Tool

Tool diameter

The predefined tool diameter is displayed here and can be changed. The definition depends on the current machine and the selected material.

Allowance

Here, you can enter the value that is added or subtracted as an allowance for the contour.

NOTICE! Incorrect travel path: An allowance may only be specified if the traverse path is calculated equidistantly without path correction.

Path correction and direction

Activate path correction

Here, the output is activated with path correction. This ensures that the machine automatically offsets the transmitted tool path by the radius of the tool.

NOTICE! Incorrect travel path: Path correction may only be activated if the traverse path is calculated centrally.

Path outward in a clockwise direction

This activates that the machining of the outer contour is done clockwise.

Path inward in a clockwise direction

This activates that the machining of the inner contour is done clockwise.

Traverse path

Equidistant

This option calculates the tool path offset by the radius of the tool.

NOTICE! Incorrect travel path: The traverse path may only be calculated equidistantly if path correction is deactivated.

Contour centre

With this option, the tool path is calculated exactly on the contour.

NOTICE! Contour violations: The traverse path may only be calculated centrally if path correction is activated.

Macros

Search macros

Here, you can activate a search for macros based on the current geometry in order to insert these.

Vapourising parameters

Vapourise foil

Here, the vapourising of foiled material before processing is activated.

Minimum part size in X / Y

The minimum dimension in the X or Y direction that a part must have so that vaporising is set is entered here.

Maximum part size in X / Y

The maximum dimension in the X or Y direction that a part may have so that vaporising is set is entered here.

Vapourising method 1

With this option, all elements of a laser processing are vaporised.

Vapourising method 2

With this option, only the ignition hole and the lead-in path are vaporised.

Ignition hole

Safety distance

The minimum distance from the piercing point to the contour of the part is entered here.

Burn ignition hole

Ignition holes are burnt with the laser in this option.

Pre-punch ignition hole

With this option, a hole is punched beforehand at the ignition points of the laser (pre-punch hole).

Parameters for pre-punching

Pre-punched hole diameter

Here, the diameter of the pre-punched hole is entered.

Distance between the lead-in path and the edge of the pre-punched hole

Here, the distance of the lead-in path to the edge of the pre-punched hole is entered.

Allowance for collision check during pre-punching

Here, the allowance for the collision check during pre-punching is entered.

Pre-punched hole with open contours

Pre-punching for open contours is activated here.

Buttons

Set default parameters

The predefined default values are set for all parameters.
