Specific application of line laser module in large laser cutting machine
1. Real-time calibration and correction of cutting path
Dynamically adjust the position of cutting head: Scan the surface of workpiece with line laser to obtain the contour information of workpiece surface in real time. This information is used to dynamically adjust the position of cutting head to ensure the accuracy and stability of cutting path.

Real-time detection of cutting parameters: The line laser module can detect key parameters such as the width, depth and surface flatness of the cutting in real time. These parameters are important indicators for evaluating cutting quality.
Feedback control system: By feeding back the detection results to the control system, the cutting parameters (such as laser power, cutting speed, etc.) can be adjusted in time to ensure the stability and consistency of the cutting quality. This helps to improve the yield rate and reduce production costs.
