METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A LASER MACHINING MACHINE

摘要

Methods for configuring laser machining machines (1) include control (2), whereby different types laser machining processes (A, B, C, D) can be executed using the laser machine (1), these processes being respectively controlled by the control apparatus (2) using process parameters. The processes of different types are categorised in a classification (20), in which a respective set of process parameters (21A-24A; 21B-24B; 21C-24C; 22D-24D), that are used during the execution of the respective process (A, B, C, D), is assigned to each process. During a determination and/or changing of a first process parameter (21A-24A) of a first process (A), a process parameter (S1-S6; 21B-24B; 21C-24C; 22D-24D) of a different process (B, C, D) that is contained within classification (20), is automatically determined and/or changed according to a stored rule, as a function of the first process parameter.

1. A method of operating a laser machining machine comprising the steps of:
providing a classification with a plurality of different classes of machining processes, with each of the plurality of different classes including at least one defined machining process; providing a respective plurality of process parameters as respective characteristics for each respective one of the plurality of different classes of machining processes; establishing a value of at least one respective process parameter of a first respective class of machining process; and, automatically establishing a value of at least one respective process parameter of at least a second respective class of machining process based on at least one stored rule and automatically as a function of said establishment of the value of at least one respective process parameter of the first respective class of machining process.
