Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for determining the bending angle on a bending machine, wherein the bending machine includes an upper tool and a lower tool for reshaping a workpiece by bending along a bending line. One or more measuring arrangements are positioned on the bending machine, which together include at least one illumination device and in each case at least one image acquisition device. Each measuring arrangement is assigned a different surface portion of the workpiece which lies laterally adjacent to the bending line and extends along the bending line. A light pattern is imaged on the workpiece by means of the at least one illumination device of a respective measuring arrangement onto the assigned surface portion. The light pattern contains a plurality of zones which are arranged side by side along the bending line.

Abstract: A control unit for calculating a spatially and time-resolved, combined setpoint data set for control of a laser cutting process includes a measurement data interface for accessing sensor data during the cutting operation, a process interface to a first memory that stores a process model that estimates status data of the laser cutting process and a cutting result, a machine interface to a second memory in which a machine model is stored which represents a kinematic behaviour of the laser cutting head and estimates status data of a movement process and the cutting result thereof, and a processor that executes an algorithm that couples the process model and the machine model via a feed rate value and/or via a nozzle spacing value. The processor accesses the process model and the machine model in order to calculate the spatially and time-resolved, combined setpoint data set with coordinated setpoints.

Abstract: A control unit for determining a dynamic laser beam shape for controlling a laser cutting machine, which is provided with a dynamic beam shaping module for varying the shape of the laser beam. The control unit includes a cutting plan interface, which is configured for receiving a cutting plan, an interface to a shape storage with a stored set of dynamic laser beam shapes, in particular more than two, and a processor which is configured for automatically calculating for each of the cutting segments an allocation to a dynamic laser beam shape of the set of dynamic laser beam shapes, wherein calculating the allocation is based on the property indicator of the workpiece and is specific for the respective cutting segment. The processor is further configured for providing control instructions for controlling the laser cutting machine by applying the determined dynamic laser beams shapes for each cutting segment specifically.
