Before using the laser cutting machine, we import the finished drawings into the program, and then use the typesetting software to arrange the drawings on the sheet so that the laser cutting machine can process the products in batches. Among them, although the layout design process is very short, there is a great knowledge hidden in this, the layout is slightly wrong, it will have a great impact on the analysis of the cutting effect of the whole board. Here is a list of six things you need to pay attention to in typography.
1. Corner melting
When slowing down to cut a corner using a thin steel plate, the laser will melt the corner due to economic overheating. The corner produces a small radius to maintain the high speed of laser cutting, avoid the overheating of the steel plate when cutting the corner, so as to obtain a good cutting quality, shorten the cutting time, and improve productivity.
2. Part spacing
Generally, in this case, the thick plate and hot plate are cut, and the spacing between the parts should be large, because the heat of the thick plate hot plate has a larger impact, and it is easy to burn edges and affect the quality of the cutting work when cutting corners and small graphic designs.
3. Lead setup
In the thick plate cutting process, in order to make the weld connection well and prevent burns at the beginning and end of the cutting, transition lines are often introduced at the beginning and end of the cutting, called lead and tail lines, respectively. The lead and tail wire are not useful for the workpiece material itself, so they should be arranged outside the scope of a workpiece, and it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that they cannot be set between the leads in difficult heat dissipation places such as sharp corners. The connection between the wire and the incision should be used as far as possible to make the machine move smoothly and avoid the burn caused by the Angle stop.
4. Common edge cutting
The two or more parts are coedged into a product portfolio, and the rules of a large number of graphics are coedged as far as possible, and the common edge cutting technology can greatly shorten the cutting working time and save the raw materials of the enterprise.
5. Part collision
In order to maximize production efficiency, many laser cutting equipment is 24 hours of continuous operation, and the use of unmanned automatic lifting device, collision finished cutting parts and resulting in flanging cutting head damage and production disruption, resulting in greater losses. This requires us to pay attention when sorting:
① Choose the right cutting path to bypass the cutting parts to reduce the collision.
② Choose an optimal cutting technology route to reduce cutting working time.
Automatically or manually connect multiple small parts together, after cutting, remove the parts, you can easily disconnect the small parts.
6. Disposal of residual materials
After cutting the parts, the skeleton of the laser cutting technology equipment management workbench needs to be removed as soon as possible to facilitate the subsequent cutting operations of the enterprise. For laser cutting equipment without an automatic discharge device, the skeleton-like remaining part can be cut into small pieces for quick removal. This effectively avoids the personal safety injury caused by the operator due to moving the heavy and sharper edge of the residual material.
