Sleep Mode is an alternative 
method of powering off the motor 
included in SW0012 Rev 25 or 
greater and FiberCUT

®

 Monitor 

1.6.2 or greater. 

o

 

If the FiberCUT

®

 will be idle for 

an extended period of time 
(>10 minutes), it is 
recommended to place it in 
sleep mode. In sleep mode, the 
servo motor is turned off and 
the head is fully extend.  

 

These actions help increase the 
life of the servo motor. 

 

o

 

To activate the automatic sleep 
timer, use the 

Settings

 menu 

according to 

Section 5.6

 

o

 

The FiberCUT

®

 will only enter 

Sleep Mode when no inputs 
are active and there are no 
obstructions near the tip. 

2.  Rapid Positioning 

Maximize clearance by keeping the 
head in the retracted position while it is 
moving to a feature to be processed. 
Verify RET-POS is active prior to 
moving. 

3.  At Start Position 

Activate the assist gas and select a 
standoff height by activating a 
combination of HS1, HS2 and HS3. 

4.  Processing 

Processing (turning the beam on) 
should begin once the FiberCUT

®

 

controller indicates the IN-POS signal. 

 

This signal insures that the head is 
properly sensing on the part. 

 

5.  At End of Cut 

 

Turn off the beam, retract the head 
by deactivating HS1, HS2 and HS3 
and turn off the assist gas.  

 

Return to step 2 (Rapid 
Positioning) to move to the next 
feature to be cut. 

OR 

 

Return to step 1 (Home Position) 
when the part is complete.
