How to use the fiber optic cutting control card

The fiber cutting control card is the control core of the fiber laser cutting machine. It is a motion control card that, by connecting to a PC and leveraging the powerful computing power of the PC, can quickly and accurately control the movement of the laser head to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency processing tasks.

The use of fiber optic cutting control cards can be divided into several steps: board installation, software connection, parameter debugging, and starting processing. Depending on different models and brands, there may be differences in some areas, but the basic steps are usually not significantly different.

Board installation: Fiber optic cutting control cards are divided into control boards and display boards. The control board needs to be connected to laser lines, power lines, motion axis motor lines, and other circuits, so it needs to be installed in the control cabinet of the equipment. The display board comes with an interactive interface that is embedded on the surface of the device, and some control cards integrate display and control into one and are installed separately next to the cutting machine.

Connection software: Usually, the motion control card needs to be connected to the corresponding laser software in order to use it. Therefore, it is necessary to first download the laser software corresponding to the control card on the computer, and then connect the control card to the software. After connection, it is also necessary to communicate the control parameters, check and ensure that the parameters stored in the control card correspond to the device, otherwise it is easy to cause collision accidents.

Debugging parameters: The parameters here refer to several parameters related to laser processing, such as power, speed, pulse frequency, etc. These parameters need to be adjusted according to the material properties and need to be coordinated with each other. For example, power and speed are integrated, and the speed of power increase also needs to be correspondingly increased. If the speed is slow, it may cause excessive local energy accumulation and result in burning.

Start processing: After debugging the laser related parameters, it is necessary to arrange the processing tasks through the control card, including feeding method, processing time, processing times, etc. If it is a special processing task, such as ultra large format segmentation processing, additional corresponding parameters need to be set. Laser cutting machine is an intelligent CNC equipment. After setting the corresponding processing parameters, you don't have to stay by the machine all the time, just wait elsewhere for the processing to be completed.

Overall, there are many details in the use of fiber optic cutting control cards, and this article only briefly describes the basic operation process. To truly learn how to use it, one needs to be guided by professionals and follow the corresponding instructions or tutorials to understand the specific steps. If one wants to become a qualified laser operator, they also need to have a certain in-depth understanding of laser principles and CNC machine tools. In actual production and processing, special attention should be paid to safety issues and operating regulations must be followed.
