Dynamic Focus Control (DFC)

Dynamic Focus Control (DFC)

In the below image, when laser power is applied via the cutting unit to the parts the components like the lens heats up and creates a focus shift.

  • DFC is a option to control the focus shift on high laser powers.

    DFC2

  • DFC on/off option is provided as follows.

    DFC1

  • The parameters are set.

    dfc4

  • In the Controls page DFC could be controlled via a switch element.
