Height Sensor
The laser head is equipped with a sensor that creates induction through the nozzle assembly and determines the distance to the metal.
FsCUT control boards have 2 systems:
1) their own;
2) BCS100.
Proprietary metal tracking systems have been installed recently.
BCS100 is a separate module that contains a Z-axis control system. It tracks the distance to the metal with an accuracy of one hundredth of a millimeter.
Manufacturers with proprietary software also have their own tracking sensors, such as BODOR or HSG.
The most common on the market is the BCS100 sensor.
Tracking sensor operation principle:
1) When the cutting head descends to the metal sheet at a distance of 10-20 mm, the sensor inside the nozzle assembly catches the induction response signal through the nozzle — capacitance to the metal;
2) From the nozzle assembly, the signal is transmitted to the amplifier through a coaxial optical cable;
3) From the amplifier, the signal arrives at the module (e.g., BCS100) through an information cable, where it is converted to data and transmitted to the computer.
