Separation cut parameters dialogue box

Waste Min/Max

Waste min X / Y

Here, you enter the minimum dimension that a cut-out in the X or Y direction must have in order for the piece to be treated as waste.

Waste max X / Y

Here, you enter the maximum dimension that a cut-out in the X or Y direction may have in order for the piece to be treated as waste.

Separation grid

Separation grid X / Z

The distance of the separation cuts in the X or Y direction is entered here.

Furthermore, an angle for separation grids can be integrated. The angle can be entered from 0° to 90°. If it becomes smaller than 0° or larger than 90°, it is initialised with 0°.

Parameters for separation cuts

Distance to the contour at the start of the cut

The distance between the start of the cut and the contour is entered here.

Distance to the contour at the cut end

The distance between the end of the cut and the contour is entered here.

Min cutting length

The minimum length of the separation cut is entered here.

Generate subroutine block

Here, you select whether a subroutine block is to be formed around the separating cuts or not.

Tool parameters

Laser diameter

The diameter of the laser beam is entered here.

Burn starting hole

The ignition hole is burnt with this option.

Punch starting hole

The ignition hole is punched with this option.

Punch diameter

The diameter of the punching tool is entered here.

Type of separation cut

No lead-in path

With this option, the separation cuts are generated without a lead-in path.

With straight lead-in path

This option creates separation cuts with a straight lead-in path.

Difference angle of lead-in path

The angle that the lead-in path should have to the cut-off is entered here.

Length of lead-in path

The length of the lead-in path is entered here.

Safety distance

Here, you enter the minimum distance that the piercing point of the lead-in path must have to the parts in order to create a separation cut.

With circular lead-in and lead-out path

With this option, the separation cuts are generated with a circular lead-in or lead-out path.

Radius

The radius of the circular path is entered here.

Length

The length of the lead-in path on the circular path is entered here.

Path correction

Here, you select whether the path correction is to be activated on the machine (Yes) or whether the traverse path is to be calculated equidistantly (No). For the equidistant calculation of the traverse path, the tool diameter is evaluated from the technology table of the current machine.
