Before using the steel plate laser cutting machine, we will import the prepared drawings into the program, and then use the typesetting software to arrange the graphics on a board, so that the laser cutting machine can process the products in batches. Among them, although the typesetting process is very short, there is a lot of knowledge hidden in it. If the typesetting is slightly wrong, it will have a great impact on the cutting effect of the entire board. So, let's list the six major points for attention in typography.

1. Corner melting

When cutting the corners of thin steel sheets at high speed, the laser will melt the corners due to overheating. A small radius is generated at the corner to maintain the high-speed cutting of the laser and avoid the phenomenon of overheating and melting of the steel plate when cutting the corner, so as to obtain good cutting quality, reduce cutting time and improve productivity.

2. Spacing between parts

Generally speaking, for steel plate laser cutting machine, the distance between the thick plate and the hot plate should be large, because the heat of the thick plate and hot plate has a greater influence on the heat, and when cutting sharp corners and small graphics, it is easy to burn the edge and affect the cutting quality.

3. Lead setting

Steel plate laser cutting machine In the process of cutting thicker plates, in order to make the kerf well connected and prevent burns at the beginning and end, a transition line is often drawn at the beginning and end of the cutting, which are called lead and tail respectively. Lead and tail The wire is useless to the workpiece itself, so it should be arranged outside the scope of the workpiece, and at the same time, be careful not to set the lead wire at a place that is not easy to dissipate heat, such as sharp corners. The connection between the lead wire and the slit should adopt a circular arc transition as much as possible, so as to make the machine move smoothly and avoid burns caused by corner stop.

4. Common edge cutting

Combine two or more parts on the same side to form a combination, and try to co-edge large quantities of regular graphics. Co-edge cutting can greatly shorten the cutting time and save raw materials.

5. Part collision

In order to maximize production efficiency, many laser cutting equipment operate continuously 24 hours a day, and use an unmanned automatic loading/unloading device, which will cause damage to the cutting head and interrupt production when it hits the overturned parts after cutting, resulting in relatively high Big loss. This requires attention when sorting:

①Choose an appropriate cutting path, detour around the cut parts, and reduce collisions.

②Select the best cutting route to reduce cutting time.

③ Automatically or manually combine multiple small parts with tiny connections. After cutting, the removed parts can easily disconnect the tiny connections.

6. Surplus material treatment

After the steel plate laser cutting machine cuts the parts, the skeleton-shaped remaining material on the laser cutting equipment workbench needs to be removed as soon as possible to facilitate subsequent cutting operations. For laser cutting equipment without an automatic unloading device, the skeleton-like residual material can be cut into small pieces for quick removal. Thereby avoiding the operator's personal injury caused by moving heavy and sharp-edged residual materials.
