Fast Jump is a simultaneous movement in X/Y and Z-direction between two contours to save time. This function enables the torch to follow a parabolic path from one contour to another contour in rapid motion. Saves time in rapid motion. Lifter Up and down happens during X&Y motion itself.
Advantages of Fast Jump
- Reduced Rapid movement time
- Increased Productivity
- Reduction in Running cost
Cycle time savings and Productivity improvement are indicated based on the comparison of the standard plan and it may vary based on cut profile
Machine Operation: This feature can be enabled simply by clicking Fast jump icon (as shown in the below image) in the controller.
Limitations for Fast Jump Option:
- Fast Jump enabling should be done on the cut profile in the following condition
- Cut profile / Contour element should be less flipping in nature
Safety Consideration for enabling Fast jump features:
- Micro joint is recommended when flipping job used in nesting
- Collision avoidance to be ensured in nesting plans
Note: Fast Jump option is available for FiberBlade Laser Cutting Machines only
