Setup, Vector Settings
Laser
Pierce Start Delay: Sets a delay which will give the laser a chance to penetrate the material to be
cut. This setting should be left at 0 for normal operation. This setting is typically used when cutting
thicker materials and metal cutting applications. The two boxes to the right allow the laser power %
and frequency to be set to a custom level during piercing.
End Delay: Sets a variable pause which will give the laser a chance to ‘catch-up’ with itself at the
end of a cut. This setting should be left at 0 for normal operation. This setting is typically used when
cutting thicker materials and metals.
Height Follower Delay: A delay that allows the height follower to move up or down into position
when starting or finishing a cut.
Laser Curve: Controls the laser power between the Laser % when starting and stopping and the
set laser power. A laser curve of 0 will map the power levels in between linearly. A laser curve of 1
will use a curve with a power of two (a = b ). Default is .9. This feature is used mostly when cutting
partially into materials to give you desired cutting depth in the corners and on straight lines.
Nozzle Air Control: Enable Air 1 and Air 2 during different settings.
Lead in Control
Enable: Turns ON and OFF the Lead-In Control. This will allow you to cut at a slower speed for a set
distance.
Distance: Distance the lead-in is effective for.
Speed: Speed to go for this lead-in distance.
