‌Adjustment method for incorrect software cutting parameter settings of laser cutting machines‌

In the laser cutting machine industry, accurate setting of software cutting parameters is crucial to ensure cutting quality and efficiency. However, due to operator misoperation or problems with the software itself, incorrect cutting parameter settings often occur. This article will introduce in detail the adjustment method for incorrect software cutting parameter settings of laser cutting machines to help operators quickly solve problems and improve production efficiency.

1. Identify parameter setting errors

When the laser cutting machine has poor cutting quality, low cutting efficiency or abnormal equipment alarms, the operator should first check whether the software cutting parameter settings are correct. Common parameter setting errors include incorrect settings of parameters such as cutting height, cutting nozzle model, focal position, cutting power, cutting frequency, cutting duty cycle, cutting air pressure and cutting speed.

2. Parameter adjustment steps

‌Cutting height adjustment‌

Cutting height is one of the key factors affecting cutting quality. Operators should reasonably set the cutting height according to the thickness of the cutting material and the performance of the laser cutting machine. It is generally recommended that the actual cutting height be between 0.8 and 1.2 mm. If the actual cutting height is inaccurate, calibration adjustment is required.

‌ Check the cutting nozzle model and focal position ‌

The selection of the cutting nozzle model and focal position directly affects the focusing effect and cutting quality of the laser beam. The operator should ensure that the cutting nozzle model matches the cutting material, and set the focal point at the optimal position according to the requirements of the focal position adjustment. Generally, the focal position can be judged to be appropriate by observing the quality of the cut section and the slag.

‌ Adjustment of cutting power and frequency ‌

The cutting power and frequency are the main factors affecting the cutting speed and cutting depth. The operator should reasonably adjust the cutting power and frequency according to the type and thickness of the cutting material. If the cutting speed is too slow or the cutting depth is insufficient, the cutting power and frequency can be appropriately increased; on the contrary, if the cutting speed is too fast or the cutting edge is overburned, the cutting power and frequency should be appropriately reduced.

‌ Adjustment of cutting duty cycle and air pressure ‌

The setting of cutting duty cycle and air pressure has an important influence on the cutting quality and equipment stability. The operator should reasonably adjust the cutting duty cycle and air pressure according to the characteristics of the cutting material and the cutting requirements. If the light is broken or the cutting edge is not neat during the cutting process, the cutting duty cycle and air pressure can be appropriately adjusted to improve the cutting quality.

‌Software parameter reset and resetting‌

After confirming that the above parameters are set correctly, if the cutting problem is still not solved, the operator can try to reset the software parameters and re-set the parameters according to the cutting requirements. Before resetting, make sure that the current work progress and cutting parameters have been saved to avoid data loss.

III. Verification and testing after adjustment

After adjusting the software cutting parameters, the operator should perform a cutting test to verify whether the parameter settings are correct. During the test, representative cutting materials should be selected and cut according to actual production requirements. By observing indicators such as cutting quality, cutting speed and equipment operating status, it is determined whether the parameter adjustment is effective. If the test effect is not good, the parameters need to be adjusted again until the best cutting effect is achieved.

IV. Preventive measures and suggestions

To avoid errors in software cutting parameter settings, operators should strengthen their learning and training on laser cutting machine software and be familiar with software functions and parameter setting methods. At the same time, enterprises should establish a sound cutting parameter management system and operating procedures to ensure that operators can operate in accordance with specifications. In addition, regular maintenance and upkeep of the laser cutting machine to maintain stable equipment performance is also an important measure to prevent parameter setting errors.

In summary, the adjustment method of laser cutting machine software cutting parameter setting errors involves multiple aspects, including identification of parameter setting errors, parameter adjustment steps, verification and testing after adjustment, and preventive measures and suggestions. Operators should be proficient in these methods to ensure the cutting quality and efficiency of the laser cutting machine. At the same time, enterprises should also strengthen the training and management of operators, improve the overall operation level, and contribute to the sustainable development of the laser cutting machine industry.
