Machine Settings

Key Machine Settings

• Acceleration Match Offset [cnts]: Number of encoder counts to delay firing laser when accelerating. Used for raster quality adjustments.
• Deceleration Match Offset [cnts]: Number of encoder counts to delay firing laser when decelerating. Used for raster quality adjustments.
• Bed Margins [in]: The margins around the bed, in inches that the carriage can travel to. Format is: TOP,LEFT,BOTTOM,RIGHT.
• Bed Size [in]: The size of the bed in the machine in inches. Format is: WIDTH,HEIGHT. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect.
• Disable Table Homing: Setting to disable homing the table when the machine boots. For optimal operation, leave this at a value of 0. A value of 1 will disable table homing. Will take effect after reboot.
• Rotary Encoder [cnts/in]: The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the rotary device. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect.
• X Axis Encoder [cnts/in]: The number of encoder counter per inch of travel for the X Axis. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect. Must recalibrate cameras if this changes.
• Y Axis Encoder [cnts/in]: The number of encoder counter per inch of travel for the Y Axis. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect. Must recalibrate cameras if this changes.
• Home Offset [in]: The offset of the table origin, relative to the X and Y limit switches. Requires “Park Axis” to take effect. Must recalibrate cameras if this changes.
• Joystick Center X: The center X position of the joystick, in joystick units.
• Joystick Center Y: The center Y position of the joystick, in joystick units.
• Joystick Deadzone [%/100]: The percentage of dead zone around the center of the joystick.
• Joystick Limit X: The MIN and MAX limits for the X axis of the joystick, in joystick units. Format is: MIN,MAX.
• Joystick Limit Y: The MIN and MAX limits for the Y axis of the joystick, in joystick units. Format is: MIN,MAX.
• Laser Match [cnts]: Adjustment to synchronize left to right and right to left raster lines. Units are in number of encoder counts.
• Laser Match Offset [cnts]: Offset of the raster data in X. Used to align raster and vector if needed. Units are in number of encoder counts.
• Velocity Match Offset [cnts]: Offset of the raster data proportional to velocity. Units are in number of encoder counts.
• Park Position [in]: The position in inches to park the laser head when the machine is idle. Requires “Park Axis” to take effect.
• Plunger Offset [cnts]: The distance in table encoder counts from the laser zero focus position, to the auto focus plunger.
• Rotary Offset [in]: The offset of the rotary origin, relative to the X and Y limit switches.
• Rotary Table Height [in]: The distance in inches to clear the rotary device.
• Scale [mm/in]: A scale factor to adjust the scale of the X and Y axis. Format is: X,Y. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect. Must recalibrate cameras if this changes.
• Table Switch Locations [cnts]: A list of the locations in which the table switches were located.
• Table Current [A]: The current in Amps to run the table drive.
• Table Resolution [cnts/in]: The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the table. Must “Home Table” if this value is changed.
• CO2 Tickle Duration [us]: The duration of the laser tickle pulse in microseconds.
• CO2 Tickle Frequency [Hz]: The frequency of the laser tickle pulse in hertz.
• CO2 Tickle Holdoff [us]: The duration in which the laser tickle is stalled after a laser pulse in microseconds.
• CO2 Pulse Stretch [us]: The amount to stretch all laser pulses in microseconds.
• Table Focus Offset [cnts]: The distance in table encoder counts from the top crash switch, to the laser focus position.
• RHS Y Skew [cnts]: The number of encoder counts to skew the right hand side of the Y axis after homing. Requires “Home Axis” to take effect.
• Air Assist Delay [s]: The number of seconds to delay turning ON and turning OFF the air assist before and after a job finished. Format is: ON,OFF.
