Xianming Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Handheld Remote Control Key Functions

During installation, commissioning, tool alignment, edge finding, and daily production, the remote control handheld device is one of the most frequently used and intuitive tools for operators of fiber laser cutting machines.Xianming Laser fiber cutting machines come equipped with a dedicated remote control handheld, integrating commonly used operational functions to make machine control more flexible, safe, and efficient.

Below is a detailed explanation of the buttons on the remote control handheld.

Machine Operation Control Buttons

▶ Start

Used to start the machine or execute a loaded processing program.

After confirming parameters, workpiece position, and safety status, press this button to quickly enter operational mode.

⏸ Pause

Temporarily pauses machine operation during cutting, commonly used for:

Checking the cutting status, Inspecting the workpiece, Handling unexpected situations, After pausing, the laser cutter maintains its current position.

▶ Resume

In a paused state, press Resume to continue the unfinished cutting program without reloading tasks, ensuring continuous production.

⛔ Stop

Immediately stops machine operation, used for emergency or abnormal situations, effectively preventing misuse or equipment damage.

Axis Movement and Direction Control Buttons

⬆ ⬇ ⬅ ➡ Direction Keys (X/Y Axis)

Control the cutting head movement along the X and Y axes. Common applications include:

Workpiece alignment, Plate positioning, Fine adjustment of the cutting start point

Z+ / Z- (Z Axis Up/Down)

Control the vertical movement of the cutting head, used for:

Adjusting focus height, Tool alignment, Nozzle replacement or inspection

Speed Control Buttons

Fast

Switches to high-speed movement mode, suitable for large-range movement or rapid return operations.

Slow

Switches to low-speed fine-tuning mode, ideal for tool alignment, edge finding, and precise position adjustments to improve operational accuracy.

Zero and Positioning Buttons

Zero

One-key return-to-zero function, bringing all axes to their initial reference positions. Commonly used for:

Initialization after power-on

Pre-processing reference confirmation

Z  / W (Quick Positioning Keys)

Quickly locate specific axes or stations, depending on machine configuration, to:

Return a single axis to zero, Switch working coordinates, Call specific stations

This reduces repetitive operations and improves efficiency.

Auxiliary Processing and Debugging Buttons

Laser

Activates auxiliary red or low-power laser for:

Tool alignment, Cutting start point positioning, Calibration of processing location

Frame

Executes a frame operation, moving the cutting head along the program path without cutting, to verify:

Program path accuracy, Material coverage within the cutting range, Prevents miscuts and material waste.

Dry Run

Runs the program without laser emission or cutting, to check program logic, path, and movement sequence. An important safety step before formal processing.

Edge Seek

Automatically detects the material edge via sensors or system algorithms, quickly completing workpiece positioning, enhancing loading efficiency and positioning accuracy.

Other Functional and Extended Buttons

Blow

Controls auxiliary or cleaning gas flow, keeping the cutting area clean during commissioning or maintenance.

LDC / Fn / K1–K4

Function expansion and customizable buttons. Can be configured for:

Specific function calls, Quick operation commands, System auxiliary functions

Practical Value of Remote Control Operation

With the remote control handheld, operators can:

Perform precise operations from any position around the machine

Observe the cutting head while making real-time adjustments

Reduce unnecessary walking, improving production efficiency

Minimize operational errors, enhancing safety

Conclusion

By using Xianming Laser’s handheld remote control, operators can efficiently and safely manage all functions of the fiber laser cutting machine, fully leveraging the advantages of advanced laser technology in metal processing and industrial manufacturing. This remote not only improves operational convenience but also ensures the stable performance of the laser equipment, providing reliable support for high-precision applications and making every cut accurate, fast, and safe.
