myCNC software now allows for a fly cut in laser cutting/engraving when thin materials are involved. The laser is moved over the working material without stopping or braking the machine, but instead rapidly turning the laser on and off without having to split the cutting process into separate contours. This is done without sacrificing precision by synchronizing the cutting and movements commands on the fly, allowing for accurate positioning within a fraction of a second and drastic reduction of machining times.

Unlike many conventional systems which begin to lose precision as the machine speeds go over a few meters/minute mark, the myCNC FlyCut solution allows for precision cuts of up to 0.1 mm at working speeds of up to 100 meters/minute.

The fly-cut features can be accessed through programming the M64/M65 (turn exit ON and OFF) commands, as well as M164/M165 (pulse-width modulation) in your preferred CAM software.
