Automatic edge finding function of laser cutting machine

        When the laser cutting machine cuts large-format and medium-thick metal sheets in the sheet metal industry, in order to improve the utilization rate of the sheet and facilitate programming, the straight edge of the sheet must be parallel to the X-axis processing direction of the machine tool before laser cutting. Normally, manual calibration is used in the method, which has low efficiency, large errors and serious material waste, which affects the processing efficiency. We have applied the automatic edge seeking function in the laser cutting machine. This function is easy to operate, high precision, and time-consuming, which solves this problem well. The editor will take you to understand the automatic edge finding function today:

 Large-format and medium-thick metal plates are placed on the closed machine tool workbench, and workers only need to press the "edge finding" button, and the equipment will calculate the inclination angle of the plate within a few seconds, and the coordinate system of the machine tool will respond accordingly. The rotation ensures that the X direction of cutting is parallel to the direction of the long and straight sides of the plate.

1. Laser cutting machine system composition, hardware connection and composition required to realize automatic edge finding function, mainly including CNC, servo control, linear drive, sensor, etc.

2. The principle of dynamic edge seeking function. When the sheet is placed on the worktable, if it is skewed, it may cause waste during cutting. If the inclination angle and origin of the sheet can be sensed, the cutting process can be adjusted to suit the angle and position of the sheet to avoid waste. The automatic edge finding function came into being.

3. The automatic edge finding function is applied to the laser cutting machine, which solves the problem of low material utilization in the processing of large-format and medium-thick metal plates, saves the time for calibrating the plates, and effectively improves the production efficiency. Brings objective benefits, and at the same time improves the degree of automation of processing and cutting machines.
