7.3 Software ProcessIn CorelDraw, the sweeping method of vendor graph or character sweeping are basic

divided into edge sweeping and area sweeping. In this software, we identify the edgesweeping as cutting, while area sweeping as sweeping(Scanning); Processed BMP imagebelongs to sweeping.

7.3.1Image Sweeping

1SweepingSelect the target graph or characters, click right button of the mouse, select the Property

Processor, click to choose sweeping color; then click and set width as 0 in Edgeitwill just sweep the inner part of the graph or the words.

2CuttingSelect the target graph or characters, click right button of the mouse, select the Property

Processor, click and select (no sweeping)Click and set width as filament inEdge, it will just to sweep the graph and words outside edge.

3Male SweepingSelect the drawn graph and its outside square, unit them as one graph by choosing

Combination in Arrange, click right button of the mouse, in Property Processorwindow;

click and select color, click and set set width as 0 in Edge.

4Line SweepingBecause the line is not closed, our suggestion is you can choose rectangle with

small width to replace.

Figure3

5Image SweepingFor gray image file processed by CorelDraw orPhotoShopit can be imported byCorelDraw and use this host program to output and sweep. You just need to click

button to set its process parameter.When you process the image file inCorelDraw orPhotoShop , you need to adjust the graphs brightness and contrast, then changeit into a gray graph, then change it into a bitmap file, finally change this bitmap file into graygraph, it is the file which can be processed.

7.3.2 Trace output Setup

After having processed graph files in CorelDraw , click and

button showsclick this button and enter Process Property figure 3select yourprocess mode, then click left button of the mouse to set process parameter, click Trace and

enter the file download window, click to save the trace as a file, click to send the trace tothe controller. The unselected trace will not be outputted, and it is also possible to outputmulti traces to one file.

7.4 Laser Process Parameter:

7.4.1Laser Sweeping ParameterLaser Power: the percent is to adjust the laser output power, users need to adjust

it for different working materials and speed.Speed: machine sweeping speed, unit mm/minInterspace: Sweeping interspaces between two column, unit: mmModethere are several sweeping modes: single sweeping and bilateral sweeping.

Single sweeping can not be affected by offset, while bilateral sweeping, you must to set the

16


17/17


right offset value to get a good process effect.

Acceleration: unit mm/s2 the default value is13500 mm/s2the max value is 30000mm/s2.

Acceleration space: machine motion increase and decrease distance, unit mm, defaultvalue is 15mm

Offsetin order to get a good process effect for counteracting error which causedmachine moving, it needs to set the offset sometimes, especially for bilateral sweeping. Lasercutting or single sweeping get nothing to do with this value, unit: mm

7.4.2Laser cutting parameterLaser power: laser generator output power when it cuts.Speed: laser machine motion speed, unit: mm/min.Linear Acceleration: speed increase and decrease ability of signal motor, unit: mm/s2Curve Acceleration: speed increase and decrease ability of multi motors motion,unit:mm/s2

NoteIf sweeping speed is V(unit: mm/s), its acceleration is a, its space is S, thenV = 2 * a

* S.
