How it’s made – OPC The system allows a quick, simple and accurate beam–tip alignment The machine cut a reference figure The tip touches the edges of the figure The system calculates the difference between the beam theoretical position (perfectly aligned to the tip centre) and the real one The instructions for the operator appear on The CNC screen The operator turns the alignment screws to correct the beam position OPTICAL PRECISION CONTROL (OPC) REAL CUT FIGURE (MISALIGNED BEAM) THEORETICAL FIGURE REAL POSITION (MISALIGNED BEAM) THEORETICAL POSITION INSTRUCTIONS

How it’s made – SHEET POSITION DETECTION SHEET METAL POSITION DETECTION The measuring software allows taking highly accurate (< +/- 0.1mm) references on the sheet metal thanks to the capacitive sensor. If the sheet position is different from the theoretical one, the part program must be adapted to the real position. Thanks to this software, by measuring 3 points on the sheet, the values for the roto-translation of the part-program are automatically calculated.  angle between sheet and X axis Theoretical position Theoretical origin Real origin 1 st point 2 nd point 3 rd point
