Accompanying drawing explanation
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, by the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, will make technical scheme of the present invention and other beneficial effects apparent.

The specific embodiment
For realizing automation, optical-fiber laser cutting adopts digital control scheme to operate conventionally, numerical control (NC---Numerical Control, digital control) refer to and realize the technology of one or more plant equipment action control by the digital command of numeral, word and symbol composition, mechanical quantity such as normally position that numerical control code is controlled, angle, speed and 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 pre-entering, to complete cutting operation.As shown in Figure 1, first NC cutting process reads NC cutting codes after starting, and judges whether the code of reading is bright dipping code, the operation of then taking to reduce the operation of cutting speed or not reducing cutting speed according to judged result.Shown in Fig. 1, be only the schematic flow sheet of the control program in this embodiment, 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, apply the control program of the numerically controlled control system after method improvement of the present invention, comprising:
Starting stage in cutting is reduced cutting speed compared to predetermined cutting speed.The cutting speed that increases control program changes function in real time, for control program interpolation speed is adjusted function, while reading the code that goes out laser in numerical control code, the speed of calling is adjusted function, the cutting speed that reduces to set is recovered the cutting speed setting 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, compared to predetermined cutting speed in 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.
In cutting process, by real-time judge, cut corner size, the cutting parameter of corresponding adjustment laser.The laser parameter that increases control program changes function in real time, when cutting process is read corner code, and judgement cutting corner size, adjust different cutting parameters, that is to say, compared to the laser pulse frequency of straight cuts, according to corner size, reduce the laser pulse frequency of corner.When cutting smaller angle, reduce laser pulse frequency, make 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 the excessive ablation of wedge angle.
Corresponding for corner angle and laser pulse frequency, can be specifically selected according to actual needs, for example: if corner is more than or equal to 90 degree and is 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 is greater than 30 degree, control program is reduced to laser pulse frequency 85% of settings automatically; If corner is less than 30 degree and is greater than 0 degree, control program is reduced to laser pulse frequency 70% of settings automatically.

Automatically control laser instrument bright dipping fore blow assist gas, after the light of pass, close assist gas.For control program adds code, pre-read function, before carrying out cutting codes, control program reads cutting codes in advance one time, before bright dipping code, automatically adds and blows afloat code, automatically adds the gas code of entering the GATT after black out code; Control laser instrument bright dipping fore blow assist gas, after the light of pass, close assist gas.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, at the vertical direction of the cut surface of workbench, imageing sensor is set, the realtime graphic of cut surface is passed to display, the original position by the Image Adjusting workbench observed by display and monitor in real time cutting process.On the screen of display, show the point of location ruddiness on stainless sheet steel, corresponding adjustment work-table position, accurately positional dissection starting point.Can make like this positioning precision improve, and the use that can save 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 is monitored in real time cutting process.
