Detailed explanation of laser cutting machine software operation interface and answers to common questions

As a high-precision device in modern industrial manufacturing, the convenience and ease of use of the software operation interface of the laser cutting machine are crucial to improving production efficiency. At the same time, understanding and solving common problems encountered by the laser cutting machine during use is also the key to ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. This article will introduce the main functions and layout of the laser cutting machine software operation interface in detail, and provide practical answers to common questions.

1. Detailed explanation of laser cutting machine software operation interface

The software operation interface of the laser cutting machine usually includes menu bar, toolbar, graphic property bar, edit bar, control panel, layer toolbar and other parts. The following is a detailed introduction to each part:

‌Menu bar‌: The main functions of the software can be realized by executing the commands in the menu bar. Including file import and save, processing pattern editing and drawing, equipment parameter setting, processing method arrangement and optimization, function query and help, etc. This is the core area of ​​software operation. Users need to be familiar with the functions of each menu item in order to perform cutting tasks efficiently.

‌Toolbar‌: Common equipment function options are set on the toolbar, such as zooming in and out of graphics, setting and optimizing processing paths, and simulated processing. These function buttons are usually presented in the form of icons, and users can quickly perform corresponding operations by clicking on the icons.

‌Graphic property bar‌: used to display and edit the properties of the currently selected graphic, such as color, line type, line width, etc. Users can make detailed adjustments to the graphics here to meet processing needs.

‌Edit bar‌: provides common drawing functions, such as drawing points and lines, drawing polygons, copying arrays, etc. These functions are mainly used to edit processing drawings, so that users can draw and modify graphics according to actual needs.

‌Control panel‌: can directly operate the laser equipment and adjust the laser parameters. Including manual control, laser power, laser speed, laser origin setting, preview processing time, etc. The control panel is an important window for users to interact with the laser cutting machine, and users need to master the setting methods of various parameters.

‌Layer toolbar‌: used to manage different layers, so that users can edit and manage complex graphics in layers. Through the layer toolbar, users can easily hide, display or lock a layer to improve editing efficiency.

2. Common problems and answers of laser cutting machines

‌What should I do if the laser cutting machine does not emit light? ‌

Check whether the water circulation is normal and ensure that the water protection device works properly. If the water protection is broken, try to short-circuit the water protection.

Pre-adjust and observe whether the ammeter swings. If not, use a multimeter to check whether the laser power supply has 220V input. If there is power but no light, it may be a power failure and needs to be replaced.

Check whether the potentiometer is damaged. You can short-circuit the GND ground wire and P water protection on the power supply to test whether the water protection is broken, and short-circuit +5V and AIN to check the maximum output power. If light is emitted, it is a potentiometer problem and needs to be replaced.

How to solve abnormal phenomena such as random walking or pause of the machine? ‌

This is usually caused by static electricity interfering with the control card. It is recommended to connect a reliable ground wire to the housing and the laser power supply housing.

When the offline card is working, it is recommended to unplug the USB cable connected to the computer to avoid interference and shutdown.

What should I do if the size of the cut graphics is inaccurate? ‌

Adjust the pulse equivalent in the software file settings. The pulse equivalent refers to the number of pulses emitted by the machine tool for each certain distance it moves. Depending on the machine, the pulse equivalent can be fine-tuned to achieve the best cutting accuracy.

‌How to solve the jamming sound when the machine moves? ‌

Check whether the bearing beads in the synchronous wheel are broken. If they are broken, they need to be replaced.

If the camera is used for automatic cutting, check whether the camera data signal line is broken. If it is broken, it needs to be replaced.

‌How to solve the problem that the laser cutting machine cannot cut continuously, cut accurately, or run out of position? ‌

Check whether the power of the laser tube is weakened. If it is weakened, it needs to be replaced.

Check whether the film on the focusing lens and the reflective lens is worn or contaminated. If it is worn or contaminated, it needs to be cleaned or replaced with anhydrous alcohol.

Adjust the optical path to ensure that the optical path of the laser from the laser tube to the reflector lens and then to the focusing lens is correct.

Check whether the screws on the running synchronous wheel are loose or the belt is loose. If it is loose, it needs to be tightened with a hexagon socket.

3. Summary and Outlook

The convenience and ease of use of the laser cutting machine software operation interface are crucial to improving production efficiency. Users need to be familiar with each part of the software operation interface and its functions in order to perform cutting tasks efficiently. At the same time, understanding and solving common problems encountered by laser cutting machines during use is also the key to ensuring stable operation of the equipment. With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, the software operation interface of laser cutting machines will be more humane and intelligent, and common problems will be solved more effectively. In the future, laser cutting machines will play an important role in more fields and contribute to the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
