Explanation of Terminology
Explanation of Terminology
The following table explains the terminology related to laser welding. General terms
and the terms peculiar to this laser are included. When there is any related page in
this Operation Manual, the reference page is shown.
A
ACK
Control code that is used for communication between computers. Affirmative response that is
sent from the computer of transmission destination to the transmission source. Abbreviation of
acknowledgement (affirmative response). → P.139
Asynchronous system
Communication system in which the transmitting timing is not matched with the receiving tim-
ing. In the synchronous system, timing information is transmitted at data transmission and the
receiving side receive the data by using this timing information. In the asynchronous system, the
receiving side receives only data.
B
BCC
Control code that is used for communication between computers. Error check character that is
added to check a transmission error for each block of the communication text. Abbreviation of
Block Check Character. → P.139
C
COM (Common)
Common line. This means a connecting point where the multiple points are connected to the
same common point. The electric circuit includes an A contact, B contact, and Common. The
common contact is connected to the A contact and B contact commonly. Abbreviation of Com-
mon.
Common
Common line. This means a connecting point where multiple points are commonly connected to
the same point in the circuit or wiring. The electric circuit includes an A contact, B contact, and
Common. The common contact is connected to the A contact and B contact commonly. This is
abbreviated as COM.
CW
Flexible waveform of CW (continuous) oscillation that is a laser light output means to be used by
this laser. Laser light with a flexible waveform in the case where output time and the output value
of each point are set in the range of POINT 01 and POINT 20. → P.84
D
Data bit Bit to indicate one-character data that is used for asynchronous communication. → P.139
Diode laser Package that mounts the LD bar in a heat sink.
E
ETX Control code that is used for communication between computers. → P.139
Excitation
Phenomenon in which the electrons around an atom proceed from the ground status to a one-
upper status. In the case of laser, excitation means that the atoms or molecules in the laser
medium proceed from a low energy status to a high energy status when energy is given from the
outside.
F
FC-LD
Unit that permits diode laser light to be emitted from the fiber by using a special optical system.
Abbreviation of Fiber Coupling Laser Diode.
FIX
Fixed waveform that is a laser light output means to be used by this laser. Laser light with a fixed
waveform by up to 3 divisions in the case where output time and the output value are set in the
range of the first laser and the third laser. → P.80
