Key Differences Between CypCut and CypOne and an Overview of Fiber Laser Cutting Software Interfaces

In the modern metal processing industry, fiber laser cutting, advanced laser equipment, and laser technology play a crucial role in achieving high precision and high efficiency. Among them, CypCut and CypOne are two widely used control software systems designed for fiber laser cutting machines. While both are powerful, they differ in interface structure, functionality, and usage scenarios. Below is a concise overview of their differences and the essential interface features.

Software Startup Methods

For machines configured with CypOne:

Simply double-click the CypOne icon on the desktop to launch the software.

For machines configured with CypCut:

Double-click the CypCut icon to open the laser cutting control system.

CypCut Interface Overview

CypCut is commonly used on medium- to high-power fiber laser cutting equipment, offering a more professional interface suitable for complex nesting, drawing, and process settings.

Drawing Board Area

The central black area is the drawing workspace, with a white shaded frame indicating the machine’s cutting area. Grids and rulers adjust dynamically during zooming, providing accurate reference for drawing and path planning.

Left Drawing Toolbar

Used for creating and editing graphics:

Multiple drawing modes: select, node edit, order edit, drag, zoom

Shape insertion tools

Quick functions: center alignment, explode shapes, fillet corners

Ideal for preparing graphics in everyday laser technology workflows.

Right Process Toolbar

This is the key area for setting fiber cutting process parameters:

The Process button opens the main process configuration window

17 color-layer buttons help manage cutting sequence

The white "background layer" is for visual reference only and will not be processed

This section allows operators to efficiently manage all laser cutting layers and processes.

Bottom Information Area

Includes three info windows:

Drawing Window: displays drawing-related prompts

System Window: shows system messages, warnings, and errors

Alarm Window: highlights alarms in red

The status bar displays key data such as laser head coordinates, machining status, mouse position, and control card model.

Right Control Console

Handles machine operation commands:

Coordinate system selection

Manual jogging and positioning

Start / Pause / Stop cutting

Machining options and counters

This section is essential for real-time operation of fiber laser cutting equipment.

Ribbon Toolbar (Placed Last by Your Request)

CypCut utilizes a Ribbon-style toolbar, similar to Microsoft Office. This design groups major functions into clear categories, making the interface easy to navigate even for first-time users.

Key features of the Ribbon toolbar:

Large, clearly grouped functional icons

Menu pages: Home, Draw, Nest, CNC, View

Sub-sections within each page for organized operations

Drop-down options for more advanced settings

During processing, the software automatically switches to the "Processing" page until cutting is completed.

This modern Ribbon design significantly improves workflow efficiency for fiber laser cutting applications.

Conclusion

CypOne is simple and lightweight—ideal for basic laser cutting needs.

CypCut is more comprehensive and powerful—recommended for professional fiber laser cutting operations requiring advanced nesting, editing, and process control.

Both software systems leverage advanced laser technology to deliver efficient, stable, and precise performance for a wide range of laser cutting equipment.
