FlyCut

FlyCut

Vulcan supports many kinds of specialized cutting technologies. One of these is the FlyCut technology. FlyCut is a technology that can be used to cut thin material with high speed. The FlyCut technology can be activated in the tech tables.

FlyCut is cutting without piercing with constant speed. The piercing is done on the fly and the advantage is that the cutting times of thin sheet metal can noticeably be reduced.

FlyCut is a time-sensitive function and works with a so-called quick output to activate / deactivate the laser. The quick output is written in the DIN program and has a predefined address in the process of the controller. FlyCut uses the first output of the particular output module as default.

Furthermore, the cutting results can be improved distinctly by the delayed activation / deactivation of the laser. This can be achieved through the call of the output signal handler (G222 V7 I=P1302 J=P1303 E0, via. 9400.zyk) and the definition of the delay time in the technology table (LPG ON delay, LPG OFF delay). The FlyCut need to be activated in the “CM” - cutting method, refer above.

Syntax: Q0=1 / Q0=0 (Laser active/inactive)

FlyCut has limited process stability. Cutouts might stay stuck in the grid.
