Much more than a vision : Autonomous laser cutting

Active Speed Control : Sees through the process , regulates the cut
An important milestone on the path to autonomous machines is the newly developed Active Speed Control system for adaptive feed control . The system monitors the kerf through the nozzle , oversees the cutting process , and independently regulates feed speed . It ensures the right feed level for flame and fusion cutting , even in the event of thickness variations in a sheet , or if the sheet has been affected by quality fluctu ations ( i . e . rust or coating remnants ).
