Operate X,Y (Z) axes at selected speed with mouse or joystick.
Toggle between three pre-selected speeds. |
| Execute pre-selected incremental moves in X and/or Y at the selected speed. |
| Move to any selected absolute position with respect to a set zero position for X, Y or both simultaneously. |
| Measure X and Y displacements from a set zero position, in µm. |
| Set the current position as zero or a predefined value on the X, Y or both axes.
(Note: The power-on zero position is defined in the .INI file with respect to home switches and can be at the midpoint of X and Y axes or any other position.) |
| At a glance, see the X, Y map position |
Select/change the mask motif with display of relevant Tool Data.
Flash up a motif preview. |
| Define MRA opening, with one click selection of fully open/closed positions.
(Note: For systems fittes with motorised MRA only.) |
| Combine MRA setting with motif selection to obtain and save a combination virtual motif.
(Note: For systems fitted with motif selector and MRA only.) |
| Select demag. Any new optics position can be fine-trimmed and/or automatically added to the LC calibration file.
(Note: MicroMaster only.) |
| Set the laser pulse repetition rate and firing burst length. See laser status at a glance. |
| Fire the laser from the joystick in either burst or continuous mode, and count the shots. |
| Fire the laser synchronously at a selected repetition rate during a continuous, incremental or combined move in X and Y independently.
(The "lazy man's" way to ablate. Very useful for ablating continuous strips without the need to write a part program.) |
Perform a typical automatic milling rate sequence:
- set shot N°
- fire laser
- step in X or Y
- step N°
- fire laser again
for N regular cycles, or set any user values of N° as required (e.g. logarithmic sequence). |
Perform a typical energy search sequence:
- set %T
- fire laser
- step in X or Y
- step %T
- fire laser again
for N regular cycles, or set any user values of N° as required (e.g. logarighmic sequence).
(Note: Systems with motorised energy control only.) |
Perform a typical automatic through focus sequence:
- define a focus step and N (odd number) from a starting position
- back off the focus and move X or Y by (N-1)/2 steps
- fire laser
- step focus and X or Y position
- fire laser again
- repeat until the sequence is complete
- return to the starting point
(Note: Systems with motorised energy control only.) |
| Generate a rectangular array of selected motifs/process parameters. |
| Trepan (generate circular paths of the selected motif/process parameters) with optional inner/outer offset lead-in. |
| Mark laser firing point. |
| Bring any point to the laser firing point by one mouse click. |
| Use Click&Shoot to define and process points, lines or areas by clicking and dragging. |
| Import Gerber, HPGL, Excellon and *.dxf files, and convert them into executable format by adding laser firing instructions, as required, with selection of average shot number in different CAD layers. |
| Optimise the path to drill a set of N holes. |
| Execute process files using pause, continue, abort, repeat functions. |
| Set brightness and contrast of CCTV display, zoom display, save screen image to file. |
| Measure features with µm precision using video cursor. |
| Toggle between and operate Theta/Phi axes selecting speed, increment, etc. |
