Definitions
- control signals for carrying out the manufacturing process are derived from camera images. Such a control is of interest when the component tolerances are so large that a fixedly entered movement regime of the tool does not lead to a desired machining result.
- the camera image can be the image of a component to be processed or of details of the component, from which the position, orientation and shape of the component or of the component detail to be processed can be derived.
- the detection of these properties technically requires a contrast generation in the camera image, i.e. in the camera image the component or the interesting detail with its contour must stand out clearly from its surroundings.
- illumination systems are usually used which illuminate the object plane of the camera with an illumination beam path which is arranged coaxial or inclined to the imaging beam path of the camera.
- a special feature of laser transmission welding is that the contour to be processed (welding contour) is formed by a contact area through which a component that is transparent for the laser radiation and a component that absorbs the laser radiation are in contact with one another. That is, starting from a light source of a customarily arranged lighting system, the welding contour that is to be captured with the camera lies in the lighting beam path behind the component that is transparent to the laser radiation. This leads at least to a reduction in the contrast of the image, in particular if the surface of the transparent component is uneven and thus has a scattering effect.
- the welding contour must be clearly recognizable in the camera image. This is only possible if the two components to be welded are only in contact along the weld contour. This is the case if the welding contour is formed by an end face formed on the component absorbing the laser radiation, the end face being necessarily delimited by two edges.
- this end face lies in a plane into which a laser beam, which is scanned across the end face, is focused in order to carry out the method.
- Another special feature of laser transmission welding is that while the process is being carried out, the two components to be welded are pressed against one another in a force-locking manner so that they lie against one another without any gaps in the contact area.
- workpiece holders with clamping tools are used with which clamping masks or clamping stamps lying on the transparent component are clamped. So that the necessary mechanical connection of the clamping tool with a clamping mask and / or a clamping plunger does not have a shadowing effect in the imaging beam path, it is known to manufacture this connection from a material that is transparent to the laser radiation and the illumination radiation.
- a simple solution for this is a glass plate which is placed on the clamping mask and / or the clamping ram and which is connected to the clamping tool outside of the imaging beam path.
- a glass plate then has to be anti-reflective not only for the laser radiation, but also for the illumination radiation, which in turn leads to a loss of light for the illumination of the welding contour, in addition to the increased manufacturing effort.
- the term workpiece holder should be understood to mean a device that has a receiving area in which the components of an assembly to be welded are in a force-locking connection with one another along the end face in their position relative to one another and to the camera.
- the end face (hereinafter also the weld contour) can be at different positions on the component and can have a wide variety of shapes, sizes and orientations.
- the welding contour often corresponds to an annular surface, and the shape of the annular surface can be of any desired shape. Additionally or alternatively, the welding contour can be formed by an arrangement of solid surfaces.
- the welding contour is mapped, filling the object field of the camera as much as possible.
- an annular welding contour lies in the edge area of the object field.
- the lighting according to the prior art is preferably carried out in incident light by means of ring lights or bar lights arranged around the component. This can lead to shadows from the workpiece holder. Often is also due to Due to the scattering of the light on the surface of the transparent component, only the surface of the transparent component is depicted and not the end face of the absorbing component, which determines the actual contour for the weld seam to be welded.
- Refraining from welding controlled by the actual contour and controlling the laser according to a preprogrammed target contour leads to a reject rate that only occurs in subsequent process steps, e.g. in the case of a leak test, voltage measurement, and other subsequent processes conceivable for a person skilled in the art / steps is determined.
- the object of the invention is to create a method with which a high-contrast camera image of the end face of the absorbing component of an assembly to be welded with laser transmission welding can be created.
- the object is achieved for a method for generating a camera image from which a welding contour can be derived, along which an assembly is to be welded in an image processing-assisted laser transmission welding process.
- a workpiece holder with a receiving area in which the assembly is fixed is provided.
- the assembly comprises a component which absorbs laser radiation and has an end face which is delimited by at least one edge formed with at least one wall surface of the absorbing component. This end face represents the welding contour.
- a component that is transparent to the laser radiation is arranged on the end face.
- a camera with a camera axis is made available, the camera axis being aligned with the assembly.
- the assembly is illuminated and the camera is triggered. It is essential to the invention for the method that the transparent component is illuminated from a side facing away from the camera.
- At least one illuminating beam is partially directed onto the wall surface, grazing the edge, as a result of which the edge is imaged as a light-dark transition in the camera image and from the relative position of the image of the edge in the Camera image, the relative position of the welding contour adjoining the edge is derived.
- At least one illuminating beam is coupled into the transparent component in such a way that it is passed on within the transparent component, with radiation components of the illuminating beam incident on the adjacent end face being deflected or absorbed in the direction of the camera, whereby in the Camera image the front surface is depicted lighter or darker against a background.
- a sequence of camera images can also be created while the camera is pivoted around a pivot point, with the result that the weld seam is mapped from different directions.
- the task is for a device for generating a camera image, from which a welding contour can be derived, along which an assembly with a component transparent for laser radiation and a component absorbing laser radiation is to be welded in an image processing-assisted laser transmission welding process, whereby the absorbing Component has at least one end face, which is delimited by at least one edge formed with at least one wall surface of the absorbent component and represents the welding contour, and the transparent component rests on the end face, solved.
- the device contains a workpiece holder with a receiving area within which the assembly is fixed, a camera with a camera axis directed at the receiving area, an object plane of the camera lying within the receiving area in which the welding contour of a recorded assembly lies comes, and a lighting unit which has at least one light source emitting an illumination beam.
- the at least one light source is arranged on or in the workpiece holder and directed into the receiving area.
- the at least one light source is arranged below the object plane and aligned inclined to the camera axis, whereby the at least an illumination beam on a recorded assembly grazing at least a portion of the at least one edge, directly illuminated.
- the at least one light source is advantageously arranged aligned, parallel or inclined to the camera axis above the object plane, so that the at least one illuminating beam is scattered in a recorded assembly, grazing at least a portion of the at least one edge, and indirectly illuminating.
- the at least one light source is arranged within the receiving area or if it is arranged outside the receiving area.
- the at least one light source is aligned above the object plane and parallel to the object plane, so that the at least one illuminating beam is coupled into a received assembly, into the transparent component, and impinging on the adjacent end face
- Radiation components are deflected or absorbed in the direction of the camera.

- At least one camera image is generated, from which a welding contour can be derived, along which an assembly 1 is to be welded in an image processing-assisted laser transmission welding process.
- the method begins with the provision of a workpiece holder 4 with a receiving area 4.1 in which the assembly 1 is fixed.
- the assembly 1 comprises a transparent component 2 and an absorbing component 3.
- the absorbing component 3 is largely absorbent for a laser radiation suitable for welding the assembly 1 and has at least one end face 3.1, which is connected by at least one with a wall surface 3.2 of the absorbing component 3 formed edge 3.3 is limited.
- This at least one end face 3.1 represents the welding contour.
- the transparent component 2 rests on the end face 3.1, forming an interface.
- a laser beam is guided over the assembly 1 along the end face 3.1, the transparent component 2 being penetrated by the laser beam, striking the absorbing component 3 and heating it.
- the laser-transparent component 2 is heated by heat conduction in a contact area formed with the absorbent component 3, and a fusion occurs and a weld seam is formed.
- the actual welding is not part of the process described here.
- a camera 5 with a camera axis 5.0 is also made available and with the camera axis 5.0 on the in the workpiece holder 4 fixed assembly 1 directed.
- the entire assembly 1 does not have to be located in the object field of the camera 5.
- a section containing the end face 3.1 and a reference base on the assembly 1 is sufficient in order to be able to derive not only the shape and size of the end face 3.1 but also the position and orientation of the end face 3.1 from the camera image.
- a camera image is then generated with the camera 5, the transparent component 2 being illuminated at the same time from a side facing away from the camera 5. Any light reflected by the transparent component 2 can therefore not fall into the camera 5.
- the camera 5 can also be pivoted about a pivot point 5.2 while it is recording a sequence of camera images.
- the illumination leads to a light-dark transition (contrast jump) along at least one edge 3.3 of the end face 3.1, with the end face 3.1 being able to appear lighter but also darker compared to a background.
- end face 3.1 is a closed surface, it has a circumferential wall surface 3.2 and, accordingly, a circumferential edge 3.3.
- end face 3.1 is an annular surface or the section of an annular surface, it has two circumferential wall surfaces 3.2, which represent an inner and an outer wall surface, and correspondingly two edges 3.3, which in a typically pot-like absorbent component 3 have an inner and an outer edge represent.
- the exemplary embodiments described below for the method are more or less advantageously suitable depending on the shape of the assembly 1 and the shape and position of the end face 3.1 determined thereby.
- the exemplary embodiments described below for a device suitable for carrying out the method are also more or less advantageous depending on the shape of the assembly 1 and the shape and position of the end face 3.1 determined therefrom.
- an assembly 1 to be welded in the form of a so-called pot-lid assembly This can be, for example, a container with a filler neck, as shown in FIGS. 1-3.
- at least one illuminating beam is directed onto the assembly 1 in such a way that it partially strikes one of the at least one wall surface 3.2, grazing one of the at least one edge 3.3.
- the relevant edge 3.3 is shown as a contrast jump in the camera image. Knowing the relative position of the image of the relevant edge 3.3 in the camera image, the relative position of the weld contour adjacent to the edge 3.3 can be derived. If the end faces 3.1, as shown in FIGS.
- the two edges 3.3 have two edges 3.3, it is sufficient if one of the two edges 3.3 is illuminated according to the invention. Since the relevant edge 3.3 delimits the end face 3.1, the same can be deduced for the end face 3.1 from the length, the shape, the position and the orientation.
- this type of lighting can be directed from the outside onto the assembly 1, as shown in FIGS. 1a-1b, the relevant edge 3.3 then being an outer edge and the relevant wall surface 3.2 being an outer wall surface.
- this embodiment of the lighting is advantageous. It is irrelevant here whether the transparent component 2 protrudes beyond the outer edge or is flush with it.
- the illuminating beam only has to be directed onto the assembly 1 in such a way that no components can fall into the camera 5.
- This type of lighting can alternatively also be directed into the interior of the assembly 1 or from the inside, the relevant edge 3.3 then being an inner edge and the relevant wall surface 3.2 being an inner wall surface.
- This embodiment of the lighting is particularly suitable for assemblies 1 which contain a container delimited by the wall surface 3.2 as the absorbing component 3 and in which the container or, as shown in FIGS. 2-3, an opening is present in the covering transparent component 2.
- the interior of the container (cavity) is then illuminated from the inside, in that it is coupled in at least through the opening and diffusely scattered and thus illuminates the cavity of the part of the transparent component 2 that covers the container.
- the cavity acts here like the actual light source.
- At least one illuminating beam is coupled into the transparent component 2 in such a way that it is passed on within the transparent component 2 so that it acts as a secondary light source.
- the radiation components of the illuminating beam impinging on the boundary surface of the absorbing component 3 formed with the end face 3.1 are deflected or absorbed in the direction of the camera 5, whereby the end face 3.1 in the camera image is lighter or darker compared to a background formed by the transparent component 2 is mapped.
- the transparent component 2 acts here like the actual light source.
- a contrast jump arises at the edge 3.3, which here can be an inner and / or outer edge.
- Such an embodiment of the lighting is advantageously suitable for assemblies 1 in which the transparent component 2 is formed by a flat plate, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the lighting is advantageously carried out with a plurality of lighting beams, each of which is emitted by a light source 6, which is directed onto the assembly 1 as a function of the relative position, the shape and the size of the end face 3.1.
- a device basically contains a workpiece holder 4 with a receiving area 4.1 within which the assembly 1 is fixed and a camera 5 with a camera axis 5.0 which is directed at the receiving area 4.1.
- An object plane 5.1 of the camera 5 lies within the recording area 4.1.
- the device also contains a lighting unit with at least one light source 6, which is arranged on or in the workpiece holder 4.
- the at least one light source 6 emits an illuminating beam which is directed into the receiving area 4.1.
- the light source 6 depending on the specific design, it can be a diffusely radiating one Act light source 6, a focusing or a telecentrically radiating light source 6.
- an assembly 1 is arranged in the recording area 4.1 such that the end face 3.1 lies in the object plane of the camera 5.1. Deviations from this have no effect on the image quality as long as they lie within the depth of field of the camera 5.
- the lighting unit contains a plurality of light sources 6, each emitting an illumination beam, which are arranged below the object plane 5.1 and aligned inclined to the camera axis 5.0.
- the individual illuminating beams directly illuminate a portion of the edge 3.3 of a received assembly 1 in a grazing manner.
- the absorbing component 3 shades the illumination rays to a limited extent by the circumferential edge 3.3, so that a contrast jump occurs in the camera image along the edge 3.3.
- the inner edge of the absorbent component 3 can be illuminated as edge 3.3.
- the lighting unit has at least one light source 6 emitting an illuminating beam, which is arranged above the object plane 5.1 in alignment, parallel or inclined to the camera axis 5.0, so that the at least one illuminating beam is scattered in a recorded assembly 1, at least a portion of the relevant edge 3.3 grazing, indirect lighting.
- precisely one light source 6 is arranged on the movement holder 4, radiating in the direction of the camera axis 5.0 into the receiving area 4.1.
- the transparent component 2 for example as shown in FIG. 3, according to a third exemplary embodiment for the device, several light sources 6, forming a ring arrangement, are advantageously inclined to the camera axis 5.0 am Workpiece holder 4 is present above the receiving area 4.1.
- the light sources 6 arranged outside the receiving area 4.1 preferably emit a telecentric illuminating beam in order to couple the light into the cavity of the absorbing component 3 without shading the illuminating beam as possible.
- the light is scattered within the cavity and thus illuminates the transparent component 2, delimited by the edge 3.3, which is the inner edge here.
- a fifth exemplary embodiment, shown in FIG. 5, differs from the aforementioned exemplary embodiments in that the at least one light source 6 of the lighting unit is attached to the workpiece holder 4 in such a way that the telecentric lighting beam emitted is aligned above and parallel to the object plane 5.1, which means the at least one is coupled directly into the transparent component 2.
- a multiplicity of light sources 6 arranged uniformly distributed around the circumferential surface of the transparent component 2 are preferably present.
- the coupled-in illuminating beams are passed on in the transparent component 2 by reflection and scattering or coupled out by refraction, so that the transparent component 2 appears luminous in the camera image as if it were itself.
- a boundary transition formed between the boundary surface on the transparent component 2 and the end face 3.1 differs in its effect on the illumination radiation in contrast to a boundary transition between the transparent component 2 bordering on lust less distracted or decoupled into the absorbent component 3. More precisely, in the boundary transition, between the end face 3.1 and the transparent component 2, the light impinging on the boundary transition formed behaves differently than in a boundary transition to air. Either more or less light can thereby come from the border area with the end face 3.1 in the direction of the camera 5 arrive than from the border areas with air, so that the end face 3.1 appears lighter or darker in the camera image.
- this exemplary embodiment for a device is also suitable for quality control of a weld seam.
- the welded areas of the weld seam interact with the illumination radiation differently than possibly non-welded areas within the weld seam.
