Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
G06F 1900
US Classification:
700166, 700174, 700175, 700165, 700117, 700108, 700160, 700170, 700178, 21912111, 21912155, 21912139, 21912149, 21912144, 21912156
Abstract:
The invention features a centralized control architecture for a closely-coupled plasma arc system, in which the âintelligenceâ of the system is integrated into a single controller. The closely-coupled plasma arc system includes a power source, an automatic process controller and a torch-height controller, where each of these components individually has a closed-loop dynamic relationship with the controller.

Networking Architecture For Thermal Processing System
US Patent:
7709765, May 4, 2010
Filed:
Dec 28, 2005
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
B23K 10/00
US Classification:
21912139, 21912159, 21912148, 21912144
Abstract:
A thermal processing system includes a thermal torch for processing a workpiece, a power supply for providing power to the thermal torch, a positioning system for relatively moving the thermal torch and the workpiece, a controller for controlling the thermal processing system, and a deterministic-based communication network, such as, for example, a network which operates using SERCOS. The deterministic-based communications network connects at least the controller, the power supply, and the positioning system of the thermal processing system together.
Centralized Control Architecture For A Laser Materials Processing System
US Patent:

International Classification:
G06F019/00
US Classification:
700117, 700170, 21912139
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods for monitoring the processing of a workpiece that includes directing an incident laser beam onto the workpiece and using an optical detector for measuring a signal emitted from the workpiece as a result of the incident laser beam. The detector generates at least two signals based upon the optical signal. The method also involves use of a light source monitor in determining workpiece processing quality based upon the quotient of the two outputs as well as a magnitude of one of the two quotients.

21912164, 21912183, 21912173, 21912172, 21912163, 21912167
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a laser beam applied to a workpiece in a processing operation. A laser processing system receives the laser beam that is associated with a beam quality property. The laser processing system adjusts the laser beam to change the beam quality property based on a characteristic of the workpiece, a characteristic of the processing operation, or a combination thereof. The adjusted laser beam can also be delivered to the workpiece.
