  • Page 14: Work Parameters

    Work Parameters Curve Disperse: Curve smoothness setting. The smaller values set will increase accuracy, but reduce the speed. Circle Speed: The system will automatically recognize whether processing objects are circles. The speed limit, and the computation speed will affect the process speed. Generally, choose a small value for organic glass cutting.

  • Page 15: Manufacturer Parameters

    Manufacturer Parameters READ Click on this page before adjusting anything as shown on the right and save the settings. The Um/Pulse for the X-axis and the y-axis will be the main settings that will be adjusted. This is where you adjust the dimensions of the image to the expected value.
  • Page 16 Max Acceleration: Acceleration when axis increases or decreases movement. Too big of a setting may lead to motor losing steps or dither; too small of a setting may cause slow acceleration and then slow processing speed for whole image. For axis with big resistance, such as Y axis corresponding with beams, typical setting should be within in 800～3000mm/s2 ;...
