Laser is the 20th century after nuclear energy, computers, semiconductors, another major invention of mankind, in recent years, laser processing in China's manufacturing industry, especially in the equipment manufacturing industry in the proportion of applications continue to rise. Various enterprises for laser processing is not only limited to technology but also pay more attention to the efficiency, and multi-head laser control system to meet the application needs of various industries.
Multi-head laser control system is the abbreviation of multi-laser cutting control system, which can control multiple laser heads to cut online at the same time, doubling the efficiency; compared with the ordinary single laser card control system, multi-laser control system has higher processing efficiency, and can process a larger material width.
Multi-head laser control systems are now widely used in the industry, and such systems have many advantages and features that make them one of the preferred equipment for many companies.
Advantages of multi-head laser control systems
① With high efficiency
Controlling multiple laser heads at the same time increases productivity; this means that more work can be accomplished in the same amount of time, thus saving time and costs.
② With high precision
Precise control of the movement and output of each laser head ensures product quality and accuracy. This is especially important for industries that require high-precision processing, such as automotive manufacturing and aerospace.
③ With Flexibility
Adjustments are made to meet different processing requirements for different products; this flexibility gives it a great advantage in customized production and small batch production.
Functions of Multihead Laser Control System
The main functions of the multi-head laser cutting control system include the following:
① Cutting path planning: the multi-head laser cutting control system can plan and optimize the laser cutting path according to the designed cutting pattern. It can determine the best cutting path according to the nature of the material and cutting requirements to improve cutting quality and efficiency. Compared with the single-head laser control system, the multi-head laser control system also needs to avoid multiple laser heads interfering with each other, so the requirements for the algorithm are higher.
② Dynamic parameter adjustment: the multi-head laser cutting control system can adjust the parameters of laser cutting in real time, such as laser power, scanning speed, focal length and so on. By adjusting these parameters according to the different characteristics of the material and cutting requirements, the cutting effect can be optimized, resulting in faster cutting speed and better cutting quality.
③ Abnormality Detection and Alarm: The multi-head laser cutting control system can monitor in real time whether there is any abnormality in the laser cutting process, such as whether there is any blockage, sputtering, burning, etc. on the way of the material. If an abnormality is detected, the system will issue an alarm and take corresponding protective measures in time to avoid equipment or material damage.
④ Processing area detection: The multi-head laser cutting control system can detect and track the action edges of the motion axes by means of corresponding sensors or vision systems. This ensures that the laser cutting is always carried out in the desired area without crashing accidents, and that the material can be cut accurately according to the actual shape of the material.
⑤ Production information management: The multi-head laser cutting control system can store and manage production-related information, such as feeding method, processing times, total processing number, etc.. This can facilitate the adjustment, query and management of production tasks, implement digitalized production, so that enterprises can more reasonably arrange the subsequent processing tasks.
Conclusion
Overall, multi-head laser cutting machine with the help of the control system, not only in terms of efficiency and other aspects of a more obvious improvement, but also in the automation and digitalization of the same enhancement is significant.
Laser control system is the control core of the laser cutting machine, the current mainstream control system solution is the motion control card, motion control card is based on the computer's upper control unit, usually consists of a set of square-shaped electronic board + computer software, the operator can be through the software on the computer, but also through the operation of the board, to give commands, to achieve the manipulation of the laser cutting machine.
