Page 111: Technical Parameters
7.0 Technical Parameters This chapter will describe the related functions of technical parameters provided by CypCut. Because most of the technical parameters direct relations with the materials to be cut, the used lasers and air pressure, set the parameters according to the actual technical requirements. All the parameters mentioned here including the ones in the graphics should be used as examples rather than being considered as guidance parameters.
Page 112 Please select the graphics to be set with lead lines, click the - icon on the toolbar, then set the lead lines parameters in the popped window. Figure 7-1: Lead Lines Params The supported lead types include circular arc and straight lines while the supported parameters consist of lead type, lead angle, and lead length.

Clicking on the Graphics can change the position of the leading; however, the angle and the length cannot be modified. Figure 7-3: Drawing a Lead Click Outside the Graphics, then click on the Graphics, in this way the operator can draw a leading from point A to point B.

The length parameter of the micro joint can be set by clicking the - button on the toolbar and the new parameters will be valid for the following operations. Except adding the micro joints manually, CypCut also provides the function of inserting micro joints automatically. The operator can click the button, set the parameters in the popped dialog box and then confirm it.
Page 117: Coedge
Note that the CypCut software will always group the graphics with -Coedges to ensure the integrity of these graphics. Furthermore, the result of bridging one -Group with other graphics or - Groups must be a -Group and it can also ensure the integrity of the graphics. 1.
Page 118 The graphics involved in Coedging will be combined to form a -Group after Codeging. If they meet the requirements of the -Part, the frames of them will be shown in bold like the right figure. If the graphics involved in Coedging include other items such as small holes, combine the graphics and all the interior items together to form a group, then Coedge them.

Bridge If a workpiece consists of many parts, the operator can connect the parts by clicking - . This function can also reduce the punch count. Multiple use of the function -Bridge can also achieve the effect of -One-stroke for all the graphics. To bridge two (2) graphics, please click the -Bridge button and then draw line on the screen and all the graphics intersected with it will be bridged together 2 x 2.

10. Current Capacitance Value C: The principle of system sampling is to obtain the distance by measuring the capacitance between the floating head and the plate. The close the floating head is to the plate, the larger the capacitance value. When the floating head hits the plate, the capacitance will change to zero (0).
Page 169 Figure 8-6: Calibration Interface When using the BCS100 for the first time, perform Servo Calibration, then perform Floating Head Calibration and then make automatic adjustments. In subsequent use, if the capacitance changes due to temperature drift and other reasons, only need to do floating head calibration, servo calibration and automatic adjustments.

components inside the cabinet directly. Clean the dust in the cabinet with a vacuum cleaner (do not use compressed air). iii. Clean the computer host every six (6) months at minimum; every three (3) months if required by the environment. To clean the computer host, remove the fixing strip and the cover.
Page 210 If the motion control card is not found in the device manager, please check the two (2) small lights (LED7, LED8) on the top of the control card to flash. If it does not flash alternately, the control card may be faulty and can be upgraded or sent back for repair.
Page 211 External Dongle, check if the RTC time behind the serial number is the current time. If the time is wrong, the dongle may be damaged. Figure 9-9: License not Found 9.5.2 The Laser Source does not have Light If the laser shutter does not open, check if the output signal of the PWM (up to 4.1V or 22V when the duty ratio is 100%) and DA (0~10V) is normal on the terminal board.
Page 212 9.5.3 The Light of Scanning and Cutting Out is not normal, Light Leakage Send a pulse in the diagnosis window to check whether the encoder feedback is normal. If the direction is wrong, reverse the direction of the encoder in the platform configuration tool. If the number is incorrect, modify the servo feedback pulse and other related parameters.
Page 213 Figure 9-13: Mechanism 9.5.5 Cutting Deviation Check if the servo motor is correctly equipped with a regenerative resistor. • Check whether the trajectory of the cut part is deformed. If the distance of the empty • movement changes and the closed pattern of the cutting is normal, check whether there is looseners between the servo and the reducer.
Page 214 The file autosave.lxd is • not damaged. • The basic information of the machine tool has not been changed (such as pulse equivalent, origin direction, etc.). • The processing time must be more than thirty (30) Figure 9-15: IP seconds. 9.5.7 Height Adjuster Network Timeout Verify the IP address of the tuner in the platform configuration tool is the same as that in the network parameters of the tuner itself.
Page 215 Check whether the IPv4 address of the computer network card is consistent with the first three (3) segments and the adjuster and the last segment is inconsistent. Figure 9-17: IP Address (1 of 3) Figure 9-18: IP Address (2 of 3)
Page 216 Figure 9-19: IP Address (3 of 3) If the problem is not solved, please replace the network card. 9.5.8 Homing is not normal Check whether the Z trust number is enabled in the parameter of the platform configuration tool back to the origin and the 15-core servo wire is not welded or falsely welded with the relevant encoder signal wire.
Page 217 Figure 9-21: Soft Limit 9.5.9 Axis Movement is Not Normal Check whether the 15-core wire and the 62-core wire are connected normally. No need to replace the board card. Exclude whether the board card damages the servo and whether the parameters are set incorrectly.
Page 218 Figure 9-23: Capacity (2 of 5) If it is still 0, replace the standard SPC-140 RF Cable of BCS100 height regulator, check whether the capacitor is restored and the recovery will be normal. Replace the amplifier and check if the capacitance is restored.

Page 220 9.5.12 The Laser Head Direct Touch Board The floating head calibration is performed again, whether the real-time calibration is started when the docking coordinate is set too low (the criterion is that the switch will be followed immediately after the calibration and the value in square shall not exceed 300 after the C value of the capacitor is checked).
Page 221 Check whether the cutting head sensor head is not properly installed and whether there is light deviation. 9.5.14 Cutting Thin Plate, Thick Plate Edge Jitter Turn on the vibration suppression function in the advanced parameters of the height regulator F2 –8.
Page 222 9.5.17 Floating Head Calibration Cannot Be Marked Move the cutting head close to the sheet and click the number 5 key on the main interface of the height adjustor to observe the DIF value. If the value is above 30, power off the servo, laser, transformer, and other powerful successively and observe the DIF value.
Page 223 Figure 9-31: Piercing Height 9.5.19 Servo Overload Alarm after the Height Adjuster Returns to the Origin Check the upper limit for failure. Check whether the upper limit position is too close to the top of the screw rod and whether the speed to the origin is too fast.
Page 224 Figure 9-32: Reset 9.5.21 Adjuster Floating Head Calibration Failed If the alarm indicates that the upper limit is valid, the height adjuster shall be returned to the origin and then the floating head calibration shall be carried out again. The alarm indicates that the capacitance is abnormal.

9.5.24 Encoder Abnormal Motion The height regulator does not send motion instructions, but the motor is in motion, it is necessary to check whether there is zero drift in the motor or the motor falls due to gravity when the servo is not enabled.
Page 226: Analysis Of Deformation Of Cutting Small Holes (Small Diameter And Thick Plate)
Analysis of Deformation of Cutting Small Holes (Small Diameter and Thick Plate) Because the machine (only for high-power laser cutting machine) does not use blasting and perforation when making small holes, but by pulse perforation (soft piercing), which makes the laser energy concentrated in a small area.
