Description of drawings
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing,, will make technical scheme of the present invention and other beneficial effects apparent by the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the control program of method one preferred embodiment of cutting stainless steel sheet with fiber laser of the present invention;

The specific embodiment
For realizing automation, the optical-fiber laser cutting adopts digital control scheme to operate usually, numerical control (NC---Numerical Control, digital control) be meant that the digital command of forming with numeral, literal and symbol realizes the technology of one or more plant equipment action control, mechanical quantity such as the normally position that numerical control code is controlled, angle, speed with flow to relevant switching value with mechanical energy.Therefore, the concrete application of the method for cutting stainless steel sheet with fiber laser of the present invention can show by the form of numerical control program.
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the control program of a preferred embodiment.Control system is carried out numerical control code according to the NC cutting process of input in advance, to finish cutting operation.As shown in Figure 1, the NC cutting process at first reads the NC cutting codes after starting, and judges whether the code of reading is the bright dipping code, the operation of taking to reduce the operation of cutting speed or not reducing cutting speed according to judged result then.Shown in Figure 1 only is the schematic flow sheet of the control program among this embodiment, and in order to method of the present invention is illustrated, for the concrete cutting control program of having done according to difference cutting work, this flow process also can correspondingly change.
Compared to the method for existing optical-fiber laser cutting stainless steel plate, use the control program of the numerically controlled control system behind the method improvement of the present invention, comprising:
Starting stage in cutting is reduced cutting speed compared to predetermined cutting speed.Increase the cutting speed real time altering function of control program, for control program interpolation speed is adjusted function, when reading the code that goes out laser in the numerical control code, the speed of calling is adjusted function, the cutting speed that reduces to configure is recovered the cutting speed that configures after a period of time is carried out in cutting.That is to say, in the cutting starting stage, because laser is stable not enough, predetermined cutting speed in the technological parameter, the cutting speed that reduces the starting stage can make stainless sheet steel absorb enough laser energies, is unlikely to occur not cutting through phenomenon.
Cut corner size, the cutting parameter of corresponding adjustment laser by real-time judge in the cutting process.Increase the laser parameter real time altering function of control program, when cutting process is read the corner code, judge cutting corner size, adjust different cutting parameters, that is to say,, reduce the laser pulse frequency of corner according to the corner size compared to the laser pulse frequency of straight cuts.When the cutting smaller angle, reduce laser pulse frequency, make the stainless sheet steel heat radiation evenly, be not prone to excessive ablation phenomen.So just be unlikely in less corner, laser energy is too concentrated and is caused wedge angle excessively to ablate.
Corresponding for corner angle and laser pulse frequency can be specifically selected according to actual needs, for example: if corner more than or equal to 90 degree and less than 360 degree, control program does not change laser parameter, continues to carry out next code; If corner is less than 90 degree and greater than 30 degree, control program is reduced to laser pulse frequency 85% of the value of setting automatically; If greater than 0 degree, control program is reduced to laser pulse frequency 70% of the value of setting to corner automatically less than 30 degree.
Fig. 2 is the differentiation to different cutting angles of the control program of method one preferred embodiment of cutting stainless steel sheet with fiber laser of the present invention, dash area is represented the material that palpus is removed among Fig. 2, blank parts is represented required workpiece, also can come the corresponding laser parameter that changes according to the mode of distinguishing cutting angle among Fig. 2.
Automatically control laser instrument bright dipping fore blow assist gas is closed assist gas behind the light of pass.Read function in advance for control program adds code, before carrying out cutting codes, control program reads cutting codes in advance one time, adds automatically before the bright dipping code and blows afloat code, adds the gas code of entering the GATT after the black out code automatically; Control laser instrument bright dipping fore blow assist gas is closed assist gas behind the light of pass.So just be unlikely to assist gas and blowing always or do not blowing always, also reduce cutting operation person's code and write work.Save the use of assist gas, reduce cutting cost.
Further, imageing sensor is set, the realtime graphic of cut surface is passed to display, by adjust the original position of workbench and monitoring cutting process in real time by the observed image of display at the vertical direction of the cut surface of workbench.On the screen of display, show the point of location ruddiness on stainless sheet steel, corresponding adjustment workbench position, accurately location cutting starting point.Positioning accuracy is improved, and the use that can save the thin plate raw material.Compared to the method for existing cutting stainless steel sheet with fiber laser, the imageing sensor of increase can easier accurate location and real-time monitoring cutting process.
