2. Y-axis structure

• The Y-axis frame has high rigidity and large cross-section, optimized using finite element analysis technology, helping to reduce weight and ensure high-speed movement capability.
• A sealed protective cover is installed on the machine table, ensuring the Rack and linear guide system operate in a closed environment, limiting external environmental influences.
• The steel beam is welded with low deformation and high weld strength; after welding, stress relief treatment is performed to ensure long-term stable operation.

3. Hydraulic lifting and lowering exchange table

• The worktable uses a welded structure, capable of high load-bearing and stability.
• The hydraulic lift table uses a synchronized mechanism to control four cylinders lifting and lowering simultaneously, meeting large load requirements.
• The cutting surface is always maintained at the same height, so the Z-axis travel only needs to be controlled within 100–120 mm, suitable for high-speed cutting requirements and enhancing dust extraction efficiency.
• The exchange table consists of a converter and two mobile worktables. The system automatically positions between the working area and the exchange area, ensuring repeat accuracy.
• The multi-stage inverter deceleration function combined with Encoder feedback control helps improve the efficiency and stability of the table exchange process.

4. Collision prevention design and Z-axis control

• The collision prevention design of the cutting head helps limit damage to the cutting head in case of collision with the workpiece.
• The capacitive sensor on the cutting head continuously determines the distance between the nozzle and the plate surface. The signal is fed back to the control system to control the Z-axis motor to raise or lower the cutting head, maintaining the appropriate cutting distance.
• The Z-axis uses NSK ball screws and THK linear guides – Japan, ensuring accuracy, stability, and fast response capability.

5. Cutting head system

• Equipped with a Precitec fiber laser cutting head – Germany, with stable performance and meeting high-speed cutting requirements.
• The laser beam is transmitted through the fiber and collimated into a parallel beam before focusing. The protective glass is arranged on a quick-release holder, convenient for maintenance and replacement.
• Using an optical system suitable for various material thicknesses, reducing the need to change focusing parts during processing.
• Through the sensor on the cutting head, the system automatically determines the edge of the plate, position, and angle of the workpiece; the cutting program is then adjusted according to the actual position, helping to reduce alignment time and manual operations.

6. YLS IPG laser generator

• The laser source is modular. When a module fails, the remaining modules continue to operate, convenient for maintenance and replacement.
• Equipped with fiber detection capability and sensor system to protect the laser beam and generator.
• High energy conversion rate: Ytterbium Fiber Laser source has a conversion efficiency of up to 30%.
• Low energy consumption.
• Semiconductor modular design, not using complex resonant optical systems, reducing the need for periodic calibration and maintenance.
• When a laser module fails, that module is independently replaced without needing to replace the entire laser source.

7. Gas and water supply system

Gas system

• The gas system consists of two parts: cutting gas supplied to the cutting head and auxiliary gas used for dust extraction zone cylinders, worktable clamping mechanisms, and other components.
  Cutting gas includes Nitrogen, Oxygen, and compressed air. Gas pressure is controlled by a Servo proportional valve to enhance cutting quality and efficiency.
• Cutting with compressed air helps reduce processing costs for some thin carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy applications.
• Integrated pressure sensors detect low gas pressure conditions and stop the machine promptly, limiting the impact on cutting quality and consumable components.

Water system

• The cooling water system is divided into two main circuits: one cooling the laser source and one cooling the cutting head; both circulate through the Chiller.
• When the cutting head operates continuously, the manufacturer recommends equipping a cold dryer to remove moisture and oil in the compressed air, ensuring clean and dry air supply.

8. CNC control system

The machine uses the SIEMENS 840D sl control system – Germany, supporting network structure and advanced CNC control functions. The system allows for the adjustment of technological parameters during laser cutting and integrates many intelligent operation functions.

8.2. Gas pressure warning

• When the difference between the set pressure and the feedback pressure exceeds 10%, the machine issues an abnormal cutting pressure warning.
• If the operator has not opened the gas valve or the system does not have enough gas before cutting, the machine automatically detects and stops before emitting the laser beam, helping to protect the cutting head.

8.3. 3-point automatic workpiece alignment

• The system automatically determines the angle and actual coordinates of the plate, then adjusts the program according to the workpiece position, limiting deviations due to misaligned plates.
• When there is no workpiece on the worktable, the system automatically warns and stops the cutting head operation.

8.4. Automatic cleaning and calibration of the cutting nozzle

• With just one operation, the machine performs automatic 16-point calibration to maintain a stable working distance, supporting processing of plates with not entirely flat surfaces.
• Automatic cleaning of the cutting nozzle helps extend the nozzle's lifespan and maintain cutting quality.
  The system supports adjusting the nozzle center position, focal point, and gas pressure through the control interface.

8.5. Quick positioning and reprocessing of profiles

• The operator selects and cuts each detail or border that needs reprocessing.
  Different colors are used to distinguish between cut, uncut, and selected paths.
• With just one click, the system allows quick positioning to the processing location.
  Frequently used positions are saved for quick access.

8.6. Cutting technology parameter library

• Database of cutting parameters by material type and thickness.
