Definitions
- measuring scanners and in particular OCT measuring scanners are increasingly being used as distance-measuring sensors on laser processing devices. These sensors can be used to ensure that laser welding or marking takes place at the desired location.
- the measuring scanner scans the workpiece almost coaxially with the processing laser beam.
- the measuring beam can be deflected on the workpiece independently of the processing laser beam.
- the measured values are evaluated by an image processing device, which enables optical control of the processing process.
- One cause of the change in the optical path length is the geometric change in the path length due to the adjustment of deflection angles of measuring scanner mirrors and/or mirrors of the laser processing optics.
- Another reason for the change in the optical path length of the measuring beam is different glass passage lengths of the measuring beam when the measuring beam is moved through optical elements, for example an F-theta lens. Both causes overlap and lead to measurement errors. For example, if the measuring beam is moved along a line over a flat surface, this line appears to be curved in the image generated by the measuring scanner, although it is straight.
- the measuring beam is deflected by deflection mirrors of the laser processing optics in the entire working space of the laser processing device, this is referred to as a global change in the optical path length.
- the measuring beam is deflected only by the deflection mirror of the measuring scanner in the vicinity of the processing laser beam, the change in the optical path length is referred to as a local change.
- the local change is in the range of a few 100 ⁇ m. A change in this size range represents a problem for measuring systems that are supposed to have a resolution of ⁇ 50 ⁇ m.
- the invention is based on the object of determining the influence of a local optical path length change on the measurement result of a measuring scanner on a laser processing optics eliminate.
- the task is solved by a method for correcting optical path length measurement errors of a measuring scanner on a laser processing optics, whereby the measuring beam of the measuring scanner for distance measurement is coaxially coupled into the processing laser beam and moved laterally in an xy plane over a workpiece , which is characterized in that the distance values measured by the measuring scanner at different scanning points of the workpiece are corrected in the z direction by change values, the change values being obtained from calculated or previously known optical path lengths of the measuring beam at different selection points in the xy plane.
- the task is solved with an image processing device of a laser processing device according to independent claim 9. This correction of the measured values of the measuring scanner can eliminate distortions in the image of the workpiece generated by the measuring scanner.
- the distance data of the workpiece is also accurate to a few micrometers in the z direction.
- the image is corrected directly after the measurement values have been recorded.
- the selection points correspond to different deflection angles of the measuring beam in the measuring scanner and/or in the laser processing optics. They are therefore directly correlated to the positions of deflection mirrors in the measuring scanner and/or in the laser processing optics.
- the change values for the selection points can be stored in an image processing device of a laser processing device.
- the image processing device can contain various, optics-specific correction data sets. If you know the laser processing optics and the measuring scanner used, the corresponding correction data set can be selected and the change values can be taken from it and applied to the measured values.
- Each correction data set contains change values of the optical path length for a large number of angular positions of the deflection mirrors of the laser processing optics and the measuring scanner, whereby these values can be stored in the form of a table.
- the change values can be obtained from a simulation of the optical system formed from the laser processing optics and the measuring scanner by calculating the local change in the optical path length of the measuring beam at several selection points and determining a polynomial from this contains the coordinates of the laser processing optics and the measuring scanner and is used to calculate the optical path length of the measuring beam at the measuring points of the measuring scanner.
- the actual optical path length of the measuring beam at the respective measuring points is calculated during the measurement and the change values for the measured values are determined from this.
- distance data in the z direction at measuring points of the measuring beam that do not correspond to selection points can be corrected by change values that are calculated by interpolation from the change values of the nearest selection points. It is therefore not necessary to use these values for the process variant with stored change values to determine a very large number of points or to determine the polynomial in the second method variant to calculate the local change in the optical path length at a large number of selection points in order to achieve sufficient accuracy of the measured value correction.
- an image of the workpiece generated from the measurement data of the measurement scanner can be corrected by the image processing device using a geometric shear method using the change values in the z direction.
- the shearing of the image can preferably be carried out column by column by shifting each column in the z direction by the change value of the optical path length.
- the optical path length calculation is preferably carried out taking into account the geometric structure of the laser processing optics, the optical elements used in the laser processing optics and the measuring scanner and their materials, that is, taking into account all Pa relevant for the optical path length - rameter.
- 1 a, b schematic representations of a laser processing optics with a measuring scanner to explain a global and local change in the optical path length of a measuring beam
- 2 is a block diagram of a correction of the local change in the optical path length of measured values
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the correction of the local change in the optical path length using the example of a line scan.
- 1 shows schematically a laser processing optics 10 with three deflection mirrors 11, 12 and 13 for a processing laser beam 14 and a measuring scanner 15 with two deflection mirrors 16, 17 for a measuring beam 18.
- the deflection mirror 11 is fixed, while the deflection mirrors 12, 13 are adjustable.
- the measuring beam 18 is coupled coaxially into the processing laser beam 14 via the deflection mirror 11.
- the measuring beam 18 is deflected together with the processing laser beam 14 by the deflection mirror 13 by an angle ⁇ compared to the vertical by adjusting the deflection mirror 13 by an angle ⁇ 1 .
- the measuring beam 18 is deflected by the deflection mirror 16 in the measuring scanner 15 by an angle ⁇ relative to the vertical by adjusting the deflection mirror 16 by an angle ⁇ 1.
- This change is considered local Change in the optical path length and is significantly smaller than the global change in the optical path length and is in the range of 100 ⁇ m.
- the block diagram shows schematically the measuring scanner 15 with a control device 19 for the deflection mirrors 16, 17 for the measuring beam 18 and an image processing device 20.
- the image processing device Device 20 has a correction data set 21 for the optical path length, a computing unit 22 for calculating the corrected measured values and a memory 23 for the corrected measured values.
- a correction data set 21 for the optical path length With the help of the known angular positions ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 of the deflection mirrors 13 and 12 of the laser processing optics 10 and the angular positions ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2 of the deflection mirrors 16 and 17 of the measuring scanner 15, the change values ⁇ 1, ⁇ , ⁇ 2, ⁇ , ⁇ 3, ⁇ Vietnamese the optical path length is read out and applied in the computing unit to the measured values from a memory of a control device 19 of the measuring scanner 15. The corrected measured values resulting from this calculation are then stored in the memory 23 of the image processing device.
- FIG. 3 illustrates this using the example of a line scan by the measuring scanner 15 in the y-direction.
- the image of the line 30 is shown without correction of the measured values of the measuring scanner 15.
- the actually straight line appears curved in the z direction because the change in the optical path length of the measuring beam 18 is not taken into account.
- the curvature is greatest at the end points of line 30, since that is where the measuring beam 18 experiences its greatest deflection.
- 3b illustrates the correction of the measured values recorded by the measuring scanner 15, which in the example shown were determined by the measuring beam 18 at five measuring points M1 to M5 on the line 30.
- the measuring points M1 to M5 are selection points on line 30. At the measuring point M3, the measuring beam 18 does not experience any deflection. The measured value at measuring point M3 is correct, without changing the optical path length, and is not corrected. At the other measuring points M1, M2, M4 and M5, however, the measured values of line 30 in the z direction are determined by the change values ⁇ 1, ⁇ , ⁇ 2, ⁇ , ⁇ 3, ⁇ , ⁇ 4, ⁇ of the optical Path length of the measuring beam 18 corrected. The result is shown in FIG. 3c: after correcting the measured values of line 30, it obtains a straight course according to a straight line 30', as shown in FIG. 3c. The z coordinates of all measuring points M1 to M5 are identical after the correction.
