Optical Recognition System

Always in the focus

: Laser Cutting of printed foils with optical recognition

Many applications require an accurate cutting oriented to existing fiducial
marks or other material references. As a respond to this need eurolaser
offers an intelligent solution consisting of a CCD camera and analysis
software.

Optical recognition system positions the laser beam according to
fiducial marks
Compensation of shrinkage, stretching and twists in the material
Faster processing speed together with high process reliability and
short machine setup times
Workflow manager for automation of workflow from the import to
the output of job files
High-performance nesting function for optimal area usage and minimised material consumption

Automatic recognition

The CCD camera is installed directly in the processing head and plots the machining process for the workpiece following the defined fudicial marks. This means that printed, woven or embroidered fudicial marks as well as edges or other high-contrast contours can be scanned visually. In this way the actual position and dimensions of the workpiece are recognised exactly and taken into account automatically during further processing.

Compensation of printing inaccuracies

It is now possible to compensate dimensions by means of a target/actual comparison of the print data thanks to the intelligent evaluation of the fudicial marks. This is, of course, effected completely in accordance with the wishes and requirements of the user. The features mentioned help optimisation or adjustment to the required dimensional accuracy. A real plus point for quality assurance.

Selection criteria include:

Linear compensation
Full compensation
Segmental scaling

: Normal offset

: Linear distortion

: Non-linear distortion

: Rotation

Aligning of the cutting contour to the print is also possible in the case of the printing errors shown above.

Process reliability

As a result of continuously rising product requirements, a high degree of process reliability must be reconciled with maximum precision in production. The optical recognition system from eurolaser ensures quality while at the same time enhancing process reliability. Scanning of the workpiece means that any errors during placement are virtually eliminated. So tedious system and setup processes are no longer necessary.
