Abstract
The present invention is directed to implementations of apparatus and methods for controlling a machining system by means of a control program. In some implementations, apparatus include a data storage, in which standard machining parameters are stored to which the control program refers, an adjustment device can be activated in accordance with the invention for adjusting the machining parameters in a preset fashion based on the material properties of a workpiece to be processed and/or a selectable machining target value.
Claims10
An apparatus for controlling a laser machining system using a control program, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a data storage, in which standard laser machining parameters are stored to which the control program refers, and
- an adjustment device that can be activated for adjusting the standard laser machining parameters in a preset fashion based on at least one of material properties of a workpiece to be processed and process safety of laser machining.
A method for controlling a laser machining system using a control program, comprising:
- storing standard laser machining parameters in a data storage;
- accessing the standard laser machining parameters using the control program;
- and
- adjusting, using an adjustment device, the laser machining parameters in a preset fashion based on at least one of the material properties of a workpiece to be processed and process safety of laser machining to provide adjusted laser machining parameters, the control program accessing the adjusted laser machining parameters.
