Application example: Laser machining on moving sheet

The application example for laser machining involves a Cartesian machine set-up with a parallel X axis to the conveying direction. Therefore, three machine axes must be configured in the channel. In the case of the X axis, please ensure that the dynamics are set appropriately so that the axis can synchronise with the linear conveyor. The machine workspace and the behaviour on reaching the limit must be configured in the channel and in the X axis.

In this example, the linear conveyor represented by the spindle axis is controlled by the CNC. When the spindle axis speed is positive, the linear conveyor moves in the positive X direction of the machine.

The measuring unit in this example is located exactly at the origin of the machine coordinate system.
