AccuFocus

Product catalog summary
Overview
AccuFocus is a non-contact capacitive height sensing solution designed to maintain optical focal point control in laser cutting applications. It operates as an independent, closed-loop control system that senses capacitance between the gas jet tip and the grounded conductive workpiece, allowing precise contour following and efficient cutting.
System Configurations
The AccuFocus system is modular, allowing for a variety of configurations. Each system includes components such as a motor-driven slide, crash protection device, lens manifold block, gas jet manifold, tip retainer, and gas jet tip. These components are available in numerous styles to meet diverse application needs. Custom designs are also available.
Key Features
  • Tip Stand Off Digital Switch: Sets the distance between the gas jet tip and the workpiece in 0.001" increments.
  • LED Status Lights: Indicate power status, tip contact, and position.
  • Height Sensing Unit: Specifications include ± 15V DC input power and analog ± 8V DC linear output.
  • Cutting Heads: Modular and available in various configurations, with components that can be disassembled for maintenance.
  • Z-Axis Motor Driven Slide: Offers ± 10mm travel with up/down limits and a clutch drive for durability.
  • Crash Protection: Available in 45 different styles to prevent damage during crashes.
Components
  • Cartridge-Style Lens Holder: Allows quick optic removal and replacement without realignment.
  • Gas Manifold Assembly: Distributes gas to cool and clean the focusing lens.
  • Gas Jet Tips and Retainers: Available in various shapes and sizes, with shielded and non-shielded options.
Specifications
  • Crash Protector (CPD0033): 11° maximum deflection, normally closed circuit, opens at 1/2° deflection.
  • Height Sensing Unit (HSU0001): Dimensions are 8" H x 6" W x 4" D.

AccuFocus AccuFocus Operation AccuFocus operates as an independent, closed loop control system. The system maintains optical focal point control by sensing the capacitance between the gas jet tip (cutting tip) and the grounded conductive workpiece. This allows the tip to accurately follow the contours of the workpiece and cut as quickly and efficiently as possible. Available Configurations Modular construction allows a wide variety of AccuFocus systems to be assembled. Each AccuFocus head has a motor driven slide, a crash protection device (opt.), lens manifold block, gas jet manifold, tip retainer...
