CONTROL

The GL.control system is set-up on two computing units. The user software is strictly separated from the NC software. This ensures its real-time capabilities and offers a comfortable control in the well-known windows environment.

SPECIFICATIONS

position set point time	125 μs
set changing time	< 100 μs
interpolation accuracy	0,6 x 10‾⁹ mm
Look Ahead	25000 sets
compensation	grid-, cross-, temperature- and axis errors
transformations	displacement, rotation, RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point)
drive interface	SERCOS III
laser control	position synchronous pulse < 40 nm

INTERPOLATION

The control of the series GL. supports a large number of interpolation types

linear
circle in principal planes and in space
splines contours
etc.

Transformation

Coordinate transformations such as:

translations
rotations
5-axis RTCP

Look Ahead

Foresighted CNC

Dynamic look-ahead buffer providing a foresight of up to 25000 sets
Symmetric position set point filter for soft contour transitions
Monitoring of machine limit values
Monitoring of the programmed geometry

The manual control unit makes it easier to operate the machine in set-up mode and in the optional special operating modes (e.g. GL.om3, GL.om4). It supports the operator in monitoring and parameterizing the laser machine and also provides additional safety functions (e.g. enabling button, emergency stop device).
