The application of laser pipe cutting machine manufactured by laser pipe cutting machine manufacturers mainly relies on manual focusing. As laser technology continues to evolve, manual focus will eventually be phased out and replaced by autofocus. The high power laser pipe cutting machine effectively has an automatic focusing function.
However, some would say that the optical path is integrated in the cutting head. Can we simply change the height of the cutting head? When the cutting head is up, focus on the high level, when the cutting head is down, focus on the low level. However, it turns out that it's not so simple.
Laser pipe cutters have a nozzle at the bottom of the cutting head. During the cutting process, the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece (nozzle height) is about 0.5-1.5 mm, which can be regarded as a fixed value, that is, the nozzle height remains unchanged, so it cannot be focused by raising the laser head.
The focal length of the focusing lens is constant, so it is not practical to change the focal length of the focus. Changing the position of the focusing mirror will correspondingly change the main position of the social focus: if the focusing mirror goes down, the focus will go down; When the focusing mirror rises, the focus will rise. This is really a focusing mode. Students can use a control motor technology to drive the focusing mirror up and down, through information to achieve automatic focus.
Another automatic focusing method for laser pipe cutting machines manufactured by laser cutting machine manufacturers is that the front beam enters the focusing lens and is placed in the variable curvature mirror (or adjustable mirror), the divergence Angle of the reflected beam changes, and the focusing position of the mirror curvature changes. The system has auto focus function.
When machining different learning materials and workpieces of different thicknesses, the machine can automatically and quickly adjust the focus to the appropriate position through numerical control at the same time. Therefore, the processing efficiency of the laser pipe cutting machine can be significantly improved, and the perforation time of the thick plate can be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the autofocus function is an indispensable and important function of laser pipe cutting machine manufacturers.
