Flying focus position alteration

TC_FOCUS_OFFSET

Definition

With the TC_FOCUS_OFFSET cycle call-up the focal position setting can be changed by an adjustment value during machining. In this way an optimum focal position setting is possible both for the approach to the contour and for contour machining.

Programming

TC_FOCUS_OFFSET_ON:

  • The adjustment value is read out from the active laser technology table via the parameter "focus offset".

  • The parameter "focus offset" contains positive or negative values in mm.

  • With TC_FOCUS_OFFSET_OFF the adjustment value is deactivated during the machining.

  • The cycle is also deactivated via TC_LASER_OFF, program end, or reset.
