Laser Cutting Gap Correction

Aim of the cutting gap correction is the dimensional accuracy of the lasered object.

The kerf correction is an element of the post-processing with laser cutting, a thermal separation process using a laser. The deviation which is caused by the cutting gap of the laser (≈ 0.004 in) must be compensated side properly before the output, in order to maintain a perfect object measure in the production.

The kerf compensation is comparable to the cutter radius compensation with the difference that the value range is 4/1000 of an inch.

Note: The job preparation with laser cutting gap correction is also possible with OptiScout Prepare. The output is then made with Front-End or Production.

Laser Head

Materials:

Cork, acrylic, Dibond, foam, wood, leather, polycarbonate, polyimide, polyurethane, textile

Practice:

  1. Selection of objects to be cut dimensionally accurate
  2. Definition of the compensation value in the corresponding OptiScout dialog
  3. The laser paths will be traversed optimized (see animation)
