A laser processing system including a laser processing unit, a controller controlling the processing unit according to a laser processing program, and a restart preparation apparatus performing a preparation process of the controller to resume the program execution after being suspended. The restart preparation apparatus includes an operating state judging section judging whether an operating state of the processing unit when suspending the program execution is in course of laser processing, and a restart condition specifying section specifying a restart condition of the processing unit when resuming the program execution, from among predetermined conditions, based on a judgment result. The operating state judging section judges that the operating state is in course of laser processing, if a predetermined operation command for processing the workpiece is output from the controller, or predetermined external information for processing the workpiece is input to the controller, at the instant of suspending the program execution.

A machine part (12) is guided along a defined movement path (28) over a workpiece surface (23). The machine part (12) is held at a defined distance (50) from the workpiece surface (23) during this movement. For that purpose, a distance sensor (14) is provided that runs ahead of the machine part (12) with a defined lead (18). A plurality of distance values between the distance sensor (14) and the workpiece surface (23) are determined. A plurality of control values for adjusting the defined distance (50) are determined as a function of the distance values. The defined distance (50) is repeatedly adjusted by means of the control values. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the distance values along the movement path (28) are determined by means of a first grid spacing (46). The control values are determined along the movement path (28) with a second grid spacing (44). The first and the second grid spacings (46, 44) are different.

An apparatus and a method for the creation of a tool. The apparatus and the method allow for dynamic measurement of the tool as it is being created and further allow for the use of positive feedback to increase the likelihood that the produced tool will be structurally similar to a certain model. The apparatus and method further allow sections of varying thickness to be used and provide a technique to create surfaces which further increase the likelihood that the produced tool will be structurally equivalent to a desired and modeled tool.

The present invention relates to a procedure for optimizing the processing of cutting material, such as textiles, leather and technical fabrics and the like, as well as to a device to perform the procedure. The cutting patterns (T1, T2, T3) are first contained in the main memory of a computer (1) and then are selected. The selected patterns are projected on a cutting material on a working surface (AF) in their original size by means of direct laser projection, possibly with different colors, and are also projected on a control panel (4) in a scaled down size. The laser projections of the individual patterns are then interlocked on the cutting material by means of a control unit (5) actuated by an operator (P) positioned next to the cutting material. The patterns are interlocked to optimize use of the cutting material by accounting for the conditions of the cutting material, such as defective spots (F1, F2, F3, F4), and the shape of the cutting material. Once the patterns are finally positioned, data on these positions is then transmitted to a cutting unit, such as an automated cutter (C), by an instruction given by the operator and the citing operation is triggered.

A method controls a machine with redundant actuators according to pattern of disconnected contours, wherein the machine includes redundant actuators by first generating a set of initial trajectories from the pattern. Each initial trajectory corresponds to one of the disconnected contours, or a path from an exit point of one contour and an entry point of a next contour. A set of costs for the set of initial trajectories is determined. A sequence of final trajectories is determined based on the set of costs. Then, a set of commands is generated for controlling the machine according to the sequence of final trajectories.

A laser machining apparatus includes a height controller that performs an approach operation. The height controller uses a first approach speed and a first gain when performing the approach operation in a non-peripheral-edge portion of the workpiece, and uses a second approach speed lower than the first approach speed and a second gain lower than the first gain when performing the approach operation in a peripheral edge portion of the workpiece, and to make the time required when the approach operation is performed in the non-peripheral-edge portion of the workpiece shorter than the time required when the approach operation is performed in the peripheral edge portion of the workpiece.

A set of costs representing operations of a machine along a set of trajectories connecting a set of exit and entry points on contours of a pattern is determined. Each trajectory represents an operation of the machine proceeding from an exit point with an exit velocity to an entry point with an entry velocity according to dynamics of the machine. The set of trajectories includes at least one trajectory representing the operation along a contour with non-zero velocities at corresponding exit and entry points, and at least one trajectory representing the operation between different contours with non-zero velocities at the corresponding exit and entry points. A sequence of the trajectories optimizing a total cost of operation of the machine tracking the pattern is determined based on the costs, and a set of instructions for controlling the machine is determined according to the sequence.

A nesting data generation device generates nesting data for cutting off a part from a work supported by plural support projections. The nesting data generation device includes a nesting data generating unit that generates the nesting data by arranging a geometry of the part on the work. The nesting data generating unit performs, upon arranging the geometry of the part on the work, an avoidance process for avoiding an impediment due to the support projections. According to the nesting data generation device, the part can be prevented from welding on the support projections and the support projections can be prevented from welding upon arranging the geometry on the work by considering positions of the support projections, so that a drop-off and an inclination of the cut part can be prevented.
