F
Power Adjustment
The Intelligent Materials Database determines the appropriate laser power
based on the material type, thickness, and selected laser type. Power
adjustment enables users to fine-tune this value to accommodate deviations
in material thickness or chemical formulations.
G
Laser Enable
Disable Toggle
Buttons
Enables or disables each laser individually if more than one laser source is
available for the selected laser type.
H
Gas Assist Type
Enables selection for the type of Gas Assist to be applied. Options include
Gas , Air, and None. If using Coaxial Gas Assist , or optional Lateral Gas Assist ,
either the Gas or Air option must be selected.
If Gas or Air has been selected for any process, all processes must have one
or the other selected. If no Gas Assist is desired, the Coaxial or Lateral Gas
Assist attachment must be removed and no process can be set to use either
Gas or Air.
I
Gas Assist Flow
Rate
Enables target flow rate adjustment for the Gas Assist source. This option is
not available when None is selected for Gas Assist.
J
Kerf Width
Enables Kerf Compensation, which provides users the ability to compensate
for the width of a cut or mark when set to any non-zero value. Note that Kerf
Compensation will only be applied to shapes in the design file of the selected
process that are completely closed. Kerf compensation will not be applied to
shapes that are open, even by a small amount.
K
Repeat Count The number of times to repeat a selected process.
L
Material Selection
Indicates the currently selected material for the current database process. The
Pencil button launches the database’s M aterial Selection Dialog that
categorically lists all of the materials compatible with the current system
setup in the Intelligent Materials Database.
M
Material Thickness
Displays the thickness of the material to be processed. This information is
required for Database Vector Cut processes. Units are adjustable in the
Systems Configuration Page .
N
Autofocus
Settings
Enables or disables the Autofocus procedure before the process begins. If a
single material height is used, it is more efficient to only enable Autofocus
for the first process and leave subsequent processes disabled. In the case
shown above, Autofocus is disabled, so the system is instructed to Stay In
Place at the beginning of the selected process.
O
Pierce Toggle
Button
Enables piercing at the beginning of each graphical element. Pierce settings
can be adjusted in the Advanced section of the Configuration Page .
P
Save / Delete /
Discard Changes
Select one of these three options to: Save the process settings, Delete the
current process and move the assigned colors to the unassigned category, or
Discard changes and return to the System Operations Page .
