Hi, I'm Roman.
Welcome to Nailed It. Today we'll have a look at the smart ways to avoid collisions on your fibre laser. So we've arrived in CADMAN-L, our CAM package for laser, and I've nested these four parts together to demonstrate this feature. So the problem is that we don't want any micro joints because we lose time breaking the parts out and angle grinding the marks away.
We don't want micro joints but of course we don't want collisions either. We have a smart feature for this allowing us to make very large micro joints. As you can see here, we've left a micro joint of 10 mm in length and after cutting all the parts, we will come back to only cut this micro joint. If the part flips at that moment there will be no damage as we don't have to be in this area anymore.
Like I said, I've made very large micro joints, then I can go to machining and have the system calculate automatic machining. We now see that there is no tool path on these 10 mm. All I have to do now is go to modify, cut micro joints after cutting the contours, click OK and now this will be cut after cutting the parts.
Simulation is quick so now we are cutting the parts.
After cutting the last part, we go back to the first part, cut the first micro joint and then all the next ones.
So you see, with just a couple of clicks, we're able to modify the program with smart collision avoidance to make it a lot safer to run. And as you can also see and feel, there is very limited marking on the part, meaning we nailed it.
Thank you for joining us today and see you in the next session.
