redPOWER QUBE Cased Fiber Laser User Manual
Table 15 Process Cycle Step Attributes
This field is used to reference any of the 50 available
Parameter Sets
Automatic or
manual step
transition
This field sets whether the execution will advance onto the next
Step automatically, or require a manual Step command
Shots or
duration
execution
This field specifies whether the Step duration is measured as a
number of pulses or as a timed duration before its execution
has completed and the Process Cycle is ready to advance onto
the next stage
Number of
shots or time
period for the
step
This field specifies the number of pulses or the time duration of
the Step depending on the execution type field of the Step.
Range 0 to 10000 milliseconds or pulses. Specifying a value of
0 sets the Step to infinite duration, which overrides the
transition type to manual, and outputs the specified Parameter
Set until a manual Step command is received
9.5 Other Settings
9.5.1 Alignment Laser
The alignment laser of the redPOWER Fiber Laser assists in aligning the process tool in the
correct position on the work piece. Red light from a low power laser diode is transmitted to the
work piece using the same delivery fiber as the main laser output.
The alignment laser can be activated at any time by clicking on the diode icon on the Tool Bar.
The state of the redPOWER Fiber Laser is taken into account when activating the alignment
laser, as follows:
Laser OFF state:
The alignment laser will turn on.
Laser STANDBY state:
The alignment laser will turn on.
Laser ON state:
The QUBE Fiber Laser will be emitting, so when the alignment laser is activated its state
will be reported as ON, but its output will be OFF. When the laser enters STANDBY or
OFF, the alignment laser output is automatically switched ON.
Note: If the alignment laser is left ON, it will automatically switch off after 30 minutes.
