Opfindelsen angår et skærehoved til bearbejdning, såsom skæring af et materiale ved hjælp af en laserstråle tilført til et trykkammer, der har tilgangsåbning for tilførsel af trykgas og en afgangsdyse for laserstrålen og trykgassen, hvilken trykgas desuden tilføres til bagsiden af det eller de strålingsfokuserende elementer.The invention relates to a cutting head for machining, such as cutting a material by means of a laser beam supplied to a pressure chamber having an inlet opening for supply of pressure gas and an outlet nozzle for the laser beam and the pressure gas, which pressure gas is further supplied to the back of the radiation focusing element (s).
I et skærehoved, der kendes fra britisk patentansøgning nr.In a cutting head known from UK patent application no.
2.064.399 tilføres der trykgas til et kammer, der afgrænses 10 ., af en fokuserende linse og en dyse, idet der derved tilvejebringes en gasudblæsning ved skærestedet, hvorved skæringens kvalitet forbedres. Linsen sætter imidlertid en grænse for, hvor stort trykket i kammeret kan være.2,064,399 pressurized gas is supplied to a chamber delimited by a focusing lens and a nozzle, thereby providing a gas blowout at the cutting site, thereby improving the quality of the cutting. However, the lens limits how large the pressure in the chamber can be.

Pra US-patentskrift nr. 3.696.230 er det kendt at tilføre trykgas til både for- og bagsiden af linserne med henblik på at holde disse rene.Pra US Patent No. 3,696,230 is known to supply compressed gas to both the front and back of the lenses in order to keep them clean.
Ifølge opfindelsen er en tilførsel af trykgas af et højere 20 tryk til både for- og bagsiden af det eller de stralmgsfoku-serende elementer i trykkammeret muliggjort ved, at dette kammer har en lille lysindgangsåbning, hvori den udefra tilførte laserstråle er fokuseret, og ved, at det eller de strålingsfokuserende elementer er anbragt inden i kammeret med trykluftadgang til både for- og bagsiden.According to the invention, a supply of pressurized gas of a higher pressure to both the front and the back of the radiation focusing element (s) in the pressure chamber is made possible by this chamber having a small light input opening, in which the externally supplied laser beam is focused, and at that the radiation focusing element (s) is located within the compressed air access chamber for both the front and rear.
For at undgå at eventuelle reflektioner virker tilbage på laserstrålen kan lysindgangsåbingen med fordel være lille i forhold til afgangsdysens åbning. Derved "ser" laserstråle-30 kilden ikke emnet.To avoid any reflections returning to the laser beam, the light input port may advantageously be small relative to the exit nozzle opening. Thereby, the laser beam source does not "see" the subject.
Opfindelsen skal nærmere forklares i det følgende under henvisning til tegningen, hvor 35 fig. 1 viser et skærehoved ifølge opfindelsen indeholdende et linsedysesystem, og fig. 2 et skærehoved indeholdende et dysesystem med reflekterende fokuseringselementer.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which 1 shows a cutting head according to the invention containing a lens nozzle system; and FIG. 2 shows a cutting head containing a nozzle system with reflective focusing elements.
149266 2149266 2
Det i fig. 1 viste skaerehoved til skæring af et materiale omfatter en linse 2 til fokusering af en laserstråle 1, der 5 derved koncentreres i et brændpunkt. Ved dette brændpunkt passerer laserstrålen en lysindgangsåbning 3 til et trykkammer 4. Derefter udvides laserstrålen 1 atter, indtil den rammer et linsesystem 5, bestående af én eller flere linser. Dette optiske system fokuserer laserstrålen 1 i et nyt brændpunkt 10 umiddelbart uden for trykkammeret 4, idet laserstrålen 1 passerer ud gennem en afgangsdyse 6. Til trykkammeret 4 tilføres der samtidigt trykgas i form af f.eks. oxygen, argon eller almindelig atmosfærisk luft via en tilgangsåbning 7. Umiddelbart under afgangsdysen 6 vil den fokuserede laserstråle i 15 forbindelse med en gasudblæsning fra kammeret 4 kunne anvendes til bearbejdning, såsom skæring i en metalplade, idet pladen forskydes i forhold til afgangsdysen 6 vinkelret på laserstrålens og gasstrålens udbredelsesretning.The FIG. 1, for cutting a material, comprises a lens 2 for focusing a laser beam 1, which is thereby concentrated in a focal point. At this focal point, the laser beam passes a light input port 3 to a pressure chamber 4. Thereafter, the laser beam 1 is expanded again until it hits a lens system 5, consisting of one or more lenses. This optical system focuses the laser beam 1 in a new focal point 10 immediately outside the pressure chamber 4, the laser beam 1 passing out through a discharge nozzle 6. Pressure chamber 4 is simultaneously supplied to the pressure chamber 4, e.g. oxygen, argon or ordinary atmospheric air via an inlet port 7. Immediately below the outlet nozzle 6, the focused laser beam 15 in connection with a gas blowout from the chamber 4 can be used for machining, such as cutting in a metal plate, the plate being displaced relative to the outlet nozzle 6 perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the laser beam and gas beam.
20 Gastilførslen til både for- og bagsiden af det fokuserende linsesystem 5 kan f.eks. ske via en forgrening, idet der eventuelt er en reguleringsanordning i i hvert fald et af grenrørene. Trykket i kammeret 4 kan f.eks. være på 25 atm.The gas supply to both the front and back of the focusing lens system 5 can e.g. This is done via a branch, where there is possibly a control device in at least one of the branch pipes. The pressure in the chamber 4 can e.g. be at 25 atm.
25 En-særlig fordel ved dette meget høje tryk er at man derved opnår en bedre skærekvalitet end hidtil kendt, og samtidigt kan skære med en større hastighed, idet gasudblæsningen fjerner eventuelle smeltedråber og metaldampe.A particular advantage of this very high pressure is that it thereby achieves a better cutting quality than previously known, and at the same time can cut at a greater speed, as the gas exhaust removes any melting drops and metal fumes.
30 Der kan eventuelt være en vis trykregulering, således at der bliver en mindre trykforskel mellem linsen 5's for- og bagside. Eventuelt kan der anvendes to forskellige gasser, f.eks. oxygen til skæresiden og atmosfærisk luft til indgangssiden.Optionally, there may be some pressure regulation so that there is a smaller pressure difference between the front and back of the lens 5. Optionally, two different gases may be used, e.g. oxygen to the cutting side and atmospheric air to the input side.
35 Til store effekter vil der kunne anvendes hulspejle 8, 9, som fokuserende elementer, hvorved effekttab i linser undgås.35 For large effects, hole mirrors 8, 9 can be used as focusing elements, thereby avoiding loss of power in lenses.
Fig. 2 viser et skærehoved indeholdende to hulspejle med passende brændvidder. Laserstrålen 1 fokuseres her af hulspejlet 40 8 gennem en åbning 10 til trykkammeret og passerer ind i tryk-FIG. 2 shows a cutting head containing two hole mirrors with suitable focal lengths. Here, the laser beam 1 is focused by the hole mirror 40 8 through an opening 10 to the pressure chamber and passes into the pressure chamber.
