Tool Training: Laser Cutter

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-21801" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_161819249_161371377410_1_original-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /> Laser cutters are used to produce precise cuts and engravings with several materials based on 2D vector and raster images. The machines are commonly used for anything from industrial manufacturing to small and intricate art projects. This class will teach how to operate Technocopia’s Full Spectrum laser cutter safely and effectively. Students will learn the process of creating and preparing a simple design in Inkscape, opening it in Retina Engrave, and then operating the laser to produce the cut. We will also learn how to calibrate the auto focus sensor, and discuss what types of materials are appropriate to use with the machine. The software used is Inkscape (<a href="https://inkscape.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://inkscape.org</a>) it's free to download and has many online references. <strong>This tool is available for family use! Any youth between the ages of 12-17 may take this class with a participating adult. </strong>For our student registration form and for class policies, please visit: <a href="https://technocopia.org/tool-training" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://technocopia.org/tool-training</a> PLEASE NOTE: Registration via Eventbrite is preferred to ensure a seat in the class, however, if you wish to pay by cash or check, please notify us immediately at <a href="mailto:info@technocopia.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">info@technocopia.org</a>.

Adaptive Control and Monitoring, a solution to reduce cycle time and increase tool life during the manufacturing process.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-21794" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-18-at-11.27.49-AM-300x68.png" alt="" width="300" height="68" /> Adaptive Control and Monitoring allows for the adjustment of the feed rate, in real time, based on the current cutting conditions. To improve the tool life, reduce the feed when entering the material for every pass without any changes to the program. All while constantly monitoring production to detect overload and broken tools. A software based solution to: ¥ Reduce machine cycle times ¥ Improve tool life ¥ Enable lights out manufacturing <strong>Target Audience</strong>: Machine Builders, Retrofitters, End Users <strong>Presenter</strong>: Stephen Fruehe, Pre-Sales Engineer, Siemens [mep_register url="https://www.ccat.us/events/12-09siemens/"]
