raygeo.ops.state

Machine state tracking for laser cutting.

Tracks the current or intended machine state at any point in a command sequence, including power level (0.0–1.0), air assist on/off, cut speed and travel speed, active laser source UID, pulse frequency, and pulse width. State objects are used by Ops to associate machine parameters with moving commands and to detect rapid (non-power) state changes.

State​

The current state of a laser cutting job.

Tracks power level, air assist, cut/travel speeds, active laser UID, frequency, and pulse width.

active_laser_uid​

active_laser_uid: Optional[str]

UID of the active laser source (if set).

air_assist​

air_assist: bool

Whether air assist is enabled.

cut_speed​

cut_speed: Optional[int]

Cutting speed in mm/s (if set).

frequency​

frequency: Optional[int]

Laser pulse frequency in Hz (if set).

power​

power: float

Laser power level (0.0 – 1.0 typically).

pulse_width​

pulse_width: Optional[float]

Laser pulse width in microseconds (if set).

travel_speed​

travel_speed: Optional[int]

Travel (rapid) speed in mm/s (if set).

allow_rapid_change()​

allow_rapid_change(target: State) -> bool

Check whether the machine can transition from the current state to the target state without a SetPower command.

Returns: True if the change is a rapid (non-power) change.

ParameterTypeDescription
targetStateThe target state to compare against.
