What are the types of fiber optic vision cutting control systems

The fiber cutting control system is the control core of the fiber laser cutting machine. The operator transfers files to the fiber cutting control system and sets the corresponding parameters before starting processing. This is a modern intelligent CNC system. After completing the settings, the equipment can start processing independently without the need for personnel supervision.

The fiber optic visual cutting control system combines visual recognition technology on the basis of the original control system. With visual recognition function, materials only need to be sent to the machine, and the equipment can automatically identify the materials based on their characteristics and determine the area that needs to be cut. Compared with ordinary fiber optic cutting control systems, after adding visual functions, cutting new materials only needs to be automatically recognized by the visual system, without the need to modify relevant parameters, greatly improving flexibility.

The visual control system used for fiber laser cutting can be divided into two types based on function and purpose: macro vision and micro vision. It can also be divided into feature recognition and Mark point recognition based on recognition.

Large visual control system: The large visual system uses digital cameras or other visual recognition devices with a wider field of view, which can recognize the entire machine frame. This type of control system is mainly used for larger materials. After the material is sent to the machine, the system will recognize the material based on pre-set feature parameters, further confirm the processing area, and then automatically start processing, so this is a feature recognition visual control system.

Small visual control system: Compared with large visual systems, small visual systems use industrial cameras with a smaller visual range and can only recognize a portion of the machine's size. This type of control system is mainly used for small-sized materials. Similarly, small visual systems also recognize and start processing materials based on pre-set feature parameters, so it is also a feature recognition visual control system.

Mark point recognition: Mark points are a type of position recognition point distributed throughout the image. The position of the Mark point and the processed image are relatively fixed, so the camera can confirm the specific processed image by recognizing the Mark. The use of Mark point machining requires setting the Mark in the machining file in advance. This is a fast and high-precision machining method, but its flexibility is not as good as feature recognition, and it is suitable for processing materials with flat surfaces.

Overall, different types of fiber optic vision cutting control systems have their own characteristics. Feature recognition can be flexibly adjusted according to each material change, while Mark point recognition can efficiently and accurately complete tasks with fixed repetition weights. The specific selection depends on the processing needs of the individual.
