Precision Cutting, Efficient Intelligence – Weihong NcStudio Waterjet Cutting Control System
The Weihong NcStudio waterjet cutting control system encompasses a complete hardware chain including industrial computer, motion control card, Lambda controller, and servo, along with a software environment based on the Windows operating system. The core advantage lies in the manufacturer's provision of a mature and stable integrated hardware and software solution, sparing users from compatibility issues among components from different vendors. At the same time, the system's flexible configuration (bus/non-bus) and support for various file formats and third-party software enable it to adapt to a wide range of applications, from standard cutting to complex five-axis machining.

Core Advantages:
1. Precision Five-Axis Linkage for Arbitrary Complex Surface Machining
The system incorporates an inherent RTCP (Rotational Tool Center Point) algorithm, which automatically corrects the control point to ensure the tool tip always follows the commanded path. It perfectly supports various five-axis cutting head structures, including 90° AB, 45° AB, V-type AB, and AC types, easily handling diverse complex bevels, inlays, and 3D workpiece cutting, achieving precise "point-to-point" cutting.
2. Laser Height Sensing for Tracking Cutting Height:
Laser height sensing is a non-contact pre-cutting height measurement method. Compared to traditional contact-type cylinder height sensing, the laser sensor significantly improves measurement accuracy while minimizing the risk of workpiece damage, ensuring a constant distance between the cutting head and the workpiece surface. It is particularly suitable for slabs or workpieces with 3D curved or irregular surfaces, thereby improving yield rates.
3. Optimized Cutting Processes:
The Weihong NcStudio waterjet cutting control system establishes a comprehensive process optimization system through functions such as dynamic speed control, automatic dual-pressure reversal, waterjet piercing (accelerating thick material penetration), bridging (reducing lift-offs), micro-joint (preventing part fall-off), vertical tool entry, speed model calculator (providing accurate speed references for cutting surface quality, corners, arcs, etc.), corner control, piercing optimization, process parameter group management, cutting speed optimization, bevel and tilt angle editing, tool compensation, and reverse functions. This system comprehensively enhances cutting quality and processing efficiency, reduces operating costs, and is particularly suitable for high-precision, complex contour, and special material cutting applications.
4. Breakpoint and Compensation Functions
The breakpoint and compensation functions ensure processing continuity through breakpoint resume, improve machining accuracy through tool compensation, and enhance process flexibility through reverse functions. These three aspects complement each other, building a complete processing assurance and precision control system. This system not only effectively addresses unexpected situations during production but also fundamentally improves product machining quality and consistency.
