TubesT:Optimizaze H - beam flange toolpath

Brief Introduction

There is a connection node of H-beam in Tekla as shown in the figure. The flange of the H-beam has holes very close to the web:

Potential consequences of non-standard tubes:

① Laser beam deviation: The laser beam may strike the web plate of the H-beam, causing incomplete cutting or failure to sever the material

② Slag accumulation: Even if the beam avoids direct contact with the web, molten slag can adhere to the web surface, blocking the cutting seam and preventing full penetration of the work piece.

 

 

1、Usage Methods

① Enable the "Optimize H - beam flange toolpaths" in the "pre - processe". Then, the tool paths of the parts imported later will be automatically processed.

② In the pull - down menu, click "Optimizaze H - beam flange toolpath" to perform batch processing on the parts that have already been imported.

 

 

2、Parameter Introduction

① Optimization Range

The tool paths within Z mm on both sides of the web are considered tool paths close to the web and need to be optimized.

② Optimization Content 

There are two optimization methods in total: offsetting the tool path and adjusting the contour vector. These two methods can be used simultaneously.

a. Tool Path: Move the tool path outward. The outward movement distance can be set.

b. Contour Vector: Tilt the pipe during processing. The rotation angle of the B - axis is the rotation angle of the chuck.

③ Application Range 

The software provides a variety of application ranges:

  • Apply to "all toolpaths" or "selected toolpaths" currently displayed on the interface.
  • Apply to "selected parts" or "all parts" in the part list.
  • Apply to "all nesting results" or "selected nesting results".
