Laser cut 5.3 software 25: How to Choose the Right Laser Cutter for Your Needs



Lasercut 5.3 is a dedicated piece of laser cutter control software written by Leetro Automation Co Ltd. It is used to prepare cutting files that are sent to the Leetro MPC6515 controller on board the laser cutters. It has some very basic drawing functions but it becomes most useful when you import dxf files created by other drawing packages, such as the free, cross platform, open source vector editing packageInkscape.


Lasercut provides direct control over the laser cutter, the machine can be driven from the PC without ever having to touch the laser control panel. Lasercut provides functions to simulate the cutting process that is about to occur and estimate how long the cut will take. All the information about a job can be saved and loaded from file making it easy to store and repeat jobs in the future.




laser cut 5.3 software 25



Lasercut will only run on Windows but it has support for multiple versions and flavours; Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, supports 32 bit (X86) and 64 bit (AMD 64) Windows. The minimum specs for the software are low, I am running on a 1.3GHz single core processor, with 2Gb of RAM. The route planning for a complex job can be time-consuming though and relates directly to the processor speed, so a PC with a reasonable spec is recommended.


The software uses different colours to represent different cutting operations. The colours for a drawing are easily modified from within Lasercut and the details of each operation are set by the user. The layers are shown in a list and the order can be adjusted easily. Lasercut is able to import coloured dxf files to rapidly set up these cutting processes. The layers can be used to define different speeds and powers, different orders for cutting items or completely different operations like an etch instead of a cut.


The Lasercut controller takes all this information as a single job and is able to complete them as one single cut. The controlling PC can be disconnected while the laser cutter cuts. jobs can even be transferred to the machine via a usb stick. There is a demo version of the software which allows the program to be run without the USB dongle. While in demo mode files can still be exported to the USB stick but the program will only save local files when the application exits.


Most laser cutter software requires the user to prepare their files on the one computer that currently has the USB dongle. In communal workspaces this can cause a bottle neck on the laser cutter while people wait for the dongle and the laser cutter is not actually in use during most of this time. The demo mode can be used to prepare cutting files without the USB dongle and without being attached to the laser cutter. There are two methods for transferring files from the demo mode to the laser cutter, cutting files can be made that are transferred directly to the laser, or Lasercut files can be saved and opened when the user does have the USB dongle. The method for creating cutting files is much more reliable and it is advisable to do this before attempting to save the Lasercut files.

The 6535 controller is connected to the computer by USB connection. The Computer downloads the project to the 6535 Controller and it does all the work, leaving the computer and operator free to work on the next project. The dedicated Leetro controller has up to 128MB RAM onboard to hold many of your largest projects without re-downloading from your computer. Coolant Flow Check SensorThe laser machine can be equiped with a chiller or water pump and tank.In either case, the coolant must keep the laser tube from over heating.This check sensor ensures the laser will not be allowed to fire without proper coolant flow.Air PumpThe air pump is used for three basic reasons. The primary reason is the push fumes away from the laser's focal lens. This protects the lens from contaminants which could destroy the lens. The second function of the air pump is to push air into the material's kerf as created by the laser beam. Air that is applied to the kerf will remove debris/fumes and allow the laser light to penitrate deeper through the material. The third reason is that the air will help to cool the material. If the laser cut/engraved material stays hot, then it could warp or shrink. This air pump is a diaphram style which does not require oil. Oil or water in the air line could be projected directly onto the focal lens. This air pump has a higher air flow rate and is quieter than other piston stroke designs.Blower / Fan / VacuumThe vacuum blower creates an air flow to remove dust and fumes from the work area of the laser machine. It is important to remove the dust and fumes from the laser engraving areas because dust can settle onto the mirrors or lens. Dust on the mirrors or lens will create a focal point of the laser's heat and soon destroying the optics. The fumes need to be removed from the operator work area because they can be irritating and unhealthy. Limit SwitchesThe limit switches prevent the axis from attempting to go beyond the mechanical limits of the machine. Some machines can be equipped with autofocus sensor which ties into the control board. The sensors for the X and Y axis are non-contact sensors which yeild a more repeatable position over the life of the machine. Leveling PadsThe various models of laser machines can weigh from 300 to more than 1500 pounds. This machine machine is equipped with folding legs and leveling pads to make it easier to move it through doorways and then level the machine on your work space.For more pictures and descriptions, please visit our web site at _JQ1525.html .. the image galleries.
