Clicking on graphics when they are not selected sets the default layer for the next drawing. The

16th
first white square represents a special layer, the "background layer", on which the graphics will be
displayed in white and will not be processed. The last two layers are the first and last processing
layers, respectively.
There are three scrolling ribbon text windows below the interface.The one on the left
is“ ， all relevant prompts or input information for drawing instructions are
displayed here; The middle window is“ ”，Other system messages other than the
drawing will be displayed here, with each message marked with a time and displayed in different
colors based on the importance of the message, including prompts, warnings, errors, etc.The
window on the right is ，all alarm information will be displayed here with a red
background and white text.
At the bottom of the interface is ，Display different prompt information according
to different operations. The left side of the status bar contains basic information about the drawn
machining graphics, while the right side of the status bar includes several commonly used
information, including the position of the mouse, machining status, and the position of the laser
head. The last fine-tuning distance parameter is used to quickly move the graphics using the
directional keys, and the model of the control card is displayed at the end.
The rectangular area on the right side of the interface is called“ ”，Most commonly
used operations related to control are carried out here. From top to bottom, there are coordinate
system selection, manual control, machining control, machining options, and machining counting.

6.3.3 Toolbar
The toolbar of CypCut uses a style called Ribbon, which divides commonly used functions into
sections and uses many large-sized buttons for easy operation. The following figure helps you
understand this new type of toolbar:

The entire toolbar is divided into 5 "pagination" and can be selected through 5 menus:
"Common", "Drawing", "Layout", "CNC", and "View". When selecting various menus, pagination
related to the selected content will appear; During processing, a "processing" page will appear
and cannot be switched to other pages before stopping.
The toolbar of each page is arranged in multiple "columns" according to functional classification,
such as "View", "Geometric Transformation", etc; The first button in a general column is usually
large-sized; Some columns have a small button in the bottom right corner, called the "expand
button". Pressing this button can open a related dialog box.
Please note that some large-sized buttons have a small triangle below them, called a "dropdown
button". Pressing this button will bring up a "dropdown menu" related to this button, providing
richer operation options. When the mouse moves over this type of button, two distinct
rectangles will be displayed. Pressing the top half of the button directly executes the

17th
corresponding function, while pressing the bottom half of the button opens a menu.
If you have previously used Office 2007, Windows 7, or other programs that use the Ribbon style,
you may already be very familiar with this arrangement. Even if it's your first time using it, it
doesn't matter. We believe you will soon fall in love with this style.

6.3.4 FILE
There is a special menu in the upper left corner of the toolbar called the "File Menu", which

contains some menu items related to files,click the“ ”button to open the menu, as
shown in the following figure:

Please note that the recently used files are listed on the right side of the menu, and the files
saved by CypCut come with an“ ” icon，This is to facilitate you in finding the file that was
already designed last time.
The "Save As" option in the menu allows you to choose to save the file in lxd or dxf format on the
right side.
The "Import" option in the menu can be used to import another file into the drawing board
without clearing the existing graphics. If you just want to open an external file, simply use
"Open".
CypCut V712.6 and above support opening the machining file formats nrp and nrp2 exported
from the CypNest layout software.
The "Report" in the menu can export processing reports, layout reports, and machine usage
reports.
The menu "User Parameters" is used to set some parameters related to usage habits; The menu
"Parameter Backup" allows users to backup all parameters into a compressed file; The menu
"BCS100 Monitoring Interface" is used to monitor and display the BCS100 height adjuster
interface in the software; The menu "Diagnosis Window" is used for software diagnosis and
monitoring.

6.4.2 pretreatment
At the same time as importing graphics, CypCut automatically removes extremely small graphics,
removes duplicate lines, merges connecting lines, automatically smooths, sorts, and breaks them.
Generally, you don't need any other processing to start setting process parameters. If the
automatic processing cannot meet your requirements, you can open the menu "File" - "User
Parameters" for configuration.
In general, software believes that the graphics to be processed should be closed graphics. If the
file you open contains non closed graphics, the software may prompt you and display it in red.
But this feature may be turned off, you need to view the unclosed graphics on the drawing board，

19th
You can click on the "Show" button in the frequently used menu

bar“ ”and“ ”button to highlight non enclosed graphics; You can also select all non
enclosed shapes by clicking the large button "Select" on the far left side of the toolbar,
and then clicking "Select Unclosed Shapes".
If in some cases, you need to manually split the graphics, please click on the "Optimize" button
under the frequently used menu bar“ ”button ， Then click the mouse at the
desired location for segmentation. To merge graphics, please select the graphics that
need to be merged，Then click on“ ”button.

6.4.3 Process settings

In this step, you may use most of the functions in the "Process Settings" column under the
commonly used menu bar, including setting up incoming and outgoing lines, setting
compensation, etc.
The large-sized button "lead" can be used to set the incoming and outgoing lines, and the button
"seal" uses preset values for cutting, cutting, or sealing parameters;
Button“compensate” used for cutting seam compensation；

Button“microconnections ” used to insert uncut small segments of microconnections in

graphics；
Button“reverse” can reverse individual graphics；

Button“Cooling point” used to set cooling points in the drawing.

Click the "Start Point" button, then click at the location where you want to set it as the starting
point of the drawing to change the starting point of the drawing. If you click outside the drawing
and then click on the drawing again, you can manually acknowledge an incoming line.
As a quick start tutorial, you can press Ctrl+A to select all graphics, then click the "Leader" button,
set the parameters of the leader, and then click OK. The software will automatically find the
appropriate location to add the lead in and out wires based on your settings. Click on the small

specify the order between these two images.
Select several shapes that have already been arranged in order, and then click on the group under

the common or layout menu bar“ ”button then their order can be fixed，afterwards, both
automatic and manual sorting will no longer affect the graphics within the "group", and the
"group" will always be treated as a whole.
Select a "group" and right-click to select "sort within the group". You can also automatically sort
the graphics within the group.

6.4.5 Pre processing inspection

Before actual cutting, the machining trajectory can be checked.Click on each button to align
the graphics accordingly ,Drag the (under the drawing menu
bar) as shown in the following figure to quickly view the graphic processing order ， Click
，to view the graphic processing order one by one.

Click the "Simulation" button on the "Console" to simulate machining. The "Simulation Speed"
function on the "CNC" page can be used to adjust the simulation machining speed.

6.4.6 Actual processing

Please note that this step must be performed on the actual machine tool and must be supported
by encryption dogs and control cards.
Before formal processing, it is necessary to match the graphics on the screen with the machine
tool. Click the "Preview" button on the left side of the directional key on the "Console" to see the
relative position relationship between the graphics to be processed and the machine tool width
on the screen. This correspondence is calculated by matching the stop point markings on the
screen with the position of the laser head on the machine tool. The following image shows
several common coordinate markers on the screen. When you click "Preview", the "Dock Point"
will shift to the "Laser Head Position", visually causing an overall shift.

21st
If the "laser head position" indicated by the red cross cursor does not match the actual laser head
position on the machine tool, please check if the machine tool origin position is correct.
Correction can be made through "CNC" ->"Return to Origin". If the preview shows that all or part
of the graphics are outside the machine's layout, it indicates that the machining may exceed the
stroke range.

Click under the frequently used menu bar“ ”button，The relative relationship between

graphics and docking points can be changed. For example, if the laser head is located in the
bottom left corner of the workpiece to be processed, set the docking point to the bottom left
corner, and so on.

After checking on the screen for accuracy，Click on "Borders" on the "Console" button，
The software will control the cutting head to walk around the outermost frame of the shape to be
processed, allowing you to check if the machining position is correct. You can also click the
"empty walk" button to run along the shape to be processed in full without turning on the laser,
in order to more thoroughly check for any possible errors.

Finally, click "Start" button start formal processing ， Click "Pause" button
processing can be paused. During the pause process, you can manually control the lifting of the
laser head, manually switch on and off the laser, gas, etc; During the pause process, you can trace
along the machining trajectory using the "Fallback" and "Forward" buttons; Click the "Continue"
button to continue machining.
Click the "Stop" button to stop processing, and according to your settings, the laser head can
automatically return to the corresponding point. As long as you have not changed the shape of
the shape or started a new round of processing, click the "breakpoint positioning" button, and
the software will allow you to locate the last stop. Click the "breakpoint continue" button to
continue processing at the last stop.

6.5 Graphic operation

6.5.1 Graphic display effect
The first "View" column under the commonly used menu bar provides multiple buttons to help
control the display effect, as shown in the following figure：

Click the button in the above figure, and the display effect will take effect immediately. You can
see the changes in the display effect in the drawing board. Please pay attention to the display
changes of the button itself. When the light yellow background color is turned on, it indicates
that the corresponding effect has been turned on. If there is no light yellow background color, it
indicates that the corresponding display effect has not been turned on. For example,Open

state“ ”， Display graphic processing paths with arrows on the drawing board， Closed

state“ ”，The arrow on the graph disappears.

After turning on "Display Micro Link Marks", you can clearly see the position of the micro link on
the graph (marked by a white rectangle), as shown in the following figure:

Click when selecting a shape“ ”button ， The selected graphic will be displayed in the
center of the format. If no graphic is selected and clicked directly, the overall graphic will be
displayed in the center of the format.
Click on the "" in the bottom right corner of the "View" column to open a dialog box for more
detailed control of the drawing board, including

Scrolling the mouse wheel on the drawing board can zoom in and out of the view. Press F3 to
center all graphics on the screen, and press F4 to center the machine tool layout range on the

23rd
screen. Right click on the drawing board ->Zoom to select the above operations.

6.5.2 Select Shape

CypCut provides a variety of graphic selection options. The most basic operation is "click and
select", which can be selected by clicking the mouse on the shape. Another more common
operation is "box selection", which involves dragging the mouse to form a semi transparent
selection box on the screen to select graphics. "Box selection" is divided into two types. When
dragging the mouse from left to right, a solid line box with a blue semi transparent rectangle is
displayed. Only shapes that are completely covered within the rectangular box will be selected;
When dragging the mouse from right to left, a dashed box with a blue semi transparent rectangle
is displayed. As long as any part of the shape is inside the rectangular box, the shape will be
selected.
The schematic diagram of these two options is as follows. The left image shows selecting from
left to right, BC will be selected, and the right image shows selecting from right to left, both ABCD
will be selected. Flexibly using these two methods can make it more convenient to select the
graphics you need.
Regardless of whether it is "click select" or "box select", if you press the Shift key while selecting,
you can add or deselect graphics without clearing the original selection.
Click the "Select" button, a dropdown menu will appear, which allows for advanced selection
operations, including:
 Basic operations: Select All (Ctrl+A), Invert Selection, Copy (ctrl+c), Paste (ctrl+v), Cut
(ctrl+x), Deselect (can be achieved by clicking on a blank area), Copy with Base Point
(select a point, the relationship between the shape and the mouse position and the
relationship between the base point and the original shape are the same when pasting)
 Graphic operation: Select non enclosed graphics, select similar graphics, select all external
or internal molds, select all graphics smaller than the specified size (the specified size
needs to be entered in the drawing information column below the software)
 Layer operation: Select a layer (used to select all shapes within a layer) and lock the
background.
 After selecting "Prohibit quick dragging and copying", users will no longer be allowed to
drag, copy, or rotate graphics, in order to avoid misaligning previously arranged graphics
due to misoperation.

“ ”allows you to select all shapes that appear similar on the drawing board.
For example, first select a 5mm circle, and then click "Select Similar Shapes" to select all 5mm
circles;

6.5.3 Transform
The "Geometric Transformation" section under the commonly used menu bar provides rich
geometric transformation functions. Before use, select the shape that needs to be transformed.
Most commonly used transformations can be completed by simply clicking the "Geometric
Transformation" dropdown triangle, such as mirroring, rotating, aligning, scaling, etc.

6.5.4 Size modification

24th
Cypcut provides 7 quick size transformations, which can be completed through the "Size" button
dropdown menu. Clicking on the small triangle of the "Size" button opens a dropdown menu that
provides the ability to make certain size changes to the selected shape. As shown in the following
figure:
For example, "100mm" scales the shape to a width of 100mm, and "2x" scales the shape equally
by 2x.
If you want to enter an accurate size, please click the "Size" button directly. The following dialog
box will appear. Enter a new size and click "OK" to complete the size transformation.

When the lock status in the interface is ，The length and width are locked according to the
original image size ratio. If you want to input the length and width separately ，
Click“ ”button can unlock status，The button changes to“ ”state.
"Zoom Center" can specify the positional relationship between the new shape and the original
shape after scaling. For example, selecting "Top Left" means that the new shape is aligned with
the original shape in the top left corner after transformation, and other parts are scaled based on
the top left corner.
Ple as e note : The introduction of lead out lines and slot compensation set for the graphics will
not be changed simultaneously. After modifying the size, the values of introduction lead out lines
and slot compensation will still remain unchanged.

6.5.5 Interactive geometric transformation

CypCut provides three interactive geometric transformations, including interactive scaling,
arbitrary angle rotation, and arbitrary angle mirroring, which enable more detailed geometric
transformations. Before performing these operations, first select the graphic you want to operate
on, then click on the corresponding menu or button, and then follow the prompts at the bottom
of the screen to perform the operation.
For example, if a rectangle is rotated 45 ° based on its bottom left corner, the following steps
can be followe:
1) First, select the rectangle you want to operate on.
2) Then click on the small triangle under "Geometric Transformation" to open the dropdown

25th
menu, select "Rotate at any angle", and the bottom of the screen will prompt "Please specify the
base point:".
3) Move the mouse to the bottom left corner of the rectangle, and the mouse will automatically
stick to the bottom left corner, as shown in the following figure:

4) Click the mouse and a prompt will appear at the bottom of the screen, "Please specify the
starting point or angle of rotation:"
5) At this point, simply enter 45 and press enter to complete the operation.
If you do not know the rotation angle beforehand and want to rotate the rectangle to align with
another shape, then the first 4 steps are the same as above, and starting from step 5, follow the
following steps:
6) Move the mouse to the bottom right corner of the rectangle, click the mouse, and a horizontal
line will be formed as the starting line for rotation.
7) The screen prompts "Please specify the rotation destination point". At this time, when moving
the mouse, the shape will follow the mouse rotation. Click the mouse at the desired rotation
destination position to complete the operation. As shown in the following figure:

The operation of interactive scaling and arbitrary angle mirroring is similar to this, and will not be
repeated here.

6.5.6 Quick Pan and Copy

CypCut the software allows you to quickly pan graphics using directional keys. To use this
function, you need to first click the "Fine Adjust" button in the bottom right corner of the

software interface to light up， Change from state to

state，Only in the illuminated state can the right numeric box be edited. After

turning on the "Fine tune" button, select the graphic and press any direction key. The graphic will

26th
shift by a distance in the corresponding direction. The distance parameter is entered in the
number box on the right side of the "Fine tune" button. This feature can help you temporarily
and quickly move away from a certain shape, then focus on the design of other shapes, and then
quickly move back to the original position. Due to the precise control of fine tuned distance
parameters, you don't have to worry about deviation in the shape's position. Pressing the arrow
keys while pressing the Ctrl key will copy the selected shape. For example, pressing "Ctrl+Right"
will copy a selected shape 100mm to the right.
6.6 Coordinate and parameter input
In some cases, we hope to draw with precise coordinates. CypCut allows you to directly input
coordinates in the format of<X coordinate><comma,><Y coordinate>. For example, when
entering coordinates (100, 100), simply enter "100100". The coordinates and parameters entered
are displayed in blue.

Most drawing operations allow for both mouse operation and direct input of coordinates. Below
is a demonstration of drawing a rounded rectangle with a length of 300mm, a width of 200mm,
and a rounded corner of 50mm.

1) Click on the left toolbar“ ” icon，Screen prompt "Please specify starting point"

2) Enter the coordinates "0,0" and press enter. The screen displays "Please specify diagonal
points"
3) Enter the coordinates "300200" and press enter. The screen displays "Please specify the
fillet radius or [chamfer (F)]"
4) Enter 50 Enter. All operations completed. As shown in the following figure.

6.7 Automatic adsorption of x

During the drawing process, CypCut will provide automatic adsorption function as needed,
including automatic adsorption to the grid, adsorption to key points of the shape, adsorption to
the boundary of the shape, etc.
You can turn off the automatic adsorption function by clicking on the "File" menu, selecting "User
Parameters", selecting the "Drawing Board" tab in the open dialog box, and canceling the "Key
point automatic adsorption" option. The accuracy of automatic adsorption is also set in the
above dialog box.
6.8 Graphic rendering
Cypcut provides the drawing function for graphics. In the middle section of the left toolbar, from
top to bottom, it includes: isolated points, lines, polylines, circles, arcs, rectangles, polygons, text,
and standard parts. This section is also available in the drawing module of the upper menu bar.
Excluding the last two, the first seven functions are for standard graphic drawing, similar to the

27th
functions of CAD.
6.8.1 Standard graphic drawing
The operation of isolated points, lines, polylines, circles, and rectangles is simple and clear, and
will not be elaborated here. It is worth mentioning that there are two functions in the drop-down
menu of "Circle" in the "Drawing" column:
.The former can turn smaller circles into isolated points, while the
latter can convert shapes similar to circles into circles for subsequent flying cutting.
Polygon function: Click on the triangle below to divide it into rounded rectangles, polygons, and
stars. A rounded rectangle needs to be drawn first, and then the rounded radius can be
determined by moving the cursor, or entered directly in the drawing information bar; Both
polygons and stars need to specify the number of sides (3 to 100) first. Polygons are regular
polygons and can be rotated; The number of sides of a star is the number of vertices of the star,
and 6 sides are hexagonal stars. In addition, in the drawing module, there is an additional
"Runway Shape" function in the drop-down menu of "Rectangle". Similar to the drawing method
of rectangles, adding semicircles on the left and right sides of the rectangle generates a runway
shape.
6.8.2 Text Input
Cryptocut supports inputting text and converting text to curves. Click the "Word" button on the
left drawing toolbar, mark the position where you want to insert text, and click the mouse to
insert the text. The newly inserted text is automatically selected.
At any time when text is selected, a new pagination "Text" will appear in the toolbar, which can
be adjusted to modify the content, style, size, etc. of the text. As shown in the following figure:

Please note that once the text is converted into a curve, the above options are no longer
available for use. If you want to create text with specific fonts and effects, please design it first
and then convert it into curves.
6.8.3 Standard parts
Cypcut provides the drawing of standard parts.Click on the drawing toolbar on the left side of the

computer“ ”button，You can draw commonly used parts.After selecting the parts, relevant

6.10.2 Curve segmentation
Curve segmentation is the process of breaking a closed shape into two separate

shapes that users can edit separately. Click“ ”button ， Click the mouse at the

location that needs to be split.The curve segmentation process can continue until ESC cancels the
command or switches to another command.

6.10.3 Remove small shapes

Sometimes imported graphics may contain visually imperceptible graphics, resulting in small
display sizes or moving to an abnormal position during processing. You can use the "Remove
Small Shapes" function to delete such graphics, click the "Remove Small Shapes" button on the
toolbar, set the size range of the graphics, and then confirm. Shapes smaller than this size will be
deleted, while other shapes will be retained.

6.10.4 Remove duplicate lines

This function is used to remove visually overlapping shapes to only leave one. Clicking "Remove
duplicate lines" will search and clean up multiple shapes.

6.10.5 Merge connecting lines

Graphics drawn using AutoCAD often contain visually connected but not actually connected
graphics, which can be merged by merging connecting lines. Select the shapes to merge， Then
click on“ ”，Enter the merge precision and confirm.

Please note that the visual end point of the shape may not necessarily be the geometric end
point, and there may be excess lines returning from the original path at the end point. These
shapes need to be split first through "curve segmentation", deleting excess shapes, and then

30th
merging.

6.10.6 cut up
For "internal mold" graphics, the shredding function can be used to generate shredding lines to
prevent waste materials from warping and affecting processing. The shredded line is displayed in
white to distinguish normal cutting patterns.

6.10.7 Cutting (Splitting Drawing)

For a drawing, in order to adapt to the machine tool, it can be divided into several parts for
cutting. The divided drawings need to be saved separately and displayed with a red border.

6.11 view
The view module can adjust the scaling, display position, and sorting of graphics, as well as edit
graphics. The functional entrance is located above the left toolbar, from top to bottom, it includes
selection, node editing, manual sorting, pan view, and zoom.

Chapter 7 Cypcut process settings and tools

This chapter introduces the process settings related functions provided by CypCut. As most of the
process parameters are directly related to the material being cut, the laser used, gas pressure,
etc., please set them according to the actual process requirements. All parameters mentioned
here, including those in the image, are for example only and should not be considered as guiding
parameters.
Warning！Inappropriate or incorrect parameters may lead to reduced cutting efficiency or even
damage to the machine tool，Please set with caution。

7.1 Introduction of outgoing lines

7.1.1 Distinguishing between internal and external molds and positive/negative cutting
When opening external files such as DXF, CypCut automatically distinguishes between internal
and external models. If changes are made to the graphics during the editing process, resulting in
a change in the relationship between the inner and outer molds, and it is necessary to distinguish
the inner and outer molds again, please click the "Sort" button. Any sorting method can
distinguish the inner and outer molds (you need to check "Distinguish inner and outer molds
during sorting", which is located in the drop-down menu of the sorting button and is checked by
default), or simply click the "Leader" button to pull down the triangle and select "Distinguish
inner and outer molds".
CypCut distinguishes between inner and outer modes based on the enclosing relationship, always
treating the outermost layer as the outer mode, the next layer of the outer mode as the inner
mode, the next layer of the inner mode as the outer mode, and so on. Unclosed shapes cannot
form one layer. If you want to start as a yang cut from a certain layer, you can choose to start
from this layer and all the shapes inside it, group them, and then distinguish the inner and outer
molds through "sorting within the group".
When adding leads, the outer mold is male cut, introduced from the outside, and the inner mold
is female cut, introduced from the inside. To manually set the yin cut and yang cut, please select

the shape you want to set ， Then click on the frequently used menu bar“

”button。

32nd
7.1.2 Automatic introduction of outgoing lines

Select the graphic that needs to be set for the incoming and outgoing lines, and then click on the

icon under the frequently used menu bar“ ”icon ， Set the parameters for introducing
outgoing lines in the pop-up window, as shown in the following figure:

The supported leader types include arc and line, as well as line plus arc. The supported
parameters include leader type, angle, length, and radius. You can also choose whether to add a
small circular hole at the starting point of the lead in line.
When selecting the arc introduction, regardless of the set angle, the end of the arc will remain
tangent to the shape to be cut, as shown in the figure on the right. The angle set at this point is
actually the angle between the line connecting the starting and ending points of the lead and the
shape to be cut. The lead out line is similar to this.

Please note that automatically selecting the appropriate lead in position will determine the lead
in position for the shape based on pre-set priority vertices or priority long edges. Therefore,

33rd
parameters such as the lead in position and type before the shape will be overwritten. If you have
a fixed requirement for the position of the lead, you can choose to set a unified position
according to the total length of the graph or not change the lead position, only change the type
option.

7.1.3 Manual setting of entry lines

Delete Selected“ ”button，Entry lines can be manually modified. Clicking on the graph

indicates modifying the position of the incoming line, but the angle and length cannot be
modified.

First click outside the shape (point A, yellow point), and then click on the shape (point B, red
point) to draw a straight line from outside the shape to the shape.

7.1.4 Check the incoming and outgoing lines

Click on the small triangle under the "Leader" button, and then select "Check incoming and
outgoing lines" to perform a validity check on the already set incoming and outgoing lines. This
function will shorten the length of the leader line that is too long, thereby avoiding crossing with
other graphics. Click "Distinguish between inner and outer molds" to determine the specific
position of the lead based on the set inner and outer molds

7.15 Overcutting, leaving gaps, sealing, and multiple turns

There are four buttons to choose from in the "Process Settings" section of the

commonly used menu bar “ ”Used sequentially to set sealing, notches, over cutting,
and multiple turns. Select the shape you want to set, and then click the corresponding button.
The setting of the "gap/over cut" size is only effective when setting the gap/over cut later, and
the previously set gap/over cut size remains unchanged.

7.2 Cutting seam compensation

Select the shape you want to compensate for, and then click on the toolbar“ ”Button for

34th
seam compensation.
The cutting seam width should be measured based on the actual cutting results, and the
compensated trajectory should be represented in white on the drawing board. During processing,
the compensated trajectory will be run; The compensated original image will not be processed
and will only be displayed on the drawing board for ease of operation.
The direction of seam compensation can be manually selected, or automatically determined
based on positive and negative cutting, with internal mold shrinking and external mold
expanding.
When compensating for cutting seams, you can choose to transition the corners with rounded
corners or right angles, as shown in the following figure:

The green color in the figure represents the original image, the white color represents the
compensated trajectory, and the light yellow color represents the perpendicular line drawn from
the corner of the original image. From the figure, it can be seen that after compensation on both
sides of the vertical line, it can ensure that the cutting edge coincides with the original image, but
a transition is required at the corners. Usually, rounded corner transition can ensure that the cut
edge still coincides with the original image during the transition process and runs smoother.
For the convenience of selection, the commonly used compensation values can be edited under
the commonly used configuration.
To cancel compensation, select the graphic that needs to be cancelled, then click the "Clear"
button, select "Cancel Compensation" or directly select the "Cancel Compensation" button under
the slot compensation.。

7.3 Micro connection

"Micro connection" is used to insert a non cutting micro connection into the trajectory, which can
prevent the part from warping after cutting is completed. When cutting to this point, the laser
will be turned off, and whether to turn off the gas and follow will be determined by the relevant
parameters of the short distance movement during cutting. The micro connection is displayed as
a gap in the drawing board, as shown in the following figure:

Delete Selected “ ”button，Then click on the graphic where you want to add a
micro connection. You can click continuously to insert multiple micro connections until you press

35th
ESC to cancel or switch to another command. You can not only click on the graph, but also on the
compensated trajectory to insert micro links.
Please enter the length setting of the micro connection directly in the drawing window below the
software. The new parameters will take effect on the operation after setting.
In addition to manually adding micro connections, CypCut also provides automatic micro
connection functionality. Click the "Micro Connect" button below the small triangle to the

right“ ”button ， Set parameters in the pop-up dialog box and then

confirm. You can choose to add 10 micro connections per shape based on quantity, or
insert one micro connection every 100mm based on distance.
Weilian may divide the graphics into several segments. If you want to make individual
modifications to the separated parts, you can click the "Explode Weilian" button in the dropdown
menu of the "Weilian" button. The unclosed graphics after Weilian processing will be treated as
separate entities for modification. If you want to add a lead in the micro connection section, you
need to first "explode the micro connection" and then add the lead.
To delete a WeChat connection, select the graphic you want to delete, then click the "Clear"
button and select "Clear WeChat Connection".
CypCutV731 has started to increase the use of flying cutting to cut micro segments. When moving
to the starting point of the micro segment, the light is turned off, and when not turning on, it
moves to the end of the micro segment before turning on. There is no acceleration or
deceleration process in the middle, and the Z-axis does not lift up, improving the overall
efficiency of micro segment cutting.

7.4 Cooling point

Click unde r the frequently used menu bar “ ”button ， Click on the
corresponding position in the graph to set a cooling point at that location. After the cutting
reaches the cooling point, the laser will be turned off, and the blowing will be delayed according
to the relevant settings of the cooling point in the global parameters. Then, the laser will be
turned on for normal cutting. The cooling point is displayed as a solid white dot on the drawing
board, as shown in the following figure:

Like micro connections, cooling points can also be continuously clicked to insert multiple. Cooling
points can still be added after micro connection, compensation, and other processes.
In addition to manually adding cooling points, CypCut also provides automatic cooling point
functionality. Click on the small triangle on the right side of the "Cooling Point" button, select the
"Automatic Cooling Point" button, set parameters in the pop-up dialog box, and then confirm.
There are introduction points and sharp corners that can automatically add cooling points. The
cooling point added at the end of the lead will become a part of the lead, rather than a separate
cooling point, and will move, delete, and clear with the change of the starting point position. The
"Clear Cooling Point" function is invalid for it.

36th
To delete a cooling point, hold down Shift and click on it to delete it. If you want to delete all
cooling points, you can click on the small triangle on the right side of the "Cooling Points" button
and select "Clear Cooling Points" to delete all the cooling points that have already been set.
Cooling points are often used in corner processes, with a slight pause at the corner to turn off the
light and blow air for cooling to prevent corner burning.

7.5 circumcise

After selecting the graphic, click on the toolbar “ ”button，Can achieve better

sharp corner cutting effect.

7.6 Chamfer/Release Corner

Delete Selected“ ”button，Sharp corners can be converted into rounded corners.

Click on the toolbar “ ”button，It can generate a release angle, which helps with the
next bending process.

7.7 group
The "group" in CypCut refers to the combination of multiple shapes, or even multiple "groups", to
form a "group". The entire "group" will be viewed as a whole, and the order within the "group",
the positional relationships between shapes, and layers will be fixed. Its internal structure will not

37th
be affected during sorting, dragging, and other operations.

Select the shapes that need to be grouped, and then click“ ”button can combine
the selected graphics into a group.If you need to break up the group, please select the group
graphic, and the original "group" button will change to“ ”button.To break up all groups on the
drawing board, click on the small triangle below "Groups" and select "Break up all groups".
"Breaking up" does not break up any curves, it can only break up the parts that have already
been grouped. And "exploding the shape" will explode the shape into line segments one by one.
The "multi contour co cutting group" will connect the contours of the parts, reducing the number
of perforations. After connecting the groups, press "Explode Multiple Contour Co cutting Groups"
to break them up.
If there is a shape in a group that can contain all other shapes, it is called an outer contour. A
"group" with an outer contour can be considered a "part".
Although the CypCut software allows for grouping any graphics and operating them as a whole, it
is still recommended that users use the group function logically and try to group only graphics
that meet the logical conditions of the "parts". In the future, we may use the terms "group" and
"part" indiscriminately.
Please note that the CypCut software always groups "common edge" shapes to ensure their
integrity. In addition, bridging a "group" with other graphics or "groups" must result in a "group",
also to ensure the integrity of the graphics.

7.7.1 Sorting of groups

The parts are sorted as a whole, with the outer contour or the first shape as the basis for
participating in sorting. The order of the internal shapes of the parts will not change during
sorting.
If you need to sort the internal graphics of a group without breaking it up, you can select the
group, right-click, and then select "Sort Within Group".
The "sorting within a group" operation does not change the order of the graphics in the
subgroups within the group. The order of "intra group sorting" is only related to the geometric
characteristics of the shape, and is not related to the layer it belongs to. The sorting process
automatically distinguishes the inner and outer models based on the geometric inclusion
relationship.

7.7.2 Processing of groups

The group (part) is processed as a whole, continuously completed, and no other graphics are
inserted during the processing. Even if the group (part) contains multiple layers of graphics, they
are still processed continuously. Group pre perforation also follows this pattern.
Please note that regardless of the order of the internal graphics of the part, the outer contour of
the part is always the last machined. Please sort it before machining.

7.8 Flying cutting

When the shape to be cut is a regular shape (such as a rectangle, a whole circle, or a polygon)
and arranged in a certain regularity, scanning and cutting can connect line segments in the same

38th
direction for flying cutting, which will greatly improve cutting speed and save cutting time.

Click under the frequently used menu bar “ ”button (Note: When the composition

graphics of the rule array are all circles, this button has the function of circular arc flying cutting)
or the "Linear Flying Cutting" option in the drop-down menu to enter the parameter setting
interface for linear flying cutting.
The starting position is used to set the starting position for scanning and cutting; The maximum
distance of smooth connection refers to the turning distance that is less than this set value and
can be connected smoothly; The maximum flying line length refers to the maximum distance that
can be separated between graphics. If the distance between the processed graphics is greater
than the set value, flying cutting cannot be set.

When the composition graphics of the rule array are all circles, click the "Flying Cut" button
directly to activate the arc flying cutting function, or click the "Arc Flying Cut" option in the
dropdown menu of the "Flying Cut" button to enter the arc flying cutting parameter setting
interface.
The maximum distance between two circles in flight connection refers to the maximum distance
that can be separated between two circles. If the distance between circles in the machining
drawing is greater than the set value, flight cutting cannot be set.
"Sort first and then fly cut" can sort the arcs as a whole before flying cutting. If "Fly cut by part" is

39th
also checked, the internal flying of each part will be cut according to the sorting rules before
cutting according to the part.

If only "sort first and then fly cut" is checked, the selected graphics will be sorted as a whole and
then fly cut.
The flying over cutting distance can be set in the global parameters to facilitate better
detachment of parts.

7.9 Edge-shared
Merging workpieces with the same boundary and sharing one boundary can significantly save
processing length and improve efficiency. In Cryptocut, when the boundary distance between
two shapes is less than 0.1mm, they can be aligned, and Cryptocut provides automatic
adsorption function to drag two shapes together for alignment.
Select two or more shapes that need to have a common edge, and then click the "Common Edge"
button on the toolbar. Cryptocut will know that the selected shape has a common edge. If the
selected shape does not meet the common edge condition, the "Drawing" window at the bottom
left of the interface will display a prompt message.
At present, Cypcut only supports co edges on the four sides of the shape, and cannot co edges on
the straight lines in the concave areas inside the shape.
After sharing the same edge, the shapes from Jiangbei that participate in the same edge are
combined into a "group". If other shapes, such as small holes, are included within the shapes that
participate in the common edge, please first combine the shapes and all internal shapes into one
group before sharing the edges. Otherwise, the relationship between the internal shapes and the
group after sharing the edges will become meaningless, and the processing order and internal
and external model relationships will also be difficult to determine.

7.9.1 Common edge automatic adsorption

When dragging a shape in Cryptocut, if it moves to a position where it may share edges,
Cryptocut will automatically absorb it and display corresponding prompt information. You can
easily drag two shapes that need to be aligned together, and when the two shapes are close, the
automatic adsorption function will help you quickly locate them. Even when selecting multiple
shapes to drag together, it can quickly locate them uniformly.

40th
Once two shapes are placed together with the same boundary, simply select them and press the
"Common Edge" button to complete the common edge. If you want to separate and continue
editing parts that are already in common, or set their order, please select the parts and click
"Break" under the common menu bar. After editing, you can merge them again using the "Group"
button.

7.9.2 Co edge with compensation

If you want to retain the seam compensation after the common edge, please perform
compensation on the shapes that require common edges first, and then perform common edges.
In any case, "co edge" maintains the machining trajectory unchanged. If the shape being co edge
includes compensation, then after "co edge", the compensated trajectory will be retained and
the original image will disappear, as shown in the following figure.

In fact, in the above figure, the original image A cannot share the same edge as image B, only the
compensated trajectory P and image B can share the same edge. Even if Figure B is moved
adjacent to Figure A, it still cannot share edges because Figure A is not the trajectory to be
processed.

7.10 bridging
When a workpiece is composed of multiple parts but does not want to scatter after cutting, they
can be connected by "bridging". Meanwhile, this feature can also reduce the number of
perforations. By using the "bridging" function multiple times, it is possible to achieve a "one
stroke" effect on all graphics.
To bridge two shapes, click the "Bridge" button and draw a straight line on the screen. All shapes
that intersect with the line will be "bridged" pairwise. As shown in the following figure：

Bridging requires specifying two parameters. The first parameter specifies the maximum distance
between adjacent curves for quality inspection. Bridging is only performed when the distance
between two shapes is less than the specified value. The second parameter specifies the width of
the bridging.

41st
Please note that after bridging, the shape will become a whole. Before all the "one stroke"
cutting is completed, any part may not have been cut completely. Special attention should be
paid to the thermal impact changes caused by this.

7.11 array
The "Array" command can be used to quickly and accurately copy an object, and Cryptocut
provides four array methods.

7.11.1 Rectangular array

Click the "Array" button or select "Rectangular Array" from the "Array" drop-down menu, and the
parameter interface will appear as shown in the following figure.

By setting the number of rows, columns, offset, and direction, you can quickly copy the selected
graphic image, as shown in the following figure:

7.11.2 Interactive array

Click "Interactive Array" to set the row spacing and column spacing, and then drag the mouse to
delineate the area to quickly copy the selected graphics into the array. As shown in the following
figure:

7.11.4 Dissatisfied layout

Full layout is mainly used for cutting the entire board of a single shape. Click "Full Layout",
and the software will quickly fill the layout according to the given parts, parameters, and boards.
Please refer to the "Layout" section for the settings of the board. The full layout effect is shown in
the following figure:

43rd
7.12 Batch Modify
For process modifications of similar graphics, the "batch modification" function can be used to
improve drawing efficiency. For example, in the following figure, after selecting the graphics,
enter the batch modification interface, set the leader line, and both graphics will take effect
simultaneously.

44th
7.13 process parameters
CypCut provides 16 layers, each of which can be individually set with process parameters such as

45th
cutting speed, laser power, air pressure, nozzle height, etc. Among them, the last two layers are
the first and last processed layers, respectively.
Click the "Process" button under the commonly used menu bar to open the "Layer Parameter
Settings" dialog box, which contains almost all the process parameters required for processing.
The first page of the dialog box is "Global Parameters", which is used to control parameters
outside the layer, including motion control parameters, default parameters for laser and gas, and
following control parameters. The other pages of the dialog box list all the layers currently used.
Clicking on each layer allows you to individually set the process used for that layer.

Please note that the content in the "Layer Parameter Settings" dialog box may display different
options due to different lasers used, gas pipeline configurations, and height adjusters used. The
above figure is for reference only, please refer to the actual display in your software.

7.13.1 Parameter Description

The following table provides a brief explanation of some parameters in the layer.
1 Basic parameters
Set the target speed for actual cutting. Due to the presence of
acceleration and deceleration at the beginning and end of the cutting
Cutting speed
trajectory, as well as at corners, the actual cutting speed is often lower
than this speed.
Set the height at which the laser head is lifted after cutting a curve.
Lifting height When cutting is paused, the Z-axis will also be raised to a certain
height, which is also the raised height.
2 Processing method

Set the peak power of the fiber laser. The peak power determines the
maximum cutting power that the machine can achieve. For a 3000W
peak power
cutting machine, if the peak current is set to 80%, the peak power that
can be achieved during cutting is 3000W * 80%=2400W.
Set the duty cycle of the PWM modulation signal used during
Duty cycle

After enabling this function, if the clearance distance between two
shapes is less than the set value of "maximum clearance length for
Short distance short distance without lifting" in the global parameter, then after the
without lifting up previous shape is processed, the Z-axis will not be lifted, and it will be
directly moved to the starting point of the next shape to start
processing.
Before cutting the actual trajectory, drill holes in advance at the starting

point (or leader point) of the shape. CypCut provides automatic

47th
 grouping pre perforation, which can be enabled in global parameters.
Note: This option cannot be selected simultaneously with evaporative
film removal.
Perform a film removal cutting along the cutting trajectory using film
Evaporative film parameters, and then perform normal processing according to the layer
removal parameters. After selecting this option, the film removal parameter
settings page will appear.
After normal processing of a single shape, turn off the light and open
the air along the original trajectory to assist in rapid cooling of the
secondary cooling workpiece and reduce the impact of thermal expansion and contraction
on the accuracy of the workpiece. After selecting this option, the
cooling parameter settings page will appear.

Starting speed Set the slow start speed.
6 Power Curve
After enabling this function, you can customize the power/frequency
curve. During processing, the software will adjust the laser power

adjustment of
which is of great help in optimizing the cutting quality of corners. Note:
power/frequency
If you choose to adjust the frequency in real time, you must choose to
adjust the power in real time.

7.13.2 Real time adjustment of power/frequency

If you choose“ ” ， During the cutting process, the duty cycle and
frequency will vary with the speed, and the specific changes are determined by the

power/frequency curve.You can click“ ” button to edit the power/frequency curve.

48th
As shown in the above figure, the horizontal axis of the power/frequency curve is the cutting
speed, and the vertical axis is the cutting power/frequency, measured in percentage. You can add
the corresponding power point at the corresponding speed and choose the smoothing method
for the curve. You can also copy the power curve to the frequency curve by clicking "Copy to
Frequency". Through this table, it can be reflected that when the actual speed at the turning
point decreases to a certain percentage of the target speed, the actual power/frequency needs to
decrease to a certain percentage of the cutting power/frequency. Note: Real time adjustment of
frequency is only meaningful after selecting real-time power adjustment.
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%, then when the actual cutting speed drops to
29mm/s, the laser power is:
Laser power X peak current (percentage) X cutting power (percentage) X speed dependent power
adjustment (percentage) X=500W X 90% X 80% X 79.00%=284.4W
However, no matter how the power decreases, it will not fall below a pre-set minimum value,

49th
usually 10%, which is 500W * 10%=50W.
If "" is not selected, the power will remain unchanged during the cutting process. Using the above
example, the power during the cutting process is 500W X 90% X 80%=360W

7.13.3 Layer mapping

Click the "Process" button under the commonly used menu bar to drop down the triangle, and
you can choose to lock and display specific layers according to the prompts. When importing a
DXF file with multiple layers, click "DXF Layer Mapping" to view the number of layers and
corresponding drawings. As shown in the following figure:

7.13.4 Slow drop of lead wire

When processing thick stainless steel, the perforation process generates a large amount of
plasma clouds, which absorb the energy of the laser, reduce cutting ability, and it is difficult for
the nozzle to blow it out at the cutting height. Therefore, a special lead wire process must be
adopted. After the perforation is completed, the cutting head first blows away the plasma cloud
at a high position, and at the same time, the horizontal processing compensates for the airflow
loss caused by the high height by reducing the speed, ensuring that the board is cut through.
When cutting thick plates, the lead process can be set separately in the layer parameters,
including the cutting speed and power of the lead, the height of the lead descent, and the stable
distance.

Explanation of wire cutting action:

1. First, perform a piercing action at the starting point of the lead wire;
2. After the perforation is completed, lift it up to the height of the lead wire;
3. The Z-axis begins to slowly decrease to the cutting height, while the XY axis uses lead wire

50th
cutting speed to slowly cut to a stable distance position;
4. Start the cutting trajectory after cutting a stable distance at the cutting height.

7.14 stock layout

The layout function is used to arrange the given parts reasonably on the board with the highest
utilization rate. CypCut supports one click layout and also provides multiple optimization
parameters for you to make subtle adjustments, such as part spacing, sheet edge retention,
rotation angle, automatic edge sharing, and residual material management. Click the "Layout"
button in the commonly used or layout page to achieve this function.

7.14.1 Implement layout

After using the layout function, a layout sidebar will appear on the left side of the software,
which can display the parts library, sheet metal library, and arranged sheets.

The parts library will display all the parts that need to be laid out in the form of thumbnails. You
can add parts by selecting the shape and right-click to add it to the parts library or by right

51st
clicking to import parts in the left sidebar. At present, the maximum number of parts supported
by the parts library is 50. In addition, the right click on the left sidebar also allows you to choose
to import standard parts, delete all parts, and save unordered parts.

The sheet metal library can display the type and quantity of sheets, which can be added to the
sheet metal library by selecting a graphic and right-clicking it, or by using standard sheets. In
addition, right-click on the left sidebar can delete all sheets or save them to a file.

The already arranged boards will display the layout results after automatic layout, and boards
that have been processed or modified with layout results will be prompted in the thumbnail. The
current algorithm only supports layout of up to 20 sheets.

Automatic layout requires setting some parameters. "Part spacing" refers to the spacing between
parts that is not less than the set size; The parameter "leaving edges on the board" specifies the
border of the board to be left for part layout; The layout strategy refers to the strategy used by
the program to calculate the layout results, and currently only supports array based methods.

After entering the detailed settings, you can make more diverse settings, including rotation angle,

52nd
layout direction, common edge, and residual material settings.

7.14.2 Layout report

Right click on the arranged boards in the left sidebar, select Report Information to set layout and
quotation related information, and then right-click again to select Generate Report. The process
interface will pop up, where you can set basic processing information for price estimation. After
setting, the layout report result will be displayed. As shown in the following figure:

7.15 Sorting and path planning
You can find the column shown in the "Drawing" tab of the toolbar, which lists all the sorting
functions, and there is also a tool for graphic alignment at the top, as shown in the following
figure:

54th
For the rules of group sorting, please refer to the "Groups" section. If there are no special
requirements, it is recommended to choose the "Grid Sorting" method.

7.15.1 Order Preview

Drag the progress bar of "Shape Order Preview"，Or click on“ ” button can preview the

processing order. The following image illustrates the preview of a part:

Order preview is completely interactive and easier to control than simulated machining. It can

55th
also be zoomed in and previewed repeatedly forward and backward at the desired location for
careful observation. Open the "Display" button on the commonly used toolbar, and the "" button
in the drop-down triangle can display all the empty displacement paths, helping to view the
overall processing order.

7.15.2 Manual sorting

If you want to fine tune the results of automatic sorting, you can use manual sorting. First, select
the shape you want to adjust, and then click“ ” in the button，The functions of
the four buttons from left to right are as follows：
Move to the Move the selected shape to the first machining
front
Move to the Move the selected shape to the last machining
end
Forward one Move the selected graphic processing order forward by one
Backward Move the processing order of the selected graphics back one
one

Please note that no matter how you move it, the order of the drawing can only be changed in the
layer it belongs to. The overall order between layers is adjusted in the "Layer Parameter Settings"
dialog box, see the "Process Parameters" section.
After sorting, click on“ ”The button can view the previous/next graphic under this sorting.
In addition to manual sorting through fine-tuning methods, manual sorting can also be done
more intuitively through the "manual sorting mode". Click on the toolbar on the left side of the

main interface “ ” button ， Entering "Manual Sorting Mode" will automatically open the

numerical display of the empty path and graphic order on the screen. Click with the mouse in the
order you want to set the order of graphic processing. If you accidentally click the wrong button,
simply click or right-click to cancel from the wrong location. If you only want to adjust the order
between two graphics, you can hold down the mouse and move from one drawing to another to
set the order between these two graphics. As shown in the figure below.

7.15.3 Partition sorting

After the order of a certain part is arranged, if you want to fix it, you can select the graphics that

56th
need to be fixed in order, and then click "Group". The order between them will remain
unchanged, and subsequent manual or automatic sorting will not affect the internal structure of
the group. Please note that after grouping, all shapes within the group will be continuously
processed from the first to the last, and no shapes outside the group will be processed during this
time.
If you want to automatically sort only one part of the graphics without affecting other parts, it
can also be done through groups. Select the graphics that need to be automatically sorted, click
"Group", then right-click on the group and select "Sort within Group".

chapter 8 Cypcut machining control

CypCut is a software that integrates design and machining control. All graphic and parameter
preparations mentioned above can be done without the machine tool. After all designs are
completed, the file can be saved and then opened on the machine tool for machining.

8.1 Coordinate System

The "model coordinate system" used in the graphic design process is independent of the machine
tool, and its zero point is displayed on the screen by“ ”marking.The coordinate system used
during the machining process is related to the operating status of the machine tool, and the
correspondence between the two coordinate systems is shown in the following figure:

57th
Click the "Preview" button on the console to display the positional relationship between the
graphics and the machine tool layout on the scree

8.1.1 Mechanical coordinate system

The coordinate system of the machine tool is uniquely determined by the structure and
parameters of the machine tool. The coordinate system established by clicking "return to origin"
is consistent at any time. When installing the machine for the first time or when the mechanical
coordinate system deviates due to abnormal reasons, you can click the "return to origin" button
on the "CNC" page to reset the mechanical coordinate system.
Regardless of the mechanical structure used, CypCut's definition of the coordinate system is
consistent. All movements are relative to the workpiece of the laser head. The laser head is in the
X positive direction to the right and the Y positive direction to the back, which means that the
bottom left corner of the workpiece (steel plate) is the minimum coordinate and the top right
corner is the maximum coordinate.

8.1.2 Program coordinate system

Due to the fixed and unchanging coordinate system of machine tools, it is necessary to introduce
a workpiece coordinate system for ease of use. All program coordinate systems in CypCut have
coordinate axes that are completely consistent with the machine coordinate system, with only
the zero point of the coordinate system being 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 for program coordinate system selection, which can

select "floating coordinate system", 9 "workpiece coordinate systems", and one "external
coordinate system".
Floating coordinate systems are generally used for informal processing, and can be considered as
"starting processing from where the laser head moves". The zero point of the coordinate system
is automatically set to the current position of the laser head when the user clicks on "move
border", "empty walk", or "process".
When selecting the workpiece coordinate systems 1-9, the zero point is manually set by the user
by "setting the current point zero point". Once set, it is permanently saved until the next time it is
set again. Therefore, the workpiece coordinate system is suitable for batch production, and its
position is generally determined by the fixed fixture. Using the workpiece coordinate system 1-9
can maintain that each machining is carried out at the same position on the machine tool.

Click on the bottom status bar“ ”You can choose to display mechanical

or program coordinates, and you can also set the zero points of two coordinate systems here.
Selecting "Coordinate Positioning" will position the cutting head to the specified coordinate
position.

8.1.3 Find zero point after an exception occurs

Scenario 1
If only external devices such as lasers or auxiliary gases experience abnormalities, causing forced
interruptions in processing, it does not result in coordinate system offset. Can be directly clicked

“ ”，Return to zero.

Scenario 2
If there is a sudden power outage, servo alarm, etc., which will cause the mechanical coordinate
system to deviate abnormally, it is recommended that the user execute "return to the origin" and

reset the mechanical coordinate system. Then click on“ ”Find the point.

Scenario 3
If an unexpected situation causes the machining to be forced to interrupt, but the start button is
accidentally pressed, if you still want to find the zero point of the previous machining, you can
return to the zero point position of the previous machining by positioning to the memory zero
point.
Select "Memory Zero Point" from the dropdown menu of the marked coordinates in the console,
and then click "Return Coordinates". Version support: CypCut V731
And above versions.

8.2 Alarm
During the operation of the machine tool, CypCut will monitor all components. Once an alarm is
detected, it will immediately display in a red title bar and take measures such as stopping
movement. Before the software alarm is cleared, a large number of operations will be prohibited.
Please check the machine tool until the alarm is cleared before proceeding. An example alarm is
shown in the following figure:

In addition to the title bar, the "Alarm" window at the bottom left of the interface will also
display alarm information. After the alarm is cleared, the red display in the title bar will disappear,
and the information in the "Alarm" window will be retained. Double click on the "System"
window to open and view all historical records, in order to understand the events that occurred
during software operation.
In addition to alarms, if CypCut detects other operational abnormalities, it will display different
colors in the "System" window based on the level of the abnormality, including warnings,
reminders, messages, etc. These information will not cause the machine tool to stop moving, but
it is still recommended that you pay attention to various messages displayed by the software in a
timely manner in order to take necessary measures as soon as possible.
The alarm can be automatically or manually relieved, and all alarms need to be manually relieved
by checking the box in the lower right corner of "Process Global Parameters".
The following are the limitations that some alarms have:
 Cut off servo enable after emergency stop (to prevent accidental power supply)
 The height adjuster alarm prohibits XY movement (emphasizing that the current status of
the Z-axis is unclear and there is a risk of collision with the board during XY movement)
 After emergency stop, the Z-axis is also prohibited from moving (truly entering a stop
state)
 Z lower limit alarm, not allowed to move or jog (same as 2, to prevent board collision)
 After the height adjuster alarms, it can be configured to manually click the "Allow Axis
Movement" button before it can move. Usage: (Version support: CypCut V731 and above
versions)

1. In the "Alarm Configuration" tab of the platform configuration tool, select "The
alarm of the height adjuster needs to be confirmed before axis movement can be
allowed" and "All alarms need to be manually cleared" and save them.

2. If an alarm is triggered by the height adjuster, buttons for "Allow Axis Movement" and
"Alarm Reset" will appear in the lower right corner of the software. After clicking "Allow Axis

60th
Movement", the machine tool movement can be controlled

8.3 manual test

The manual control functions of the console are shown in the following figure:

With an“ ” icon button，After the corresponding device is opened, it will become“ ”
type.The "Laser" button is pressed to turn on the laser, released to turn off the laser, forming a
spot shot; The other buttons are pressed to switch, released without performing any action, such
as "blow air", pressed to blow air, and pressed again to turn off the blow air. Depending on the

laser, the "shutter" may take some time to turn on after being pressed“ ”type，This state is

read from the laser. Red light causes the laser to emit red light.
Please note that all button actions require support from the corresponding components on the
machine tool. If these components are not configured on the machine tool or the platform
parameters are not configured correctly, some buttons may become invalid.
Click "Mark Coordinates" to record the current position of the machine tool. Then, when needed,
click "Return to Mark" to return to the previously recorded position. A total of 6 positions can be
recorded, selected by "Mark 1".

8.4 Soft limit protection

To protect the machine tool, CypCut has a built-in soft limit protection that can be turned on and
off by default through the "" option on the console.
After enabling soft limit protection, if the software detects that movement may exceed the travel
range, it will prompt "Movement has exceeded the travel range" and do not issue any movement
commands to prevent possible collisions. Please check the graphics and the position of the
machine tool at this time, confirm that there are no errors, and then proceed with the operation.
In addition, the software will also monitor the coordinates of the machine tool in real-time during
its movement. Once it exceeds the soft limit, it will immediately sound an alarm and stop all
movements.
Please note that soft limit protection depends on the machine coordinate system. If the
coordinate system is incorrect, the protection will also be incorrect. Therefore, when the
software shuts down abnormally or machine tool parameters are modified, the correct machine
tool coordinate system should be established through the "return to origin" operation!

8.5 Borders
Click the "Borders" button on the console, and the laser head will empty a rectangle along the
outer frame of the shape to be processed, so that you can determine the approximate size and
position required for processing the board. The speed of border movement is set in "Layer
Parameter Settings" - "Global Parameters" - "Edge Detection Speed".
Please note: If an edge search operation has been performed before moving the border, the

61st
software will record the edge search result. When moving the border, it will move along the tilted
rectangle, which is the actual border movement corrected by "edge search". Please refer to the
"edge search" section for details.

8.6 Processing and air transportation

Click the "Start" button on the console to start processing. The monitoring screen shown in the
following figure will be displayed during the processing, which includes coordinates, speed,
processing timing, and following height information.

When displaying the above image, you will not be able to switch to other pages in the toolbar to
prevent modifications to the graphics during the machining process, but the "File" menu can still
be used. If you need to modify parameters during the machining process, please pause first and
then click the "Process" button on the toolbar on the right side of the interface. The CypCutV731
version supports modifying process parameters during machining, and the modified parameters
will take effect on the next trajectory.
Clicking the "Empty Walk" button on the console allows for the execution of the empty walk. The
difference between empty walk and actual processing is that the laser is not turned on and the
gas is not turned on. Follow can be selected or not. All running trajectories, including the empty
move, speed, and acceleration/deceleration process of "pre perforation", are completely
consistent with the actual processing process, and can also pause, continue, move forward, and
backward. The breakpoint memory after stopping is completely the same as the actual
processing, and even the parameters can be modified after pausing before continuing the empty
walk. Therefore, empty walking can be used for comprehensive inspection and simulation of the
entire machining process without cutting.
If you want to enable following during the idle process, please select "Follow Control Parameters"

in "Layer Parameter Settings"“ ”，By default, following is not enabled during

idle walking.
By default, when the machining is completed, it will automatically return to zero. If you want the
machining to be completed and return to another position, please select the desired position on
the console. The supported positions include zero, start, end, origin, and marker points.If
cancelled“ ”Equivalent to returning to the "endpoint", which means staying
in place after processing is completed. If you are using a floating coordinate system, it is
recommended to choose to return to zero after machining is completed. If you want to return to
the marked point after processing is completed, please select "Automatically return to the
corresponding marked point after processing is completed" and confirm.
After each processing is completed, the processing count on the console will increase by 1. After
reaching the pre-set number of times, a dialog box will pop up to remind you to control the
output. Click the "Manage" button to open the processing count management interface, control
the processing times, and automatically pause. If you need to cycle processing, please click the

62nd
"Cycle Processing" button and make the corresponding settings.

8.7 Stop, pause, and continue

To stop machining, please click on the toolbar during the machining process“ ”Or the "Stop"
button on the console.After stopping, the machine will return to zero. If you do not want to
return to zero，Please cancel the console“ ”Selection of items.
If pausing processing, please click on the toolbar during the processing “ ” Or the "Pause"
button on the console. After pausing, you can click the "Process" button on the right toolbar to
modify parameters, or operate the manual control functions on the console, including laser spot
shooting, gas switch, switch following, etc.

To continue machining, please click on the toolbar during the machining process “ ” The

"Continue" button on the button or console will continue processing from the pause point. Click
"Continue without perforation" to skip the perforation process and continue adding.
During the pause process, you can click "Fallback" or "Forward" to make the machine tool move
backward or forward along the machining trajectory. The distance and speed of each movement

are displayed on the console“ ”Set.

8.8 Breakpoint memory

If the machining process stops or is interrupted due to an accident, the software will remember
the breakpoint. As long as the graphics or parameters have not been modified, you can click
"breakpoint positioning", and the software will automatically locate the place where the
machining stopped; If you click "breakpoint to continue", the software will continue working from
the last stop.
If you change the corresponding parameters after stopping, a "*" will appear after "start" on the
console. When "start" appears, the power-off positioning and power-off continuation functions
will no longer be used.

8.9 Starting processing from any position

CypCut supports starting machining from any specified position, right-click on the desired starting
position, and then select "Start machining from here". As shown in the following figure:

For safety reasons, after selecting "Start machining from here", the software will pop up a dialog

63rd
box asking for confirmation again. After confirmation, the cutting head will first move to the
position you specified, and then start machining from there. The trajectory before the specified
position will not be machined.
If you want to locate to the specified position first but do not start processing, please select
"Position Here", the cutting head will be moved to the position you specified, and then enter a
pause state.
You can right-click multiple times and select "Go Here" until confirmed to be correct. You can also
locate more accurately through the "forward" and "backward" buttons.

8.10 Global parameters

In the "Global Parameters" tab of the "Layer Parameter Adjustment" dialog box, there are some
motion control parameters available for adjustment. Adjusting these parameters will affect the
smoothness of mechanical operation, processing effect, and efficiency.
The following table lists some parameters of the Global Parameters tab.

8.11 Simulated processing

After all the sorting of the graphics is completed, the entire file processing process can be fully
simulated through simulation processing. This process can be carried out without the machine
tool. The simulation process not only allows you to see the order between graphics, but also the
machining process within the graphics.
Click the "Simulate" button on the console to start the simulation. The toolbar will automatically
jump to the "CNC" page. In the first column of the "CNC" page, you can adjust the simulation
processing speed, as shown in the following figure:

65th
8.12 Edge searching
CypCut supports three methods: capacitive edge finding, photoelectric edge finding, and manual
edge finding. Click the "Edge Search" button to drop down the triangle, and you can choose the
most suitable edge search method according to your own conditions to determine the placement
position of the board. The edge search result will be displayed in the upper right corner of the
drawing area, as shown in the following figure:

8.12.1 Capacitor edge finding (needs to be enabled in the platform configuration tool)
Click the "Edge Search" button under the "CNC" tab or click "Capacitor Edge Search" to enter the
capacitor edge search interface.
The size X of the plate is the length of the steel plate in the X-axis direction of the machine tool;
The size Y of the plate is the length of the steel plate in the Y-axis direction of the machine tool.
The coordinates of the last two points of the three-point edge search are automatically calculated
based on the size of the board. Please ensure that this parameter matches the actual size of the
board for edge search. It is recommended to set the board size slightly smaller than the actual
size for edge search. Incorrect settings may pose a risk of binding.
Edge distance: The edge of the edge search is usually located outside the board. After the edge
search is completed, the point found will be adjusted to the inside of the board through edge
correction values. Setting the edge distance to a positive value will further offset the point
towards the inside of the board, while a negative value will offset it towards the outside of the
board to avoid shaking caused by cutting at the edge of the board. If you have already set the
edge distance during layout, this value can be set to 0.
6-point edge finding: It is recommended to use thin plates and perform 6 single point edge
finding actions to effectively avoid interference caused by tooth tips on the edge finding of thin
plates.
Starting from the starting point of edge search can ensure that each edge search starts from a
fixed point. You can use the button on the right console to move the cutting head to the
appropriate starting position and save the edge search starting point. Please make sure to move
the cutting head to the board as the edge search starting position.
Starting from the current position of the cutting head, each edge search starts from the current
position. Please make sure to move the cutting head into the board and make sure there is a
board below before starting the edge search.
If "automatic edge search before processing" is selected, the software will perform a capacitor
edge search once in the empty space or before starting processing based on the position of the
graphic stop point.

66th
Attention: Before searching for edges, please return to the origin and correct the machine
coordinate system. Before searching for edges, please make sure that the cutting head can follow
normally. The inclination angle of the steel plate should not exceed 10 degrees.
The edge search interface is shown in the following figure. After setting the parameters on this
interface, you can perform manual edge search testing.

Click on the "Edge Search Detailed Parameters" in the bottom left corner to adjust the relevant
default parameters. Please use with caution and we recommend using default values.

The edge finding speed has an impact on the edge finding accuracy, and it is recommended to set
the value to 100mm/s;
The edge following height is the height followed by the cutting head during the edge finding
process, and the recommended setting value is 4mm;
The edge correction value is used to correct the edge finding result, and a positive number
indicates that the laser head is offset towards the inside of the board;
The tooth tip spacing is the interval between adjacent racks.

8.13 PLC Process
Click the "PLC Process" button under the "CNC" tab to customize PLC processes and execute
them.
Attention: Inappropriate modifications may lead to serious consequences! If necessary, please
contact our technical personnel.

8.14 Homing
8.14.1 Return to mechanical origin
You can return the laser head to the mechanical origin and reset the mechanical coordinate
system by clicking on the "CNC" tab "Return to Origin" or selecting the "All Return to Origin"
dropdown option. For details, please refer to the "Coordinate System" section. You can also
choose "X-axis return to origin" or "Y-axis return to origin" from the drop-down options to make a
single axis return to origin separately. When returning to the origin, if "height adjuster returns to
the origin first" or "electric focusing also returns to the origin" is checked, the corresponding
return to the origin action will be performed.

8.14.2 Longmen synchronization

During the use of the dual drive gantry machine tool, due to various reasons such as non parallel
installation of the two Y-axes, different frictional forces and loads, the machine tool may
experience beam distortion after running for a period of time, which affects machining accuracy.
The gantry synchronization function determines and automatically adjusts the verticality of the
crossbeam by recording and monitoring the Z-phase signal positions of the Y1 and Y2 axes when
returning to the origin.
Click on the "CNC" tab and select the "Origin" dropdown triangle, then select "Gantry
initialization", as shown in the following figur

After completing the initialization of the gantry, check "Perform gantry synchronization when
returning to the origin" and enter the password to confirm. The relevant compensation
information will be displayed in the system message window of the software.
Attention: After adjusting the machine tool machinery, it is necessary to perform a new gantry
initialization. Please refer to the appendix for specific operating steps and precautions.

8.15 Diagnostic Window

During the machining process, click the "Diagnosis Window" button in the menu bar file, select

68th
Control Card Monitoring, and you can observe the status information of each part during cutting
to determine whether there are any problems during the machining process.

he motion axis displays the signals of each axis and the corresponding encoder feedback values;
Single axis fixed pulse motion test is used to send fixed pulses to the single axis to test whether
the pulse equivalent is accurate; The limit signal is used to display whether the cutting head has
hit the limit; PWM is used to display the laser switch status; It also shows the effectiveness of 8
input ports and 16 output ports.

Encoder detection can detect whether the encoder feedback and motor rotation direction are
consistent. The software's functions such as micro connection, scanning cutting, edge finding,
and one key cutting all need to be used when the encoder feedback and motor rotation direction
are consistent.

8.16 BCS100
This function must be used in conjunction with our height adjuster BCS100. Click "BCS100" to
perform a series of actions such as returning to the origin, following, positioning, and one click
calibration on the BCS100 height adjuster within the software. It can also be operated through
the BCS100 monitoring interface without the need to operate the physical object, which is
convenient and fast.

69th
8.17 Error measurement
Click on "Error Measurement", and the cutting head will run through the blank according to the
shape to be processed. After completion, a blue dashed line will be displayed to display the
feedback trajectory of the servo motor. You can adjust the actual cutting process parameters
through this trajectory.

8.18 Cleaning nozzle (needs to be turned on by the platform configuration tool)

Select the cleaning nozzle from the list on the left side of the platform configuration tool and

check it“ ”，Then, in the software, the CNC module will add a "cleaning
nozzle" option, which can be clicked to enter the cleaning nozzle surface.
Operating instructions:
Move the Z-axis to a reasonable position and click "Set cleaning height".
The process of cleaning the nozzle can choose whether to open the gas and perform gas
selection.
The cleaning nozzle can be moved in a straight, circular, or wavy line. After selecting one method,
adjust the relevant parameters at the bottom, and the parameters on the page can be saved in
the lower left corner. After all adjustments are made, press Start to start cleaning the nozzle.

8.19 Common edge instance

Taking actual samples as an example, we will

70th
 demonstrate common edge layout.
Before the common edge function, the customer
manually drew the drawings through CAD
As shown in the figure on the right:
The red color shows the unclosed graphics, which
are all straight segments that require common edges.
Previously, the customer manually drew them in CAD,
so all of them were drawn as straight lines.
From the figure, it can be seen that the original
image consists of 6 large parts and 10 narrow strip
parts below, with 9x2=18 narrow strip parts on the
right side, which exactly occupies the space of a steel
plate.
Next, draw the three parts in the original picture,
usually these three parts.
All come from the customer's DXF drawings. As shown in the following figure:

The first step is to select all the shapes of

each part and perform "grouping" separately.
After grouping, the outer contour of the part
will be displayed in bold.

Select part 1 and create an array of 3 rows

and 2 columns, as shown in the figure on the
right. Select the 6 parts in the array and click
"Common Edge" to complete the common edge
for the top 6 parts.

71st
Then drag part 2 to the upper right position
near the image above, and the part will
automatically adhere to the boundary of part 1
and align upwards. As shown in the following
figure:

Select part 2 and create an array of 2 rows

and 9 columns to obtain the graph shown in
the right figure.
As shown in the figure on the right, starting
from the top left corner of part 2 and pulling
out a light blue checkbox to the bottom right corner, all 18 parts 2 can be selected, while part 1
will not be selected.
Click "Common Edge", and 18 parts with 2 common edges are completed. Note that the
machining sequence of Part 2 here must be from right to left, otherwise the steel plate will shake
or even deviate due to lack of support.
Select part 2 that has shared edges, right-click, and then select sort from right to left from the
pop-up menu. As shown in the following figure:

Careful users may ask why it is necessary to drag part 2 to the boundary of part 1 before sharing
the edges, as it is difficult to select.
In fact, this order can be swapped. Now let's first make part 3 co sided, and then drag it below
part 1. Select part 3 and create an array of 10 rows and 1 column to obtain the following figure:

72nd
Select 10 parts 3, click "Common Edge", and parts 3 will be completed as a whole with common
edges. As shown in the figure below. Note that the thickness of the lines varies. Before sharing
edges, each part 3 has a bold outer frame, and after sharing edges, the whole has a bold outer
frame. The line segments that have been shared inside are all displayed as thin lines.
When the mouse hovers over part 3, a corresponding prompt will be displayed, indicating that
this is a combination.

Similarly, it is necessary to sort part 3 from bottom to top to avoid the steel plate shaking and
misalignment due to lack of support.
After selecting the overall part 3 with the same edge, drag it to the lower left corner of part 1,
and it will also automatically adhere to the lower boundary of part 1 and align to the left. As
shown in the following figure:

Next, by selecting all the shapes, all parts 1, 2, and 3 can be aligned.
If you don't want parts 2, 3, and 1 to share the same side, you can skip this step. Of course, parts
2 and 3 should also be slightly dragged away from the boundary of part 1.
When dragging the shape away from the common edge boundary, to avoid automatic adsorption,
you can press the spacebar once, and the automatic adsorption function will temporarily become
invalid. Automatically take effect again next time you drag.

8.20 Capacitor edge inspection

The versions after CypCut6.3.712 have improved the function of capacitor edge finding by
avoiding the influence of racks on edge finding in advanced parameters, thereby improving the
accuracy of capacitor edge finding. The improved capacitor edge finding requires the use of a
height regulator V3.0.3299 and later versions. The height adjuster V2.0 does not support the new
version of capacitor edge finding.

8.20.1 Explanation of Single Point Border Patrol Process

Taking the leftward image as an example, without using frog jumps:

73rd
 1) The cutting head follows the steel
plate and begins to search for the left
edge.
2) Move the cutting head upwards by one lifting height.
3) Move the cutting head to the boundary point to the right.
4) Lift the cutting head up to the stopping point.
5) End the edge search process.

8.20.2 Explanation of the Three Point Border Patrol Process

Taking the docking point in the bottom right as an example.

1) Fill in the sheet size. The numerical value should be consistent with or slightly lower than
the actual board.
2) Move the cutting head to the lower right corner area inside the board.
3) The software will determine the edge finding positions A, B, and C based on parameters
such as the current position of the cutting head and the size of the board, where A is the current
position of the cutting head.
4) Perform the first edge search in the negative Y direction to find point X1;
5) Move to point B in the air;
6) Perform the second edge search in the negative Y direction and find point X2;
7) Move to point C in the air;
8) Perform the third point edge search in the positive direction of X, and find point Y1;
9) Complete edge search and calculate rotation angle θ,Determine the bottom right vertex O
of the board, move it to vertex O in the blank, and the edge search result will be displayed in
yellow font in the upper right corner of the software.

8.20.3 Precautions for capacitor edge searching

1. Before searching for edges, it is necessary to return to the origin and correct the machine
coordinate system
2. Ensure that the actual number of pulses sent on the diagnostic interface is consistent with

74th
the feedback from the encoder. If there is any inconsistency, please modify the servo related
parameters.
3. The set values for the length and width of the steel plate are consistent with the actual
values.
4. The inclination angle of the steel plate should not exceed 10 degrees.
5. Before searching for edges, it is necessary to change the machining stop point to top left,
bottom left, or top right, bottom right, otherwise the edge cannot be searched. The position of
the docking point will determine the direction of edge finding.
6. Before edge searching, be sure to move the cutting head into the board as the starting
position for edge searching.
7. Before searching for edges, be sure to confirm that the cutting head can follow normally.

9.2 Main interface
After the system is powered on and initialized, it automatically enters the main interface. As
shown in the following figure：

The display functions on the main interface include:

Current state: Sleep on the current motion state of the servo system
first. There are several types of exercise states:
A Stop: Z-axis is in a stationary state
B Slow stop: After receiving a stop command in motion, there will
be a short transition state of slow stop. After completely stopping,
it will become "stop"
C In the process of machining, lifting up is the Z-axis movement
in the air.
D Following: During perforation and cutting, the float is in the state of following the cutting
plate.
E Resetting: Return to the Z-axis mechanical origin.
F Jogging: Manually jog the Z-axis.
G Docking back: The process of following and lifting up to the docking position.
Follow up gain level Lv: The follow up gain level ranges from 1 to 30, with a default of 17 levels.
The larger the series, the smaller the average error of the follow-up, the faster the follow-up
action, and the stronger the ability to climb slopes when encountering slopes. But if the gain is
too strong, the system will generate self-excited oscillations. This parameter can be obtained
through automatic adjustment.
Set Follow Height: Press<Follow High><Follow Low>on the main interface to adjust the actual
follow height with a step distance of 0.1mm. Press<Follow On><Follow Off>to control whether to
follow currently. After following the shutdown, the axis will automatically lift up to the docking
coordinate (default to the position of Z=0, press<F2>to enter the parameter interface, and the
docking coordinate can also be modified)
In addition, in Ethernet control mode, the following height is set by the CypCut software.
Dynamic error: In the following state, this value reflects the real-time error during the following
motion.
Distance H between the floating head and the board surface: Within the capacitance
measurement range (calibration range), the distance between the floating head and the board
surface="set following height"+"dynamic error". When the measurement range is exceeded, the
"set following height" and "dynamic error" are equal to the calibration range.
Current Z-axis coordinates: After returning to the origin, establish a mechanical coordinate
system for the Z-axis. The downward motion coordinates increase.
The current capacitance value C: The principle of system sampling is to measure the distance by
measuring the capacitance between the float and the electrode plate. The closer the float head is
to the board, the greater the capacitance value. When the floating head collides with the plate,
the capacitance will become 0.

77th
Capacitance change value: This value represents the difference between the current body
capacitance value and the recorded body capacitance after the last float calibration. Square
brackets indicate that the real-time calibration function has been enabled, while parentheses
indicate that this function has not been enabled. The real-time calibration function is detailed in
2.5.8 Advanced Parameters.

9.4 Calibration interface

In the main interface, press the<F1>key to enter the calibration
interface. As shown in the following figure:

When using BCS100 for the first time, it is necessary to first perform servo calibration, then
perform float calibration, and finally perform automatic adjustment. In subsequent use, if the
capacitance changes due to temperature drift or other reasons, only float calibration is needed,
and servo calibration and automatic adjustment are not necessary.
9.4.1 Servo calibration
The purpose of servo calibration is to eliminate zero drift of servo motors. Press the<1>button to
enter the 【 Servo Calibration 】 interface. As shown in the following figure:

78th
Due to servo calibration, the motor will oscillate back and forth slightly. Therefore, it is necessary
to first jog to the middle of the stroke to prevent vibration from exceeding the stroke range. Then
press<ENT>to start calibration.

After the system completes automatic calibration, return to the higher-level interface.
If the servo zero drift value was calibrated incorrectly before, you can press<F4>to enter the clear
zero drift value interface, as shown in the following figure:

After entering, you can press<ENT>to confirm clearing the zero drift
value, and return to the higher-level interface after completion.
9.4.2 Float calibration
The purpose of floating head calibration is to measure the correspondence between capacitance
and position between the floating head and the sheet metal. Press<2>to enter the floating head
calibration interface. As shown in the following figure:

Press the<F4>key to set the calibration parameters.

79th
 Parameter meaning
calibration range The distance raised during calibration and the corresponding data should
be recorded, with a default of 25mm.
Tracking objects Set the material for tracking objects.
Press<ENT>to save the parameters and return to the higher-level interface.
Before calibration, move the float head close to the board surface (approximately 1-5mm away
from the board surface) and keep the board surface stationary without vibration.
Press<ENT>again to start calibration.

The calibration process is automatic and takes about ten seconds.

During the calibration process, users can press the "stop" button to
forcibly end the calibration. After calibration is completed, there
are two indicators, each with four levels of "excellent", "good",
"medium", and "poor". The floating head calibration process can be
briefly divided into the following steps:
(1).The float slowly moves downwards to detect collision.
(2).After touching the board, move up a distance to check the stability of the sensor.
(3).The second slow downward movement of the floating head detects the collision 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 completed, or if the calibration process terminates abnormally, there
may be a problem with the hardware or connecting wires. A simple way to check if the hardware
or connection is normal is to slowly approach the nozzle with a metal object to see if the
capacitance changes. If the capacitance gradually increases until the metal contacts the nozzle
and becomes 0, it indicates that the hardware and connection are normal and meet the
conditions for calibration.
The significance of calibration results is as follows:
Stability: reflects the static characteristics of the capacitor. If
the calibration shows that the indicator 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 need to be at
least "medium", otherwise the system may not function properly. The
ideal scenario for these two indicators is "excellent" or "good".
Effective value: The transformation value of capacitance from 0.5mm

80th
 to infinity from the board. It reflects the measurement range of nozzle
sensing. The larger the measurement range, the better the tracking
accuracy and stability.
After saving the settings by pressing<ENT>, the height capacitance
curve will be displayed. A normal curve should be smooth, as shown
below:

If the curve is not smooth, with undulations or burrs, it indicates that the result is not ideal and
needs to be recalibrated. If the results after repeated calibration are still unsatisfactory, the user
needs to recheck the hardware installation and wiring of the system. In addition, pressing<6>on
the main interface can also view the calibration curve.

When calibrating the float head, various alarms will appear if the calibration fails, as listed below:
Calibration alarm name meaning
Calibration abnormal During calibration, the final cutting head will return to the original
termination position. If it does not return to the original position or the
coordinates are incorrect, this alarm will be generated. Recalibrate
Alarm: Upper limit valid the height adjuster after returning it to its original position.
Calibration abnormal During calibration, if the height regulator continuously detects that
termination the capacitance is 0, it will prompt that it is in a collision state. It is

inability to transmit capacitance signals. After troubleshooting the
cutting head issue, recalibrate it.

9.4.3 Automatic adjustment

Press<3>to enter the 【 Automatic Adjustment 】 interface (there is
no automatic adjustment function in 3D mode), as shown in the following

81st
 figure:

Before automatic adjustment, it is necessary to ensure that:

➢ I have done servo calibration before.
➢ Once returned to the origin, the mechanical coordinates of the Z-axis are correct.
➢ I have done float calibration before and can follow it normally.
➢ There is a board directly below the floating head to follow.
The process of automatic adjustment is to fine tune the position nearby and automatically
optimize internal parameters. After optimization, as shown in the following figure:

Press<ENT>to save the parameters. The meanings of the automatically

adjusted parameters are as follows:
Parameter meaning
The follow-up gain level ranges from 1 to 30, with a default of 17 levels.
Follow up gain level The higher the level, the faster the downstream following action. If the
gain is too large, it will cause following jitter. This parameter is
automatically set after automatic adjustment (the main interface can
also be manually modified).

9.9 Instructions for raising the wiring

9.9.1 Holding brake wiring
The new height adjuster (firmware version needs to be 3188 or above)
already provides an independent Z-axis brake signal interface.
Connect the two brake signal wires of the servo motor to the brake
interface on the back panel of the height adjuster (without
distinguishing positive and negative poles) to achieve Z-axis brake
control (it is not recommended to pull out the enable signal of the
height adjuster connected to the servo separately for emergency stop,
as this operation will cause abnormal brake function of the height
adjuster).

92nd
 When the servo output of the height controller is enabled, it also
outputs a signal to release the brake, that is, the positive and
negative interfaces of the brake output 24V; When the enable is turned
off or a servo alarm is generated, the brake signal output is
disconnected.

If the Z-axis brake signal is not controlled from the height controller
or there is no brake interface on the height controller, then taking
Yaskawa Motor as an example, a wiring method for motor brake is
provided below, and the other servo principles are basically the same.
There will be two signal ports at the motor driver end (such as Port
27 and Port 28 of Yaskawa), and their logical relationship is that
when enabled, these two signal ports are conducting; Enable to turn
off, then disconnect. By using this signal to control the brake, it
is possible to release the brake when the motor is enabled, and clamp
the brake when the motor is disconnected.

Attention: The 24V power supplied by the motor brake line needs to be supplied by a switching
power supply

9.9.2 Sensor Interface Description

The sensor has a 4-core signal transmission cable, which can be made by using a 3-core shielded
cable and two 4-core aviation plugs. During production, 1, 2, and 3 cores must be connected in
pairs, and the 4th core must be connected with a shielding layer.

9.10 Debugging steps

After installation, the controller needs to be debugged as follows for initial use:
1. Set servo parameters. Please refer to the relevant chapters on servo parameter settings for
details.

2. Power on and wait for initialization to complete. Enter the parameter interface and set the
"mechanical parameters".
3. Enter the testing interface and check if the travel switch is effective. If it is a photoelectric
switch, cover the upper limit with a shading material, and the interface will display "Upper limit is
valid"; Block the lower limit and the interface displays "Lower limit valid".
4. In the [Test Interface], perform open-loop jog and observe the direction of cutting head

93rd
movement. If the actual direction of cutting head movement is opposite to the jog direction, the
servo direction is incorrect, and the "servo direction" in the mechanical parameters needs to be
modified. Perform an open-loop jog again. If the Z-coordinate value decreases when jog
downwards or increases when jog upwards, the encoder direction is incorrect and the "encoder
direction" in the mechanical parameters needs to be modified.
5. Enter the calibration interface and perform a servo calibration to eliminate zero drift in the
servo.
6. Manually return to the origin once and turn on the power on reset function on the 【 Reset
Parameters 】 interface.
7. Touch the nozzle and observe if the capacitance changes to confirm that the sensor connection
is normal.
8. Enter the calibration interface and perform a "floating head capacitance calibration" once.
9. After completing the above steps, other parameters can be modified as needed.

10.1 System alarms and possible causes

10.1.1 Upper/lower limit valid
When the system detects that the upper or lower limit photoelectric switch or contact sensor of
the Z-axis is valid, this alarm is generated. At this point, attention should be paid to the following
situations:
➢ Is the wiring correct.
➢ Is the "limit input logic" parameter correctly set, and the limit signal can be set to either
normally open or normally closed.
➢ Does the upper/lower limit indeed sense the object and output an effective level signal.
➢ Check if the sensor is damaged, or if there is oil or dust.

will be generated. If a false alarm occurs, first attempt to reset the coordinate system to the
origin and confirm whether the travel parameters are set correctly, as well as whether the

94th
encoder feedback is normal.
10.1.3 Upper limit is always valid
When the system encounters a negative limit during the process of returning to the origin and
then moves back, but is unable to exit the negative limit area, this alarm will be generated.
10.1.4 Lower limit always valid
During the process of returning to the origin of the system, it encounters a negative limit and
then moves back. When the travel exceeds the positive limit, this alarm will be triggered. If this
alarm is triggered, the user needs to confirm whether the set "return distance" or "docking
coordinate" parameters are too large

10.1.5 Servo alarm

When the ALM signal of interface 14 of the servo interface of the system detects a servo alarm
signal input, the system will generate a servo alarm. Due to different servos, the high/low level
logic of alarms varies, so it is necessary to set the "servo type" parameter correctly. The following
reasons may cause servo alarms on the height adjuster:
➢ The servo type parameter is not set correctly.
➢ Incorrect wiring.
➢ The servo itself has already triggered an alarm.
➢ Interference. (The probability is small, and the system itself has input filtering.)

10.1.6 Encoder abnormal movement

When the system is in a stationary state and detects a change in the feedback value of the
encoder, this alarm will be generated. The causes of this alarm include:
➢ External force causes the shaft to shake.
➢ Poor wiring, invalid zero speed clamp signal.
➢ The servo rigidity is too weak.
➢ The encoder line is disturbed, and it is necessary to confirm whether the shielding layer is
properly grounded, preferably by adding a magnetic ring.

10.1.7 Encoder not responding

When the system sends out analog signals and detects no changes in the encoder signal, this
alarm will be generated. The causes of this alarm include:
➢ Poor wiring, analog signal not sent to the servo, zero speed clamp signal stuck in effect, or
encoder feedback signal not correctly connected back to the height adjuster.
➢ The servo selection is incorrect. You cannot choose pulse type servo, you need to choose
servo with speed mode.
➢ The servo parameters are not set correctly. Did not switch to speed mode.

10.1.8 Excessive positional deviation

When the system detects a significant difference between the feedback position and the target
position, it will generate this alarm. The occurrence of this alarm generally indicates that the
servo system is unable to follow the position loop command of the height adjuster properly. The
reasons for generating this alarm include:
➢ Encoder direction is reversed. The position loop of the system did not form negative

95th
feedback. At this point, it is necessary to modify the parameters.
➢ Wiring, interference, etc. cause abnormal encoder feedback.
➢ The Z-axis is mechanically stuck, causing an instant increase in torque in the system, but the
position is not in place in time.

10.1.9 Capacitance transformer 0

When the system cannot measure capacitance correctly, the capacitance value will become 0.
The following reasons may cause the capacitance to become 0:
➢ The floating head comes into contact with the board surface.
➢ Cutting head water ingress.
➢ The capacitance of the cutting head is too large, exceeding the detection range.
➢ The amplifier is damaged.
➢ Poor contact of the amplifier/cutting head wiring.
➢ Inside the cutting head, there is a short circuit between the positive electrode (nozzle) and
negative electrode (casing) of the induction capacitor.

10.1.10 Reduced body capacitance

When the system detects that the capacitance of the body has decreased beyond a certain range,
it will generate this alarm. The reasons for the decrease in capacitance of the system body
include:
➢ Replacement of accessories, tampering with connections, or random changes in the
characteristics of simulated components may also cause this alarm. At this point, recalibration is
sufficient.
➢ Laser scattering onto the nozzle causes a sharp increase in nozzle temperature, resulting in
temperature drift.
➢ Blowing air causes a change in the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and the
negative electrode (cutting head housing).
➢ The connection wires, nozzles, and other components of the amplifier have poor contact.
➢ Setting the calibration distance too small (less than 10mm in 3D and less than 15mm in 2D)
may also cause an alarm for a decrease in the body capacitance.
➢ Plasma cloud impact capacitor amplifier. The probability of occurrence is high in the cutting
process of stainless steel plates, especially those with film. For stainless steel with film, please
remove the film first before cutting, and do not directly cut with film (except for laser specific
film). Check the grounding of the machine tool to avoid floating ground and ensure reliable
grounding. Do not set the following height below 0.5mm. Increasing the following height
appropriately will improve the situation; Increase the blowing pressure appropriately.

10.1.11 Abnormal increase in capacitance

When the system detects that the capacitance exceeds the maximum calibrated capacitance or
the set collision capacitance, it will generate this alarm. The reasons for generating this alarm
include:
➢ The floating head comes into contact with the board surface.
➢ 切 A small amount of water was injected into the cutting head.
➢ Laser scattering onto the nozzle causes a sharp increase in nozzle temperature, resulting in

96th
temperature drift.
➢ Blowing air causes a change in the gap between the positive electrode (nozzle) and the
negative electrode (cutting head housing).

10.1.12 Excessive following error

When the system is in a following state, it detects an abnormal increase in the distance between
the cutting head and the board surface, which will generate this alarm. Section 2.5.7 of Chapter 2
provides a detailed explanation of the meanings of the two parameters related to excessive
tracking error. The reasons for this alarm include:
➢ Cutting beyond the range of the board surface, there is no object below the floating head to
follow.
➢ The board shakes significantly.

10.1.13 The usage time has expired

The usage time set by the system has expired.

10.1.14 Jog close to the board surface

When the user clicks near the board surface, the system detects that the distance to the board
surface is too close, and this alarm will be generated to avoid collision with the board.

10.2 Common problem analysis

10.2.1 There is obvious shaking and mechanical impact when following the movement
➢ Poor contact between amplifier casing or controller FG pin and machine casing
The machine casing is the negative electrode of the measured capacitor. When the conductivity
between the amplifier casing and the machine casing is poor, the AC impedance between the
positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor is relatively high. This measurement of the
circuit load will result in changes, leading to significant measurement errors. If a good mechanical
connection is not possible, an additional thick wire (preferably copper wire) can be added
between the amplifier and the machine metal casing to reduce the AC impedance. However, this
single point connection method has a higher AC impedance than a good mechanical connection.
The specific indicators should achieve an AC impedance less than 10 ohms.
➢ Servo rigidity setting too high
The servo rigidity setting is too high. It can cause mechanical impact and noticeable shaking
during movement. For Panasonic MINAS A5 series servos, it is recommended to have a rigid
setting of no more than 19 levels.
➢ The number of levels for following motion is set too high
Setting the speed level of the following motion too high can cause shaking during movement. It is
recommended to use levels 10-16.
➢ Poor calibration of float head
When the stability and smoothness of the stored capacitance and position data in BCS100 are
poor, there will be jitter during the following motion. At this point, please re calibrate the float
capacitor until the stability and smoothness are excellent or good.
➢ There is significant interference on site, and the "follow-up gain coefficient" parameter can be
appropriately reduced.

97th
10.2.2 Often collide with the board surface while following the movement
➢ Calibration range set too small or Z-axis speed set too large
Setting the calibration range too small means that the deceleration distance of the following
motion is smaller. At this time, if the Z-axis speed is set too large and the Z-axis speed still does
not decrease to 0 when following in place, overshoot will occur. The greater the Z-axis velocity
when following in place, 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, it is recommended to set the calibration range to 20-25mm.
➢ The servo rigidity setting is too small
Setting the servo rigidity too small can cause the servo response to lag behind the control signal
of the controller, resulting in collision with the board surface. For Panasonic MINAS A5 series
servos, it is recommended to have a rigid setting of no less than level 13.
➢ Capacitance calibration issues
When the stored capacitance in BCS100 deviates significantly from the actual measured
capacitance, it is possible to follow the motion and collide with the board surface. For example, if
the nozzle temperature rises significantly or the connection is not secure. At this point, first
identify the cause of the problem, resolve the issue, and then recalibrate the capacitor.
➢ The ceramic body locking nut is not tightened
Failure to tighten the ceramic body locking nut may result in unstable capacitance detection. The
detection indicator is that the change in blowing capacitance is less than 50.
10.2.3 There is a significant error between the following height and the actual set height
➢ Incorrect parameter settings
The mismatch between the lead of the screw and the actual lead, as well as the mismatch
between the speed gain parameter of the regulator and the set value of the driver, can lead to
this problem.
➢Calibration issues
The above phenomenon often occurs when the floating head capacitance calibration is not
redone after replacing the nozzle.
➢ Abnormal reasons such as laser scattering on the nozzle causing abnormal temperature rise,
or blowing air causing significant capacitance changes, have changed the main capacitance of the
cutting head.

10.2.4 Abnormal lifting height

When cutting, it is found that the height of the lifting is getting lower and lower. At this point, it is
necessary to pay attention to whether there is mechanical slippage or abnormal mechanical
connection.

10.2.5 When upgrading, prompt "verification error, ARM upgrade failed". The upgrade file may be
infected by a virus.

10.2.6 When the floating head is marked, it will lift up if it does not touch the board surface
Please confirm whether the "tracking object" set in the calibration parameters is "metal" or
"non-metal"

98th
10.2.7 Startup display shows motherboard initialization failure
Abnormal power supply and other reasons may cause the BCS100 to be
unable to load the main control program when powered on. To solve this
problem, download the latest program upgrade package from the official
website and refresh the program.

10.2.8 Upgrade unsuccessful or USB drive not found

➢ Ensure that the upgrade file (BCV3.AFM) is stored in the root directory of the USB drive.
➢ Format the USB drive to FAT32 format.

Equipment Debugging Methods and Common Sense of Use

The debugging of the machine tool needs to be carried out by

professional personnel. It must be strictly implemented in accordance
with relevant regulations. Before debugging, please understand the
performance of the machine and read the relevant random technical data.
Correct debugging is the foundation for ensuring the normal operation
of the machine. If there is any ambiguity, please contact our company
promptly. We will give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.
Note: This debugging method includes the debugging method after the
machine is powered on.
The fiber laser of the machine does not require optical path debugging,
but the working fiber must be strictly placed on each axis of the towing
cable, and the bending radius must be greater than 200mm. The movement
radius shall not be less than 200mm, and the fixed radius shall not
be less than 100mm.
Slowly unscrew the fiber optic cable from the fiber optic rack, and
measure the length of the fiber optic cable along the machine fiber
optic inlet and each axis drag line. Before starting the machine,
ensure that the water pipes are connected properly and there are no
leaks!
Before inserting the QBH, the QBH head must be cleaned. If there are
foreign objects, please clean them according to the following steps:
Use a specialized microscope component to observe the QBH head, use
specialized compressed air or professional cleaning agent (ethylene
glycol) and cleaning tools such as fiber specific cotton swabs and
specialized lens paper to clean the dust and other dirt on the QBH
head! It is necessary to ensure that the QBH head is clean and free
of contamination before inserting the cutting head expansion tube!
Adjust the coaxiality and focus of the cutting head lens, and then
try cutting! Repeatedly adjust to the optimal position!

99th
The installation of optical fibers requires trained personnel to
install them. Non professionals are prohibited from plugging and
unplugging QBH!
Precautions for using lenses:
1) Do not directly touch the surface of the optical lens with your
hands, such as the focusing lens, protective lens, and QBH head, as
this may cause scratches or corrosion on the mirror surface.

2) If there is oil or dust on the mirror surface, it will seriously

affect the use of the lens, and the lens should be cleaned in a timely
manner.
3) It is strictly prohibited to use water, cleaning agents, or other
cleaning agents on the surface of optical lenses. The surface of the
lens is coated with a special thin film, which may damage the surface
of the lens if used.
4) Do not place the lens in a dark and damp place, as it may cause
the surface of the lens to age.
5) The surface of the lens must be clean, such as dust, dirt, or
moisture, which can easily absorb laser and damage the lens coating;
And the laser beam cannot pass through or reflect.
6) When installing or replacing mirrors or focusing lenses, do not
use excessive pressure, as it can cause lens deformation and affect
beam quality.
How to install or replace optical lenses:
1) Pay attention to the installation of optical lenses: wear clean
clothes, clean hands with soap or cleaning agents, and wear
lightweight and clean white gloves; Do not use the lens to touch any
part of the hand; Remove the lens from the side and do not directly
contact the surface of the lens coating.
2) When assembling lenses, do not blow them towards the lenses; The
lens should be placed on a clean table, and a few professional lens
papers should be placed underneath. When removing lenses, care should
be taken to prevent bumps and falls, and no force should be applied
to the coating surface of the lenses; The lens holder used for
installing lenses should be cleaned and cleaned of dust and dirt inside
the lens holder using a clean air gun. Then, gently place the lens
into the lens holder.
3) When installing the lens onto the lens holder, do not use too much
force to fix the lens to avoid lens deformation, which may affect the
beam quality.
 Steps to clean the lens:
Different lens cleaning methods vary. For example, the specific steps
for a focusing or collimating mirror are as follows:

100th
1) Clean the lenses with lens paper: Use a clean air spray gun to blow
off the dust on the surface of the lenses; Clean the surface of the
lens with alcohol or lens paper. The smooth surface of the lens should
be placed flat on the surface of the lens, with 2 to 3 drops. High
purity alcohol or high-purity acetone, slowly and horizontally pull
out the lens paper in the direction of the operator, repeat the above
operation several times until the mirror surface is clean. Do not apply
pressure to the lens paper to prevent scratches. If the mirror is dirty,
fold the lens paper 2 or 3 times and repeat the above steps until the
mirror is clean. Do not use dry lens paper to directly pull the mirror.
2) Clean the lenses with a cotton swab: First, use a spray gun to blow
off any dust on the lenses; Then use a clean cotton swab to remove
the dirt; Use a new cotton swab dipped in high-purity alcohol or
acetone to move from the center of the lens to the periphery of the
lens, scrub the lens, and wipe each piece. After one week, replace
with another clean cotton swab and repeat the above operation until
the lens is clean. Place the cleaned lenses in a well lit area. If
the reflection of the lens is good, it indicates that the lens is clean.
If the reflection of the lens is not good, it is necessary to continue
cleaning the lens; Place the lens on the lens holder according to the
above method. It is prohibited to use used cotton swabs for surgery.
a) Storage of optical lenses
1) Optical lenses should be properly stored to maintain their quality
intact and undamaged.
2) The storage environment temperature is 10-30 ° C. Do not put the
lenses in the refrigerator or similar environment. Otherwise, it will
condense and frost when taken out, which can easily damage the lens.
The temperature of the storage environment should not exceed 30 °
C, otherwise it will affect the coating on the surface of the lens.
3) Place the lens in the box and place it in a non vibration environment,
otherwise it may cause deformation of the lens and affect its
performance.
 Fiber optic access and removal methods
QBH plug insertion operation sequence
1. Remove the dust cover on the top of the chuck
Align the red mark on the plug with the red mark on the QBH chuck and
lower it to the bottom.
According to the marking procedure on the QBH chuck nut, first turn
the nut to the left, then lift it up, and then turn it to the left
to complete the fixed locking procedure.
2. Sequence of QBH plug disassembly operations
The disassembly of the QBH plug is the opposite of its installation.

101st
It needs to rotate the QBH chuck nut to the right, then press down,
and then rotate to the right. The plug is in a free state and can be
removed from the QBH chuck.
After removing the QBH plug, be sure to cover it with a dust cover
to prevent dust from entering.

 Focusing lens focusing method: The focusing mechanism of the

focusing lens adopts
The precision spiral lifting focusing box achieves Z-axis focusing,
with good self-locking performance and fine focusing function. The
focusing module is electrically adjustable, and the focusing lens can
move vertically according to the laser head model. The 0 scale is the
focal point near the nozzle, with a distance of 3 mm from the nozzle
at+3 and a retraction of 7 mm from the nozzle at -7.
 Adjustment of nozzle function and center:
The design of the nozzle and the flow of the jet directly affect the
quality of cutting; The manufacturing accuracy of nozzles is closely
related to cutting quality. The main function of the nozzle is to
prevent cutting and melting debris from rebounding into the cutting
head, damaging the focusing lens. The nozzle can change the conditions
of the cutting gas to be sprayed, and can control the area and size
of gas diffusion, thereby affecting the cutting quality. Adjust the
nozzle so that the laser passes through the center of the nozzle. The
specific method is: when dimming, first apply transparent tape to the
nozzle, press the "pointing" button on the handle, and "⊙" will appear
if it is not in the center of the nozzle. By adjusting the two knobs
at the top of the cutting head, the spot light is located at the center
of the nozzle

1. Move the nozzle to approximately the cutting height position.

2. Apply the ink pad to the end face of the nozzle and apply transparent

102nd
 tape to the end face. Attention: The toolbox is equipped with
transparent tape.
3. Adjust the laser output power from 20W to 100W. After the laser
stops, remove the white sticker and be careful not to rotate its
relative position. If the nozzle position is too different from the
center of the laser, the center hole will not be printed on the sticker;
Since the laser center is fixed, the center of the focusing mirror
should be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment screw on the mirror
handle to align with the laser center. Repeat the above operation until
the hole made by the laser on the white sticker coincides with the
center of the nozzle, so that the laser center coincides with the
center of the nozzle.
 The center of the nozzle is different from the center of the
laser
1) Affects cutting cross-section. When spraying cutting gas, the gas
volume is uneven, so the cutting part is more likely to melt on one
side and have no phenomenon on the other side, or the quality of the
parts around the cutting part is inconsistent, which may sometimes
lead to normal cutting.
2) Affects the quality of sharp corners. When cutting workpieces with
sharp or small angles, local over melting may occur. When cutting thick
plates, it may not be possible to cut.
3) Affects perforation, the perforation process is unstable, time is
difficult to control, penetration of thick plates may lead to
excessive melting, penetration conditions are difficult to grasp, and
perforation of thin plates is less affected.
In summary, the center of the nozzle and the concentricity of the laser
are one of the important factors affecting cutting quality, especially
when the workpiece is thicker, the effect is greater. Therefore, it
is necessary to adjust the center of the nozzle to the concentricity
of the laser in order to obtain a better cutting profile.
Note: When the nozzle deforms or melts, its impact on cutting quality
is described above. Therefore, the nozzle should be placed carefully
and not damaged to avoid deformation; The molten stains on the nozzle
should be removed in a timely manner. The quality of the nozzle is
very precise during manufacturing and requires the correct
installation method. If the conditions are changed during the cutting
process due to poor nozzle quality, the nozzle should be replaced in
a timely manner.
 Selection of nozzle aperture
The difference in nozzle aperture is shown in Table 4-1.
Nozzle aperture Gas flow rate Molten removal capacity

small fast strong

103rd
big slow weak

Table 4-1: Relationship between pore size and auxiliary gas flow rate
The nozzle diameter is φ 1.5mm φ 2.0 mm φ 2.5 mm φ 3.0 mm, etc.
3D cutting is generally thin plates and can be used for φ 1.2mm and
φ 1.5mm. The difference between the two lies in:
1) Thin plates of 2mm or smaller: use φ 1.2mm, the cutting surface
will be thinner; apply φ 1.5mm, the cutting surface will be thicker.
2) 2mm or thicker sheet metal: Due to high cutting power, the relative
heat dissipation time is longer, and the relative cutting time will
also increase. φ 1.2mm, small gas diffusion area, unstable during
use. φ 1.5mm, with a large gas diffusion area, slow gas flow rate,
and stable cutting performance.
In summary, the size of the nozzle aperture has a serious impact on
cutting quality and perforation quality. Currently, laser 3D cutting
is used φ 1.2 mm and φ A nozzle with a diameter of 1.5 mm.
The larger the nozzle aperture, the poorer the relative protection
of the lens, because during the cutting process, sparks from the melt
are likely to move upwards, resulting in a shorter lifespan of the
lens.
 Beam focus adjustment
During laser cutting, the relative position between the beam focus
and the cutting plate surface has a significant impact on cutting
quality. It is very important to adjust the focus position correctly.
The laser cutting machine is equipped with a height automatic
following adjustment device. When the height of the sheet changes,
the CNC system automatically adjusts to ensure a constant height
between the nozzle and the surface of the sheet. Ensure stable focus
position.
Manual adjustment method, adjust the adjustment nut at the bottom of
the laser cutting head to meet the cutting needs, provided that the
zero focus position is found during the cutting process. The height
adjustment knob of the operation panel can also be manually adjusted
according to the situation to slightly change the cutting height. An
operator with sufficient experience in height adjustment during
cutting is required.
Autofocus, equipped with an autofocus cutting head, automatically
adjusts the focus position according to parameter settings. The
advantage is that it can improve processing efficiency, compensate
for changes in focus position caused by changes in light path, and
improve product yield
 Find 0 Focus Method
Place a smooth stainless steel plate on the workbench and draw a
straight cutting height set at 1mm. At this point, set the focus to

104th
 0.. -1. -2-3+1+2+3 in sequence. The equifocal continuous output laser
will show signs of burning at the top of the stainless steel plate,
and the thinnest line of burning is the zero focus of the laser.

 Description of the relationship between focal position and

cutting material and cross-section
The following table lists the situations when cutting different boards.

Chapter 12 Debugging Methods for Cutting Technology

 Principles of Laser Cutting

Laser cutting uses focused fiber laser cutting, which is transmitted
through optical fibers. It has high flexibility, fast speed, fewer
fault points, low maintenance costs, convenient maintenance, high
photoelectric conversion rate, and great cost-effectiveness
advantages in system matching. Mainly used for cutting metal plates

105th
up to 20mm. The laser beam is not easily absorbed by high reflective
materials, and the cutting effect on high reflective materials is not
ideal, and non-metallic materials cannot be cut.
 Main technologies for fiber laser cutting parameters
1. Cutting power: When laser cutting, the choice of laser power has
an impact on the cutting quality. The cutting power needs to be
determined based on the material and thickness of the cutting board.
If the power is too high or too low, a good cutting cross-section cannot
be obtained.

When laser cutting, the laser power is too low to cut.

When the laser power is set too high, the entire cutting surface melts
and the slits are too large to achieve good cutting quality.
When the laser power is not set enough, cutting cracks will occur and
tumor defects will appear in the cutting section.
Appropriate laser power settings, combined with appropriate cutting
gas and pressure, can achieve good cutting quality without cracking.
2. Cutting speed: Excessive speed may have an impact on cutting quality,
leading to inability to cut and the generation of sparks. Some areas
can be cut, but some areas cannot be cut. Causing the entire cutting
section to thicken without producing cracks. The speed is too fast,
causing the board to be cut off in a timely manner. The cutting part
shows a diagonal striped road, and molten material is produced in the
lower part, as shown in the right figure.
How to determine the cutting feed rate from cutting sparks can
determine the feed rate: Generally, cutting sparks diffuse from top
to bottom, and if the sparks are tilted, the feed rate is too fast;
If sparks do not diffuse and are few, the feed rate is too slow when
they are together. As shown in the figure, at an appropriate cutting
speed, as shown in Figures 3-14, smoother lines are displayed on the
cutting surface with no cracks in the lower part.

The name and location of the Cutting materials and

focus cross-sectional features
Zero focal length: The laser √ Suitable for thin carbon
focus is located on the surface steel, such as 1mm or smaller;
of the workpiece √ The focus is on the surface
of the workpiece, with smooth
cutting on the upper surface
and uneven cutting on the lower
surface.
Negative focal length: The √ Nitrogen cutting method for

106th
laser focus is located below stainless steel cutting;
the surface of the cut √ The focus is located below
workpiece the surface of the board, so
the smooth surface has a larger
range, the slit is wider than
the zero focal length slit, the
gas flow rate is greater during
cutting, and the perforation
time is longer than the zero
focal length slit.
Positive focal length: The √ Used when cutting carbon
laser focus is located above steel with oxygen;
the surface of the cut √ Used when cutting carbon
workpiece steel with oxygen;
3 cutting heights: The height of the cutting height has little effect
on the cutting quality of the workpiece. If the set value is too low,
the slag removal ability of the auxiliary air pressure is strong, but
it is easy to pour the slag towards the protective mirror and damage
it. If it is too high, the slag removal ability is worse, it requires
an increase in air pressure, and the price is expensive. Usually, the
cutting height is set at a high cutting height between 0.5 and 1.5,
and a small amount of bead residue is formed below the cutting
workpiece, and the cutting part has a good particle pattern.
4 Focus: The position of the focus has a significant impact on laser
cutting, how to select the focus, and its impact on sheet metal
stamping and cutting. Nitrogen cutting stainless steel usually has
a negative focal point; Oxygen cutting of carbon steel plates usually
uses a positive focus.
 Nitrogen cutting stainless steel usually has a negative focal
point; Oxygen cutting carbon steel plates generally use positive
focusing.
5. Nozzles: Currently, the diameter of a nozzle is usually Ф 1.0 Ф
1.5 Ф two Ф 2.5. The difference in aperture size lies in the use
of Ф The cutting surface will be thinner with a 1.5 nozzle. apply
Ф When using two nozzles, the cutting surface will be thicker and
the corners will be easily melted. When cutting thick plates: Due to
the high cutting power, the relative heat dissipation time is longer,
and the relative cutting time will also increase. When using a 1.5
nozzle, the gas diffusion area is small, making it unstable during
use. adopt Ф A nozzle of 2 or larger has a larger gas diffusion area
and slower gas flow rate, making it stable during cutting. The nozzle
is divided into two layers（ Ф 1.5, Ф 2) And single-layer nozzles
（ Ф 1.5, Ф 2.0): Oxygen cutting carbon steel nozzle selection:

107th
Generally, double-layer nozzles are used, and single-layer 1.5 is
generally used for nozzles within 3mm- 12mm generally adopts
double-layer design Ф 2.0; Selection of nitrogen cutting stainless
steel nozzles: Generally, single-layer nozzles are used, with
single-layer nozzles of 1.5mm or smaller, 2mm or larger, and
single-layer nozzles of 2.0. The size of nozzle aperture has an
absolute impact on cutting quality and perforation quality. The larger
the nozzle aperture, the poorer the relative protection of the
focusing mirror, because sparks from the molten material will splash
during the cutting process, and there is a high possibility of upward
movement. This will shorten the lifespan of the lens. Meanwhile, the
quality of the nozzle is also an important factor affecting the cutting
quality. The shape of the nozzle is shown in the following figure.

6. Air pressure: The main function of cutting gas is cooling and

protection. Oxygen can help with combustion and heat dissipation, blow
off the molten material produced during cutting, prevent the cutting
molten material from rebounding into the nozzle, and protect the
focusing lens and mirror. The influence of cutting gas and pressure
on cutting quality: Cutting gas helps to cool heat and combustion,
blow off melt, and obtain better quality cutting cross-sections. When
the cutting gas pressure is insufficient, the following effects will
occur: melting occurs during the cutting process; Unable to improve
cutting speed and affect production efficiency. When the cutting gas
pressure is too high, the impact on cutting quality: When the pressure
is too high, the gas flow is large, the cutting surface is rough, and
the incision is wider; When the gas flows through a large amount, the
cutting part partially melts and cannot form well. Cutting section.
The impact of cutting gas pressure on perforation is that when the
gas pressure is too low, the laser is not easy to penetrate the cutting
plate, and the perforation time increases, resulting in low
productivity. When the gas pressure is too high, the melting point
melts and forms a pore to form a large melting point, which affects
the cutting quality. When laser drilling, higher gas pressure is
usually applied to the stamping of thin plate components, while lower
gas pressure is applied to the stamping of thick plate components.
Oxygen cutting of ordinary carbon steel. The thicker the material,
the lower the cutting gas pressure. When cutting stainless steel with
nitrogen, the thicker the material, the higher the gas pressure, and
the cutting gas pressure is always higher than the high-pressure state
of 1.2 MPa.
7. Introduction line: a line connecting the stamping position and the
contour of the workpiece. A lead in line is also known as a lead in

108th
line. The benefit of adding imports: When the holes are sandblasted,
the amount of workpiece waste generated is reduced. It can improve
the quality of the first cutting surface. It can improve the appearance
of the blade. It is easier to start the cutting tool when cutting
stainless steel. Stainless steel and carbon steel lead sleeves require
2mm. Stainless steel can use straight lead; 2mm and above generally
use a 3-5mm straight line plus R0.2-R0.8 around the small arc; Carbon
steel generally adopts a straight line of 3-5mm plus R0.5- with the
introduction of R3 arc, the thicker the steel plate, the greater the
R value. Oxygen cutting thick carbon steel 5mm or more, cutting small
holes, it is recommended not to add.
8. Direct cutting perforation: generally suitable for 1.2mm carbon
steel plate, stainless steel plate or smaller steel plate with smaller
perforation aperture. Segmented perforation: generally applicable to
carbon steel plates with a diameter of 3mm or less and stainless steel
plates with a diameter of 1.5mm or more. Progressive perforation:
generally suitable for carbon steel plates with a diameter of 3mm or
more, while stainless steel plates with a diameter of 2mm to 3mm have
fast perforation speed and large perforation aperture（ Ф 2- Ф 3mm),
perforation height>3mm, pressure<2bar. According to the actual
situation. Third level perforation: generally suitable for carbon
steel thick plates with a diameter of 6mm or more and stainless steel
with a diameter of 5mm or more. The ordinary perforation time of thick
carbon steel plate is long and easy to explode. The purity of oxygen
is at least 99.5%. The materials of the lenses, protective lenses,
and nozzles are good. The laser mode has no distortion and wastes time,
and is prone to collision alarms. After adopting progressive
perforation, the perforation time is greatly shortened and the
blasting speed is reduced.

9: In the production and processing process, before mass production,
there must be a trial cutting process called "testing knife". By using
the testing knife, the process parameters required for cutting the
sheet metal can be adjusted, but the testing knife and the entire sheet
metal cutting process may be slightly different, which needs to be
noted. Test knife: Firstly, select a circle for cutting, with the main
purpose of checking whether the parameters can cut normally, whether
the cutting section is qualified, understanding the deviation between
the actual size and the cut size, in order to compensate for the size
in batch production, and attempting to select the most complex contour
in the machining pattern to test the knife.
Precautions for mass production after trial cutting:
1.Pay attention to the limits of the machine tool. The board should
not be too close to the edge, pay attention to the starting position
of the cutting head.
2.When cutting, pay attention to whether the direction of the graphics

110th
is consistent with the direction of the sheet metal. The size deviation
during testing of the tool should be compensated to the number of batch
production.
3.It is best to simulate the program once before cutting to ensure
its correctness.
4.The speed of mass production is 80% of the testing tool speed.
5.The first part to be cut during mass production must be measured
to ensure that inspection and sampling (if necessary) during the
cutting process are safe.
6. Check if the parts are flipped during mass production, as it is
easy to hit the cutting head and issue an alarm. It is necessary to
pause the cutting. Otherwise, it is easy to collide and the board will
move. The solution is to set up micro connections with the cutting
workpiece. The laser head needs to be recalibrated.
7. Before cutting, manually check whether the blowing is normal.
During the cutting process, it is even more important to pay attention
to the use of gas to prevent the lack of gas in the middle, which may
lead to the scrapping of parts.

8.During the cutting process, the operator must not leave the control
console to avoid emergency situations.
9. The starting point is set at the lower right corner of the part
to reduce errors caused by deformation during the cutting process.
10. This part should be at least 10mm away from the edge of the board.
11. When cutting film: the film face is upward. If there is film on
both sides, the facial mask on the following surface must be removed,
otherwise slag will be generated; According to the condition of the
membrane, if the membrane adheres firmly, it can be cut normally; If
there is no film attached. If the work is very hard, it is necessary
to use a snoring machine to remove the film and then cut it (recommended:
black and white film with high viscosity, viscosity of 120, thickness
of 0.05 mm or less);
12. Film removal: First, mark the cutting path and then cut. Simply
put, the same path is repeatedly cut twice, once marked with low power,
the film is cut, and the metal is cut again with high power. The height
of the film can be adjusted by adjusting the cutting degree in the
film removal parameters.

10: Overview of cutting methods for different materials

 Carbon steel cutting process:
This material will achieve better results in oxygen cutting. When
oxygen is used as a processing gas, the cutting edge will be slightly

111th
oxidized. For plates with a thickness of 1mm, nitrogen gas can be used
as the process gas for high-pressure cutting. In this case, the cutting
edge will not be oxidized. A plate with a thickness of 10mm or larger
and coated with oil on the surface of the workpiece during the
processing can achieve good results.
 Stainless steel cutting process:
Oxygen can be used for acceptable cutting end oxidation; High pressure
nitrogen is used to obtain edges without oxidation and burrs, without
the need for treatment. Applying an oil film on the surface of a circuit
board will achieve better perforation without sacrificing processing
quality. As shown in the figure, stainless steel parts cut with
high-pressure nitrogen have small burrs below the workpiece to
increase nitrogen pressure.
 Aluminum cutting process:
Although aluminum cutting technology has high reflectivity and
thermal conductivity,According to the type of alloy and laser
capability, aluminum with a thickness of 6mm or smaller can be cut.
When cutting with oxygen, the cutting surface is rough and hard. When
using nitrogen, the cutting surface is smooth. Pure aluminum is
difficult to cut due to its high purity.
 Brass and copper cutting process:
Both of these materials have high reflectivity and good thermal
conductivity. Brass can be cut with nitrogen gas; Copper can be cut,
and the process gas must be oxygen.
Special process with thin film cutting
A When the film face is upward, if there is film on both sides, the
facial mask on the lower surface must be torn off, otherwise the slag
will be slag; According to the film application, if the film is firmly
attached, it can be cut normally; If the film is not firmly attached,
it must be cut after removing the film (recommended: high viscosity,
black and white film, viscosity of 120, thickness of 0.05 mm or less);
Remove the film: First mark the cutting path, and then cut. Simply
put, the same path is repeatedly cut twice, once marked with low power,
the film is cut, and the metal is cut again with high power. The width
of the film can be adjusted by adjusting the cutting degree in the
film removal parameters. The wider the width, the lower the
probability of the film being blown up.
Special process layered cutting;
The contour of each workpiece is different, some are easy to cut, but
others are more difficult to cut, such as small holes, sharp corners,
etc. In order to ensure the cutting quality and efficiency of the
entire workpiece, we adopt a layered cutting method, so that we can
use different process parameters to control the cutting of different

112th
contours, to ensure the cutting quality of difficult to cut contours
and improve the easy to cut contours. Cutting efficiency. Usually,
layered cutting is mainly divided into continuous wave cutting layer
and pulse cutting layer.

Pulse cutting features: low heat input, small workpiece deformation,

slow cutting speed, high air pressure, and rougher cutting section
than continuous wave cutting.
Application: Sharp corners, small contours, irregular lines
(especially those separated by splines), and precision parts that
require less thermal deformation.
Generally speaking, carbon steel exceeding 4mm does not use pulse
cutting, stainless steel does not exceed 3mm, and aluminum alloys
generally do not use pulse cutting.

Chapter 13 Equipment Maintenance and upkeep

In order to ensure the normal use of the laser cutting machine, it

is necessary to regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment. Because
the entire machine tool is composed of high-precision parts, it is
necessary to strictly follow the operating procedures of each part
during daily maintenance, and have a dedicated person perform
maintenance. Brute operation is not allowed to damage the components.

General guidelines

The use of the most suitable lubricant for professional lubrication

is a prerequisite for maintaining machine quality. This avoids
operational failures and their consequences. In this sense, the
following preventive measures should be taken.
Before putting into operation: Before putting the machine into
operation, it must be carefully lubricated according to the
lubrication instructions. If the machine has not been used for a long
time (such as by sea), the lubrication of the entire machine must be
checked.
Lubrication precautions: The entire device must be thoroughly cleaned
at specified intervals. Obvious dirt can be scrubbed or removed using
an industrial vacuum cleaner. This machine adopts a rack and ball

113th
linear guide transmission method. Due to the different types of
lubricating oil used on the two tracks, the equipment also adopts two
different lubrication methods. The guide rail adopts an electric
automatic refueling pump for automatic refueling, and the oil level
of the automatic oil pump is too low. The system will automatically
sound an alarm. Need to add gear 90GL-5 lubricating oil to the oil
injection port. After oil injection is completed, it can be reset.
The rack should be added every 10 days, using 00 # lithium based grease
as the lubricating oil.

Cleaning and maintenance precautions for water tank: The main function
of the water tank is to protect the laser and cutting head by
controlling the water temperature to ensure the normal operation of
the laser equipment. It is an important accessory that must be cleaned
and maintained.

1. It is necessary to clean the filter daily to ensure good ventilation

and heat dissipation, and to ensure normal water temperature.
The temperature of the chiller unit is generally set at 26-27 ℃ in
summer and 23-24 ℃ in winter. The temperature difference between the
equipment and the external environment should not exceed 5C. Please
adjust in a timely manner during summer, otherwise it will seriously
affect the functionality of the equipment. It is recommended to
install the machine in an air-conditioned room to effectively improve
laser stability.
3. Please note to change the water every 15 days (note: use distilled
or purified water), do not use tap water or mineral water. Before
changing distilled water, clean the water tank first. Use new
distilled water to recover dirty water from the equipment, and then
inject distilled water again.

Cleaning and maintenance of electrical cabinets:

Clean the filter with compressed air or water every week. If the filter
is too dirty, please replace it.
The electrical cabinet should be dusted every three months. If the
environment is harsh, it should be dusted once a month. Turn off all
power before removing dust, and then open the power supply chassis
on both sides of the door. Do not directly contact electronic
components in the cabinet. Clean the internal dust with a vacuum
cleaner (without using compressed air)
Please clean the main computer every six months. The main computer
needs to be cleaned every six months (every three months in harsh
environments), with the fixing strip removed and the cover plate

114th
removed. Remove and clean the motion control card and memory stick.
Please use a clean and dry cloth.
Safety reminder:
During maintenance, the machine must be turned off through the main
switch. It is necessary to strictly comply with safety regulations
to avoid accidents.。

Maintenance of laser source and laser head:

The laser source is the core of the laser cutting machine, providing
the laser beam for the laser cutting machine. To ensure normal and
high-quality operation, as well as reliable operation of the laser
source and extend its service life, please regularly inspect and
maintain the laser source.
Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to maintain the laser
source. The main task is to observe whether the cooling water and air
conditioning are normal every day; The voltage is normal! If there
is an abnormal alarm, please contact BridgeLink after-sales service
personnel immediately!

Optical system inspection and cleaning

Notes:
The inspection and cleaning of optical systems seriously affect the
use of lenses. The surface of optical lenses (protective lenses,
focusing lenses, etc.) should be checked in a timely manner, and should
not be touched directly by hand, as it can easily cause scratches on
the lenses. If there is oil or dust on the mirror surface, it will
be cleaned.
1) It is strictly prohibited to clean optical lenses with water,
cleaning agents, etc. The surface of the lens is coated with a special
thin film, which may damage the surface of the lens if used.
2) Do not place the lens in a dark and damp place, as it may cause
the surface of the lens to age.
3) If there is dust, dirt, or water vapor on the surface of the lens,
it is easy to absorb laser and damage the lens coating; Affects the
quality of the laser beam, even if there is no laser beam.
4) When the lens is damaged, it should be promptly sent to the supplier
for repair. Try not to use damaged lenses as it may accelerate damage
to repairable lenses.
5) When installing or replacing reflectors or focusing lenses, do not
use excessive pressure, as it may cause lens deformation and affect
beam quality.

Method for installing or replacing optical lenses:

116th
1) Precautions before installing optical lenses: Wear clean, clean
hands with soap or cleaning agent, and then wear clean and lightweight
white gloves; Do not touch any part of the lens with your hands; Wear
gloves when shooting. Remove from the side of the lens and do not
directly contact the surface of the lens coating.
2) When assembling lenses, do not blow them towards the lenses; Lenses
should be placed on a clean table, with some special lens paper
underneath them. Be careful when removing lenses to prevent scratches
and falls. And there is no force applied to the coating surface of
the lens; The lens holder used for installing the lens should be clean,
using a clean air gun to remove dust and dirt from the lens holder,
and then gently place the lens into the lens holder.
3) When installing the lens onto the lens holder, do not apply too
much force to the fixed lens to avoid lens deformation, which may
affect the beam quality.
4) Precautions when replacing optical lenses: Be careful when removing
the lens from the box to avoid damaging the lens; Before opening the
packaging paper, do not apply any pressure to the lenses; When taking
out the reflector and focusing lens from the box, clean gloves should
be worn and removed from the side of the lens; When removing the
packaging paper from the lens, avoid dust and other objects falling
on the lens; After removing the lenses, use a spray gun to remove dust
from the lenses, and then place the lenses on optical lens paper; Clean
the dust and dirt on the lens support bracket and fixing bracket, and
do not let other foreign objects fall on the lens during the assembly
process; When installing the lens on the lens holder, do not apply
too much force to avoid deformation of the lens; After the lens
assembly is completed, use a clean air gun to remove dust and foreign
objects from the lens again.

Steps to clean the lens：

Different lenses have different cleaning methods. When the mirror
surface is flat and there is no frame, use lens paper for cleaning,
such as cleaning the reflector; When the mirror surface is bent or
reflected by a frame, use a cotton swab to clean it, such as cleaning
the focusing lens
1) Clean the lenses with lens paper: Use a clean air spray gun to blow
off the dust on the surface of the lenses; Clean the surface of the
lens with alcohol or lens paper. Do not use dry lens paper to directly
pull on the surface of the lens. Instead, place the lens paper flat
on the surface of the lens, drop 2 to 3 drops of high-purity alcohol
or high-purity acetone, and slowly and horizontally pull out the lens
paper in the direction of the operator. Repeat the above operation

117th
several times until the mirror surface is clean. Repeat the above
operation several times until the mirror surface is clean; If the
mirror surface is very dirty, you can fold the lens paper two to three
times and repeat the above steps until the mirror surface is clean.
2) Clean the lens with a cotton swab: First, use a spray gun to blow
off the dust on the mirror; Then use a clean cotton swab to remove
the dirt; Wipe the lens from the center with a new cotton swab dipped
in high-purity alcohol or acetone. After each lap, replace with
another clean cotton swab and repeat the operation until the lens is
clean. Do not use a cotton swab that has already been used. Clean the
lens with a clean cloth, remove any residue on the mirror surface,
and be careful not to scratch the mirror surface; Place the cleaned
lenses in a well lit area. If the lens reflects well, it indicates
that the lens is clean. If the reflection of the lens is not good,
continue to clean the lens; The cleaned lens is placed on the lens
holder in the above manner.

Storage of optical lenses:

1) Optical lenses should be properly stored to maintain their quality
intact and undamaged.

2) The storage environment temperature is 10-30 ° C. Do not put the

lenses in the refrigerator or similar environment. Otherwise, it will
condense and frost when taken out, which can easily damage the lens.
The temperature of the storage environment should not exceed 30 °
C, otherwise it will affect the coating on the surface of the lens.
3) The lenses should be stored in a box and placed in a non vibration
environment, otherwise the lenses may deform and affect their
performance.
When the machine is not in use for a long time, please apply butter
to the moving parts of the machine and wrap them with anti embroidery
paper; For other parts, regular inspections should be conducted to
check for rust. Rusted parts should be treated with rust removal and
rust prevention (if conditions permit, a dust cover can be added),
and the machine tool should be cleaned and inspected regularly.

14.5 Terminal Board Description

124th
The BCL3766 terminal board is installed with guide rails or can be fixed, with an external size of
315mm * 128mm. The two ends are DB62M (hole) and DB37M (hole) interfaces, corresponding
to JP1 and JP2 of the BMC1604V2 card. Connect the DB62 interface of the terminal board to the
JP1 port on the back of the control card using a C62-2 cable. The JP2 interface is fixed to the rear
mounting bracket of the computer with bolts using C37-40 baffle cables, and then connected to
the DB37 socket on the terminal board using C37-2 cables.
The four DB15M (hole) interfaces in the upper left corner are servo control signals, representing
the X-axis, Y1 axis, Y2 axis, and W-axis from left to right. When used as gantry dual drive, Y1 axis
and Y2 axis are gantry dual drive axes. When electric focusing is required, the W-axis can be used
as the focusing axis. When used for pipe cutting, the W-axis is the rotation axis.
The high and low terminals at the bottom left represent the positive and negative limit and origin
signals for the X-axis, Y-axis, and W-axis, respectively. The high and low terminals in the upper
right corner are universal input interfaces, and all low terminals are conductive to COM ground,
which is 0V.
The port at the bottom right is a 20 channel universal output port, of which 8 channels are relay
outputs and 12 channels are thyristor outputs. The first 4 outputs of the 8-way relay only have
normally open contacts, while the last 4 outputs have both normally open and normally closed
contacts. The output of 8 thyristors is 24V common cathode output.
The three 2-core terminals directly above are 1-way PWM and 2-way DA analog signals.
DIP switch:
There is a 2-digit DIP switch located directly below the PWM and DA signals, and its usage is as
follows:

Select PWM voltage for 1 pin and 2 pins

P1 P2 meaning
ON OFF PWM voltage is 24V
OFF ON PWM voltage is 5V

14.6.2 signal type

14.6.1 Input signal
The input signals include: positive and negative limit, origin, and universal input. The input of
BMC1604V2 card is valid for low level: it supports normally open and normally closed input
methods (the logic of the input port can be modified through the "platform configuration tool"

125th
built-in in CypCut software). When set to normally open, if the input port is connected to 0V, the
input is valid; When set to normally closed, if disconnected from 0V, the input is valid.
The logic of the input port can also be modified through hardware jumpers. Currently, the three
input ports that support this function are IN13, IN14, and IN15. There are a total of 2 states for
the jumper, and the ACT-LOW state is shown in the figure, indicating that the low level is valid
(input 0V voltage is valid); The ACT-HIGH state is shown in the figure, indicating that the high
level is valid (input 24V voltage is valid). The default state is ACT-LOW state.

The typical connection method of a photoelectric switch is shown in the figure below, so an NPN
type 24V photoelectric switch (effective at low levels) must be used.

The typical connection method for contact switches is as follows:

The typical connection of the magnetic induction input switch is as follows, and an NPN type 24V
magnetic induction switch (effective at low levels) must be used.

126th
14.6.2 Relay output signal
The load capacity of the relay output contacts on the terminal board is 240VAC/5A, 30VDC/5A.
Can control low power 220V AC loads. If you want to connect a high-power load, please connect
an external contactor.
The connection between relay output and contactor is shown in the following figure:

14.6.3 Thyristor output signal

On the BCL3766 terminal board, there are a total of 12 thyristor emitter outputs from OUT9 to
OUT20, which can directly drive 24V DC equipment. The current driving capacity of each output is

14.6.6 PWM output signal

There is one PWM pulse width modulation signal on the BCL3766 terminal board, which can be
used to control the average power of fiber lasers. The PWM signal level can be selected as 5V or
24V. The duty cycle is adjustable from 0% to 100%, with a maximum carrier frequency of 50KHz.
The signal output method is shown in the following figure:

We strongly recommend that users connect PWM+/- signals in series to one relay output port
(configured as PWM+/- enable) before connecting to the laser, which can prevent laser leakage in

128th
modulation mode. Additionally, please adjust the level of the PWM signal. The 24V or 5V level
can be selected through a toggle switch.

14.7 Terminal Description

14.7.1 External power supply
The BCL3766 terminal board needs to be supplied with a DC 24V power supply from an external
switch power supply. The 24V and COM input terminals of the power supply are connected to the
24V and 0V power output interfaces of the switching power supply, respectively.

14.7.2 Servo control interface

The four servo control interfaces on BCL3766 are DB15 with two rows of holes, and the pin
definitions are shown in the following figure:

The definition of the accompanying servo cable signal line is shown in the following figure:

PUL+ 、PUL- ：PULS，differential output signal;
DIR+ 、DIR- ：Direction (DIR), differential output signal;
A+ 、A- 、B+ 、B- 、Z+ 、Z- ：Encoder three-phase, input signal.
The polarity of SON and ALM signals can be adjusted through hardware jumpers;

The SON signal jumps to the ACT-LOW state, and the output signal is effective at a low level
(effective at 0V output); Jump to ACT-HIGH state, output signal high level valid (24V output valid);

Default ACT-LOW status;
The ALM signal jumps to the ACT-LOW state, and the input signal is effective at a low level
(effective at 0V input); Jump to ACT-HIGH state, input signal high level valid (24V input valid);
Default ACT-LOW status;
When connecting other branded drives, pay attention to the following:
(1) Please first confirm the type of servo driver SON signal you have selected, whether it is
low-level active (i.e. ON when conducting with GND of 24V power supply);
(2) Determine the parameter settings of the servo drive as follows: the received pulse signal type
is "pulse plus direction";
(3) Determine whether there is an external emergency stop signal input in the input terminal of
the servo drive, and the logic of this signal;

(4) Before the driver test runs, it is necessary to supply 24V power to the terminal board, as the
24V power required by the server is supplied through the terminal board;
(5) If the drive still cannot operate, make sure that the drive parameters are set to not use
"forward and reverse input inhibit";
(6) The shielding layer of the signal line is connected to the servo drive housing.

14.7.3 Origin limit

X: X negative limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
X0: X origin signal, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
X+: X positive limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
COM: Ground, the common terminal of the above three signals.

Y: Y negative limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;

Y0: Y origin signal, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
Y+: Y positive limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
COM: Ground, the common terminal of the above three signals.

W: W negative limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;

W0: W origin signal, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
W+: W positive limit, dedicated input signal, effective at low levels;
COM: Ground, the common terminal of the above three signals.
The input logic of limit and origin signals can be changed through the built-in "platform
configuration tool" of CypCut software.

14.7.5 GPIO
There are a total of 15 universal inputs from IN1 to IN15. 15 universal inputs can be configured
into various custom buttons or alarm inputs through the platform configuration tool provided by
the CypCut software.

14.7.6 Universal output

There are a total of 8 relay outputs from OUT1 to OUT8. The 8 relay output ports can be

130th
configured as control interfaces related to "laser", "auxiliary gas", "height adjuster", and
"indicator light" through the "platform configuration tool" provided by CypCut software.
When using the BCL3766 terminal board, in addition to 8 relay outputs, there are also 12
thyristor output interfaces that can be used to directly drive 24V DC peripherals.

14.7.7 analog output

DA1 and DA2 have two channels of 0-10V analog output. DA1 and DA2 can be configured as
control signals for laser peak power and proportional valve through the platform configuration
tool provided by CypCut software.

14.7.8 PWM output

When the CypCut software's built-in "platform configuration tool" configures the type of laser
used as "fiber laser". The PWM output port will be activated to control the average power of the
fiber laser.
When PWM needs to use 5V control, pin 1 of the 2-digit DIP switch is OFF and pin 2 is ON. When
PWM requires 24V control, pin 1 of the 2-position DIP switch is ON and pin 2 is OFF.
