If you can’t make a good mechanical connection, you can add an extra wire
between the amplifier and the machine's metal casing to reduce the AC impedance. However, the AC
impedance of this single-point connection is larger than that of a mechanically good connection. The
specific index should achieve DC impedance less than 10 ohms.

The speed of following movement is set too large

If the speed of the following movement is set too large, it will cause jitter during movement. It is
recommended to use the grade 3~7.

Poor float calibration

When the stability and smoothness of the capacitance and position data stored in the BCS100 is poor,
the following movement will appear jitter. At this time, please re-calibrate the floating head capacitance
until the stability and smoothness are excellent or good.

There is a lot of interference at the application site, so the "follow-up gain coefficient" parameter can be
appropriately reduced.

2) It often collides with the board surface when following movement.

The calibration range setting is too small or the Z axis speed setting is too large.

The smaller the calibration range is, the smaller the deceleration distance of the following motion is. At
this time, if the Z-axis speed is set too large and the Z-axis speed is still not reduced to 0 when the following
is in place, overshoot will occur. The greater the Z-axis speed when following in-position, the greater the
overshoot. When the Z axis speed is greater than 100mm/s, the recommended calibration range is 15mm.
When the Z-axis speed is greater than 250mm/s, the calibration range is recommended to be set to
20~25mm.

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 collision with the board. It is recommended that the rigidity setting is not lower than
level 13.

Capacitor calibration problem.

When the capacitance stored in the BCS100 differs greatly from the actual measured capacitance, the
following motion may collide with the board surface. For example, the temperature of the nozzle is
abnormally high, or the connection is not strong. At this point, find the cause of the problem first, and
re-calibrate the capacitor after solving the problem.

No warm up.

Please warm up for 2~5 minutes and wait for the sampling capacitor in the amplifier to stabilize before
operating the BCS100 controller.

The ceramic body lock nut is not tightened.

If the ceramic body lock nut is not tightened, the detection capacitance may be unstable.

3) The following height does not match the actual setting height.

 LEAPION MACHINERY CO.,LTD (SHANDONG)
Fiber laser cutter 丨 Laser engraver 丨 CNC Router

No warm up

Please warm up the preamplifier for 2~5 minutes before operating the BCS100 controller. The
sampling capacitor in the preamplifier will change with temperature. Please warm up for 2~5 minutes and
wait for the sampling capacitor in the amplifier to stabilize before operating the BCS100 controller.

Calibration problem

The above phenomenon often occurs without re-calibrating the floating head capacitance after
replacing the nozzle.

The laser is scattered on the nozzle, or the blowing is not normal, etc., which causes the nozzle
temperature to rise abnormally (above 100°C), which changes the body capacitance of the cutting head.

When the smart calibration did not touch the board, the actual following height was higher than the set
value.

Turn off the smart touch board option before calibrating.

4) The lifting height is abnormal

When cutting, it was found that the lifting height was getting lower and lower. At this time, you need to
pay attention to whether the machine is slipping or the mechanical connection is abnormal.

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

The upgrade file may be infected by a virus.

6) When the floating head is calibrated, it will be lifted up without touching the board

The setting of the touch panel capacitance is incorrect. When calibrating metal materials, be sure to set
the touch panel capacitance to 0 and modify the "Smart touch panel detection parameter" to ‘Off’.
