    Method for operating and controlling a laser device for engraving, marking, inscribing and/or cutting a preferably flat workpiece
    The invention relates to a method for operating and controlling a laser device for engraving, marking, inscribing and/or cutting a preferably flat workpiece, in which at least one beam source in the form of a laser is used in a housing of the laser device, with the workpiece being placed on a processing table is deposited in a defined manner in the processing space of the housing and a laser beam emitted by the beam source is sent via deflection elements to at least one focusing unit, from which the laser beam is deflected in the direction of the workpiece and focused for processing, with the control, in particular the position control of the workpiece in relation to the laser beam, being carried out via a Control software running in a control unit, in which a so-called job is processed, takes place so that the workpiece is preferably line-by-line by adjusting a movement system, such as a carriage on a laser plotter or an angle adjustment on a GalvoMarki erlaser, is processed as described in claim 1.
    In laser devices, in particular laser plotters and galvo marking lasers, the laser light is directed from a laser source via deflection elements to a focusing unit, the laser beam being sharply bundled with a focusing lens and deflected in the direction of the workpiece to be machined. An extremely high power density is created in the focus of the laser beam, with which materials can be melted or vaporized, engraved, marked or inscribed. The processing, in particular the engraving, takes place line by line, for which purpose different laser devices or systems are used or employed.
    On the one hand, a laser plotter is used in which the focusing unit is mounted on a carriage that is preferably adjusted via a belt drive. The focusing unit is also adjustable on the carriage. In this way, by adjusting the carriage and the focusing unit, a machining space, in particular a machining table on which the workpiece is placed, can be completely machined
    will.

    On the other hand, Gravo marking devices are known whose focusing unit also has a focusing lens for bundling the laser beam, with the focusing unit preferably being positioned centrally above the processing space. In order to be able to process the entire processing area with the bundled and focused laser beam, the Gravo marking devices have an adjustable mirror in the focusing unit, which can deflect the laser beam to any position in the defined processing area.
    The main difference between these two device types, i.e. a laser plotter to a Gravo marking laser, lies in the position and movement control for the laser beam and the focusing unit.
    The disadvantage here is that each device type has its own job for processing the workpiece, in which the parameters, such as position or movement data for creating a graphic or text, focus point, power, tool thickness, tool material, etc., are created got to. That is, if a graphic or text is to be engraved on several workpieces both on the laser plotter and with the Gravo marking device, two different jobs must be created for processing, namely a laser plotter job and a Gravo job, which are then the corresponding device types are loaded.
    For job creation, the graphics or texts are usually created on appropriate software, such as Corel Draw, Paint, etc., which are then imported into the respective software for the laser plotter and/or the GravoMarking laser, whereupon the other software is used in the respective software Setting the parameters, such as tool material, tool thickness, etc. must be set so that a job can then be generated that is included in the
    respective laser type is loaded.
    The object of the invention is to provide a method and a laser plotter in which on the one hand the above disadvantages are avoided and on the other hand
    Ease of use is significantly increased.
    The object is solved by the invention.
    The object of the invention is achieved in that a graphic and / or text is created or imported into a central operator software, whereupon in the central
    3/25 20005AT
    15
    20
    25
    30
    To create the job, the parameters "material type, material thickness, engraving depth and effect (cutting through, engraving, deep engraving, or similar)" can be set in the operator software, whereupon a laser type - laser plotter or galvo marking laser - is suggested or determined by the operator software or User the desired laser type - laser plotter or galvo marking laser - is selected, whereupon, after selecting the laser type, an analysis tool determines or calculates and defines the movement parameters of the selected laser type required for generating the graphics and/or text, whereupon the laser power is determined by the analysis tool and speed is calculated and set.
    The advantage here is that the user only has to use one piece of software for the different laser types, so that errors, in particular setting errors, due to different operator functions with different software are prevented. Another major advantage is the user-friendliness, since the user only has to set the smallest settings, such as material, workpiece thickness, engraving depth and, if necessary, the desired laser type and/or lens type, after which all the necessary information or data is created.
    It is also possible for the user to activate both laser types, which means that a separate job is created for each laser type. The user only needs to make the basic settings once again, whereupon the further missing data or parameters are determined and calculated by the central operator software, whereupon a corresponding job is created for further processing. It is also possible that, based on the selected laser or lens, a certain effect that can be achieved with the existing components is suggested, ie the customer selects a special laser and, based on the configuration or equipment, the best possible effect or several Effects are suggested with the processing time, so that the customer can then select the effect he needs
    can choose.
    Another advantage is that an existing or older job can be opened or imported from the central control unit, so that the user can change the laser type, whereupon a new job is created for a different laser type, which is then transferred to the corresponding laser device is loaded. It is possible that with older jobs that were not created with the central control unit,
    from the central control unit some query windows, such as "For which
    4/25 20005AT
    15
    20
    25
    30
    Laser was the job used " are displayed to the user, which the user must answer by entering or selecting given answers.
    Measures are advantageous in which the different beam diameters of the laser types are taken into account in the analysis tool for determining the movement parameters. This prevents a certain section of the workpiece from being processed twice if the diameter of the laser beam is thicker and the movement paths are too close, which would significantly change the engraving depth on the workpiece in this area. This is necessary because the different lenses in the two device types, i.e. in the laser plotter and in the galvo marking laser, produce laser points of different widths, so that narrow paths can overlap if this is not corrected in the analysis tool
    would.
    The measures in which the movement parameters for x-y movement paths of a slide are determined and generated by the analysis tool when the laser type "laser plotter" is selected are advantageous. If necessary, the analysis tool also determines the table height, which can also be changed during the process if necessary
    can.
    However, the measures are also advantageous in which the movement parameters for an angular adjustment of a mirror are determined and generated by an analysis tool when selecting the laser type “galvo marking laser”. At the same time, the focusing of the laser beam is determined and defined, since the focus point also changes due to the changes in length of the laser beam.
    However, measures are also advantageous in which, depending on the laser type, a stored beam diameter, in particular laser point diameter, is used to calculate the movement parameters or the lenses of the selected laser type are queried and the beam diameter is calculated or determined from a database according to the lens used. This ensures that the quality of the processing can be adjusted. This also prevents areas on the workpiece from being irradiated or processed multiple times due to overlapping focusing points.

    The measures in which one or more setting options, such as cutting through, engraving quality, in particular engraving low quality (300dpi) or engraving fine details (600dpi) or engraving with high contrast or engraving photos, deep engraving, are advantageous , Fast Cutting, Precise Cutting, etc. can be selected. This ensures that the user can easily make different quality settings. The required processing time is preferably displayed so that the user can easily see how long the processing will take when the quality is increased. It is therefore possible for the user to reduce the quality and thus the processing time of urgently needed workpieces
    is reduced.
    However, the measures are also advantageous where, when the "Laser type" parameter is activated, a window is opened in which all available laser devices can be seen. This ensures that it can recognize which types of laser are available for processing and can thus select the preferred laser. Furthermore, the user has the option of querying the location of a specific type of laser by simply tapping or activating it. This can be done within the company, for example by specifying the department, the factory building, etc., or externally by means of a geographical representation, in particular Google Maps, with a corresponding window being opened for this purpose. Thus, the user can select the laser that is easiest for him to reach within the company or, for example, the laser that is closest to external lasers.
    The measures in which all available laser devices can be selected in the open window are advantageous. This allows a very specific laser to be selected. The user can thus manually distribute the jobs to the available lasers. It is also possible that only those devices are displayed that were selected during the setting, i.e. that when selecting laser plotter only laser plotters can be displayed and selected, whereas the existing Gravo marking lasers are displayed inactive or are left out completely. Of course it is also possible that with the selected laser type "laser plotter" the user selects a "gravo marking laser" because this would be free, for example, so that a corresponding query appears as to whether the laser type should be changed, whereupon the confirmation of this query analysis tool
    perform a recalculation.

    Measures that display additional information about the individual laser devices, such as status, processing time, workload, etc., are also beneficial. This allows the user to immediately see which laser is free or next
    becomes free.
    The measures in which all available laser devices can be displayed and selected instead of the Laser type parameter are also advantageous. This ensures that special properties of the most diverse lasers can be taken into account by the analysis tool when creating the job.
    Measures in which the central operator software is called up via a higher-level network, in particular in a cloud, are also advantageous, with the available laser types, in particular laser devices, also being or being connected to the cloud. This means that, on the one hand, the central operator software can be easily maintained and kept up to date and, on the other hand, several users can work with the operator software at the same time. This is advantageous if a company operates several locations,
    so that the utilization of the individual lasers can be seen by everyone.
    Measures in which the job created by the central operator software for the various types of lasers is stored in the cloud are also beneficial. This ensures that the job can be easily downloaded for processing from different locations. A wide variety of jobs can be created, for example, at a central location, whereupon after completion
    these are processed by the production sites.
    Measures in which the job can be loaded and processed simultaneously by one or more laser plotters from the same or different locations are also advantageous. This means that large quantities can be produced as quickly as possible by downloading the job several times on different laser devices
    will.
    The measures in which, when the job is changed on a laser plotter, these changes are made available to the other laser plotters processing this job are advantageous
    71725 20005AT
    15
    20

    35
    are provided, in particular are displayed. This means that every user can see which changes have been made where and can also adopt them for themselves
    or not accept.
    Also beneficial are the measures whereby when a laser plotter is connected to the web-based central operator software, all the settings/parameters and location relating to that laser plotter are automatically uploaded and stored in a web-based database. This makes it possible for the operator software, in particular the analysis tool, to take into account the corresponding data of the device when this laser device is selected. In particular, this is done in such a way that when the special laser is selected, the uploaded properties are loaded and taken into account for the calculation. It is also possible for the properties to be loaded directly from the online connected laser for job creation
    will.
    Finally, the measures are advantageous in which, when the job is downloaded from a laser plotter, the security guidelines appropriate to the location are adapted. This means that the job can be downloaded worldwide, since the security guidelines are adapted depending on the location of the download.
    The invention is then described in the form of exemplary embodiments, it being pointed out that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments or solutions illustrated and described.

    As an introduction, it should be noted that in the different embodiments the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers or the same component designations, it being possible for the disclosures contained throughout the description to be applied to the same parts with the same reference numbers or the same component designations. The position information selected in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc., refers to the figure described and must be transferred to the new position in the event of a change of position. Individual features or combinations of features from the exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent inventive solutions.
    1 to 4 show a process sequence for a central operator software 1 that is used for different laser devices or laser devices 2 . The operator software 1 on the one hand for so-called laser plotter 2a and on the other hand
    so-called galvo marking laser 2b used.
    i.e. a user with one and the same operator software 1 creates and uses a job for machining a workpiece.
    The operator software 1 is preferably web-based, so that it is installed in a cloud 4 via the Internet 3 . A user 5,6,7 can access the Internet 3 via a web browser 8 by entering the address, so that the user interface of the operator software 1 is displayed in the browser 8 and corresponding input for creating a job 9,10 for a wide variety of laser devices 2, in particular laser plotter 2a and/or galvo marking laser 2b. Each user 5-7 preferably has their own login, so that a corresponding assignment can be made easily. It is advantageous that several manufacturers or companies 11 can create a company login or company network 11, so that several users 5.6 of a company can access the central operator software 1 individually or simultaneously and all laser devices 2 or laser devices assigned to this company 2 can see. Company-related laser devices 2 are not publicly visible, so that only users 5.6 of this company network who have the appropriate authorization to use these laser devices 2
    9/25 20005AT
    15
    20
    25
    30
    35
    can see and address the central operator software 1. It is of course possible for an authorized user 5.6, in particular an administrator 5, of the company network 11 to make one or more laser devices 2 publicly accessible, so that external users 7 can also send corresponding jobs 9, 10 to these laser devices 2 for
    send a commissioned work.
    As can now be seen from FIG. 1, a user 5-7 connects via the browser 8, which can be opened, for example, on a laptop 8a, computer, tablet 8b or mobile phone 8c, to the Internet 3 and then to the central operator software 1 in the cloud 4 connects. Here a user 5-7 enters a corresponding Internet address, in particular a so-called IP address, so that a connection is established. The user interface of the central user software 1 is then displayed in the browser 8 . The user 5-7 can now use the operator software 1 quite normally, as if it were installed on his component, for example the laptop 8a, the computer, the tablet 8b, or the mobile phone 8c.
    So that the users 5-7 can also select the available laser devices 2 via the central operator software 1, the laser devices 2 are equipped with the appropriate components, in particular a network card, so that by connecting a laser device 2 to the Internet 3, this laser device 2 can be found in the cloud 4 , In particular the central operator software 1, can be registered and configured. The laser devices 2 can be configured in such a way that they are publicly visible
    or are only visible in the company's own network 11 .
    According to the invention, it is now provided that with the central operator software 1 all laser devices 2 of different types, ie all laser plotters 2a and galvo marking lasers 2b, are connected to the operator software 1 and can also be selected. The operator software 1 creates both a job 9 for a laser plotter 2a and a job 10 for a galvo marking laser 2b, whereas the prior art requires two different software for this purpose. This means that the user 5-7 only has to operate one interface in order to create a job 9,10 for one or both laser types.
    For the sake of completeness, it is mentioned that at least one beam source in the form of a laser is used in the laser devices in a housing, with a workpiece 12, 13 being placed in a defined manner on a processing table in the processing space of the housing
    10/25 20005AT
    15
    20
    25
    30
    35
    10
    and a laser beam emitted by the beam source is sent via deflection elements to at least one focusing unit, by which the laser beam is deflected in the direction of the workpiece and focused for processing. The control, in particular the position control of the workpiece in relation to the laser beam, is carried out via control software running in a control unit, in which job 9 or 10 is processed, so that the workpiece is preferably line-by-line by adjusting a movement system, such as a carriage in a laser plotter 2a or an angular adjustment for a galvo marking laser 2b. The two laser devices 2 differ particularly in the movement control and the
    used focusing lens, especially in the beam diameter.
    These key differences are identified when creating the jobs 9.10 of a
    Analysis tool 14 taken into account.
    So that a job 9 and/or 10 can now be created, a user 5-7 only has to create or import his graphic or image or the text and set a few parameters 15 . In order to increase user-friendliness, the user 5-7 only needs four parameters 15 viz
    15a material of the workpiece
    15b thickness of the workpiece
    15c effect for engraving or engraving depth
    15d set the cutting effect, as is shown schematically in FIG. 3 by displaying a screen surface of the operator software. It is therefore possible for untrained or so-called laymen to set the parameters 15. For this purpose, the user 5-7 creates or imports a graphic and/or text in the central operator software 1, whereupon the parameters "material 15a, material thickness 15b, engraving depth or effect 15c and Cutting Effect 15d" can be set. User software 1 then proposes or determines a laser type - laser plotter 2a or galvo marking laser 2b - or the desired laser type - laser plotter or galvo marking laser - is selected by the user, as can be seen in Fig. 4 of an excerpt from the user interface 1a , Whereupon after the selection of the laser type 2 of the analysis tool 14, the movement parameters of the selected laser type 2 required for the generation of graphics and/or text are determined or calculated and determined, whereupon the analysis tool 14 determines the laser power and
    11/25 20005AT
    15
    20
    25

    11
    speed is calculated and set and job 9 or 10 is created. Such a process sequence is shown schematically in FIG. Of course it is possible that the user 5-7 has the possibility to change each parameter 15.
    It is possible for the operator software 1 and/or the analysis tool 14 to access a database 16, in particular a material database, in which further parameters 15 for processing a wide variety of materials are stored. Furthermore, further safety-relevant parameters 15 can be stored in this database 16, which are also taken into account by the analysis tool 14. For this purpose, machine-related data such as lenses used, filter type, etc. are also stored, which are essential for the creation and selection of the laser device 2 . It is of course also possible for such machine-related data to be queried online directly by the analysis tool 14 via the Internet connection from the respective laser devices 2 . In particular, this is used when the user 5-7 selects a specific laser device 2 that the analysis tool 14 accesses when creating and calculating the job 9,10 and queries the corresponding data. The analysis tool 14 also takes into account, among other things, the lenses used in the laser devices 2 and the resulting beam diameter, ie if a laser device 2 is selected and the resolution or quality is too high and cannot be achieved by a beam diameter that is too thick, a message appears , with the note that the selected quality cannot be achieved or another laser device should be selected in order to achieve the quality.
    So you can say that the customer or user 5-7 can handle all the work steps relevant to the creation of a workpiece 13,14 in the central web-based operator software 1, with which he can connect via a browser 8, with no additional software packages are needed. By mapping a holistic system, work steps are optimized on each other and interface inefficiencies are completely eliminated. The laser loading with process and working parameters is possible from a single central contact point namely the Cloud 4. Order data can be managed here and assigned directly to a respective laser or laser device 2 and also started. For this purpose, a job database 17 can be filled directly, in which the created jobs 9, 10 for all laser devices 2, ie for laser plotters 2a and galvo marking lasers 2b, are stored. It is also possible that order data can also be transmitted via various attributes.
    12/25 20005AT

    By integrating the job database 17 in the cloud 4 or by storing the jobs 9,10 in the cloud 4, the job 9,10 for workpiece processing can be accessed from the web-based database 17 or cloud 4 directly from the laser device or be downloaded to the laser device 2, with the location of the laser device 2 or the laser device 2 being determined or queried before the start of the download or during the download, whereupon the applicable guidelines for the security settings and, if necessary, further settings or parameters for the determined location, in particular of the country or region, are determined and the associated parameters, in particular so-called security parameters, are checked in the job 9.10 and adjusted if necessary, ie the jobs 9, 10 in the job database 17 are assigned to the individual laser devices 2, which are consecutive are processed, depending on the processing location according to the prescribed there just guidelines are adjusted. It is thus possible for jobs 9,10 to be downloaded automatically or manually and the user 5-7 no longer has to make any adjustments.
    The jobs 9 , 10 are preferably downloaded manually, since the operator of the laser device 2 usually has to place the workpiece 12 , 13 in the processing space of the laser device 2 . However, if the laser 2 has an automatic feed device and an automatic discharge device, the jobs assigned to it can be performed by the laser
    9.10 independently load and process.
    It is thus possible for the customer or user 5-7 to have the opportunity to prepare his files, i.e. the jobs 9.10, anywhere in the world for the laser 2 and then go to the device and then call them up there and process them immediately. By automatically adapting Job 9.10 to site regulations, all machine safety guidelines are met.
    This makes it possible for the first time that regardless of the laser devices 2 and location in the web-based software 1 or operator software 1 Jobs 9.10 are generated and
    can be exchanged between all possible laser machines 2 or laser devices 2 and locations without additional adjustments by the user 5-7, whereby when changing a laser type, for example from a galvo marking laser 2b to a laser plotter 2a, a recalculation by the analysis tool 14 to adjust the
    Movement parameters is made. This is made possible by an open format
    13/25 20005AT
    15

    of programming called "MIP". This is a text-based command language for Laser 2 in which metadata (number of instructions, control of peripherals such as suction, etc.) + machine commands are included. The exchange of jobs 9,10 between different machine types, i.e. a laser plotter 2a and a Gravo marking laser 2b, is based on the following aspects for the analysis tool 14:
    - a central material database 16 (e.g. the Cloud 4)
    - Absolute parameters and no percentages, as in the prior art
    common
    - A central exchange option for jobs 9, 10 via the cloud 4
    - An intelligence that transforms material parameters between the devices 2
    - Normalization of the devices 2 to each other,
    - As well as the location for the guidelines
    Furthermore, it is possible for the customer or user 5-7 to import his own files, in particular self-created graphics or text or old jobs, into the central web-based operator software 1 . When importing into the laser software or operator software 1, the user 5-7 is automatically and optimally prepared for the laser process and repairs possible damaged areas with regard to the laser process, without any further action by the user. The user 5-7 no longer has to prepare the files manually and in a time-consuming manner. Imported files are checked for possible defective points by the operator software, in particular the analysis tool:
    o Incompletely closed contours where the laser stops unintentionally
    would.
    o Unconnected elements
    o Intersections of geometries
    o Changes in direction of adjacent elements
    o Duplications of identical elements are reduced to a single entity
    o Subgraphics are reduced to a single graphic
    is shortened.
    It can therefore be said that the customer or user 5-7 is provided with a new use which also enables untrained users 5-7 to use it immediately. Laser settings such as laser power or speed

    abstracted to the extent that no explicit basic technical understanding is required for the use of the laser machine 2 . Users or users 5-7 only have to select the material to be processed, the material thickness, effect (desired quality) and the cutting effect in order to determine all other parameters 15 using the analysis tool 14 . For the convenience of the user 5-7, the effects 15c may include the following choices: "engrave fine detail", "engrave with high contrast", "engrave photos", "engrave deeply", "fast cutting", "precise cutting". ", ...".Also it is possible that colors or levels, such as from the prior
    Art known, a desired material effect can be assigned.
    However, the cloud 4 is also used to operate and control a laser device 2 for engraving, marking, inscribing and/or cutting a preferably flat workpiece. The job 9,10 for the workpiece processing is downloaded from a web-based database 17 or cloud 4 directly from the laser device 2 or laser device 1, in particular laser plotter 2a and/or galvo marking laser 2b, whereby before the start of the download or during of the download, the location of the laser is determined or queried, whereupon the applicable guidelines for the security settings and, if necessary, further settings or parameters for the determined location, in particular the country or region, are determined and the associated parameters, in particular so-called security parameters, in the job checked and adjusted if necessary, ie depending on the country or region of the downloaded job 9.10 is automatically adjusted to the applicable guidelines for processing the workpiece 12.13 by a laser, so that the user no longer has to make any adjustments. It turned out to be advantageous that the guidelines determined for the various locations, in particular countries or
    Regions in a web-based database 17 or in the cloud 4 are stored.
    Finally, for the sake of order, it should be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the structure of the engraving process 1 and its components or parts thereof, some are not to scale and/or enlarged and/or reduced and in front
    were only shown schematically.
    Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also form independent, inventive solutions or solutions according to the invention.
