Need Help!- Disable Height Regulation on a Trumpf Laser?

[CLT-Tech]

Hey Now!
For those familiar with Trumpf Laser Machines, their is a feature known as the DIAS (Digital Altitude Sensing / Capacative Height Regulation). Those who have used the machine know it's an excellent feature, preventing crashes, and following material no matter how bowed or uneven the material may be......

ANYWAY.......

Can someone please tell me how to disable the DIAS on a Trumpf L3030 4kw Laser? I am dealing with a material that the Capacative height regulation sensor cannot see, and my laser cutting head keeps crashing into my material.

Take a look at your “TC_LASER_ON” line. The first number in ( ) is the Laser Method that gives you control over the height regulation ON or OFF. I think you will need to use a “6” if you want it off.

This is great as i have a lot of problems with light gauge stuff stopping the machine when it bounces.

What type of material are you using that the sensor cant see?

Currently I do not have to deal with any material that the sensor can’t see. I only know how to change the settings or make a new tech table that will output the correct methods. Maybe some other Trumpf users will share their information.

Trumpf's DIAS cannot locate Cardboard or Paper. Someone within my company came up with the smashing idea of cutting 1" thk honeycomb cardboard. Let me know your thoughts.

I have cut cardboard once, however it was not that thick. To get the best results I would make sure the table surface is parallel with the head then make sure your material is flat.

Trumpf dont recomend cutting other materials but i have been interested in giving it a go as im often asked if i can

I can keep the material flat, but i still have the problem of height regulation. The cutting head does not see the cardboard, and tries to go right through it.

Can you send me your code?

I realize this post is a little old, but the solution is in the sheet tech. You have to set the proper sheet thickness when you disable the Dias.
