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