Printer Driver

The Printer Driver is an easy method to immediately execute files when the advanced functionality of the ICARO CUT program is not required.
The Printer Driver works in Corel Draw and it detects the Sei machine as a system printer. Minimum thickness lines are executed in vector mode whereas lines with a different thicknesses and filled areas are executed in raster mode.
Different colours are associated to different work parameters.

CCD

The CCD option includes: digital camera complete with PC control board and integrated control software.
The CCD camera option enables the laser system to locate reference points placed on the material and then rotate and translate the position of the work process in reference to these points.
It is used for cutting pre-printed materials.

This option enables the camera to detect the reference points
(Markers) placed on the material to process and to position the work process in accordance with these points.
It is used for the cutting of pre-printed materials.

Icaro enables the operator to import multiple files to be executed as a single workpiece. Each imported file is maintained as an object. Every object can be composed of multiple contours and each contour can be changed and processed as a single piece of work.
Different colours can be associated with every contour with unique work parameters for each colour. The complete work process can be saved as a unique job file that saves the work parameters with the job.

The entire job parameter set can also be saved as a parameter library for use in other jobs.

List of the functions:

Vector file import formats:
- DXF arcs and lines maintaining the layer name.
- HP/GL arcs and lines or vector with recognizable and configurable scale factor.

File manipulation functions:
-Scale : Resize each individual object with absolute values in percentage or in dynamic mode by using the mouse.
-Rotate: Rotate an object a specific number of degrees with reference to a specified centerpoint.
-Move: Relocates an object on the working surface using relative or absolute coordinates or dynamically with the mouse.
-Align: Aligns two or more objects along a unique axis either vertically or horizontally.
-Delete: Deletes an object or part of an object.
-Enable/ disable: Selects the objects to be processed.
-Divide/ match: Divides a single object into two or more objects or vice versa.
-Flip: Creates either the vertical or horizontal mirror of an object.
-Copy: Copies the selected object.
-Nest: Duplicates the object as defined per the number of lines and columns.
-Fill: Creates a series of parallel lines which fill the enclosed contour.
-Optimisation: Closes open contours, orders the sequence in accordance with the pens, optimises the cutting sequence by reducing the shifting movements, and orders the execution of the internal contours followed by the external contours.
-Contour drive: Enables the selection of the execution sequence manually, to invert the contour work direction, and to add entry and exit points in the contour cutting.
Work functions:
-work simulation;
-Definition of the end work point (*)
-Definition of the clearing position for shifting movements (*)
-Material thickness assignment via software
-Piece meter;
-Assignment of a different vertical position for each pen and/or contour.
-Assignment of different cutting methods ( pulsed, energy mode, power mode).
