Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for determining cutting parameters for a laser cutting machine includes the following steps: Receiving at least one machine parameter, at least one process parameter and/or at least one material parameter; outputting properties that can be influenced by the cutting parameters, of a laser-cut edge to be cut by the laser cutting machine; receiving a weighting of the properties; and determining the cutting parameters using the at least one machine parameter, the at least one process parameter, and/or the at least one material parameter and also using the weighted properties. There is also described an apparatus for carrying out the method, in particular an apparatus for machining a workpiece and/or an apparatus which is designed to simulate a production process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An apparatus for machining a workpiece, the apparatus comprising: a graphical user interface configured to receive at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of a machine parameter of a laser cutting machine, a process parameter, and a material parameter; and said graphical user interface being configured to output properties of a laser-cut edge to be cut by the laser cutting machine, with the properties being able to be influenced by cutting parameters of a given cutting process, and to receive a weighting of the properties specifying how important a given property of the laser-cut edge is in relation to other properties, and the weighting being selected by a user via said graphical user interface; said graphical user interface being configured to display a graphical representation of a laser-cut edge in response to receiving the weighting of the properties, the graphical representation being: a photograph of a laser-cut edge matching an expected result of the given cutting process with the cutting parameters; or a graphical representation of the laser-cut edge generated with a data aggregation routine, with the at least one parameter and the cutting parameters forming inputs into the data aggregation routine; and a computing unit configured to determine the cutting parameters using the at least one parameter and using the weighting of the properties.
