Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain and check a laser beam machine without disassembling it and to simplify the work by using an optical axis adjusting mechanism provided to a laser oscillator to detect and adjust an optical axis of visible laser light of the oscillator and a transmission path. CONSTITUTION:A laser light changeover mechanism 7 is set so as to guide the He-Ne laser light to the oscillator 1. Next, the laser light is emitted from an optical axis adjustor 6 and the laser light is made incident on the inside of the oscillator 1 via the transmission path 8, a bend mirror 9 and the laser light changeover mechanism 7. Afterward, the light reflected by the reflected light of the oscillator 1 is allowed to advance in a reverse direction and made incident on the adjustor 6 to correct the deviation of the optical axis. Next, the laser light from the oscillator 1 is emitted from a machining head 2 to correct the deviation with the He-Ne laser light. The efficiency of the work can be increased by this method.

To check and adjust the optical path, first move from the laser oscillator (1) to the processing head (2), as shown in Figures 1 (,) and (b).
) and transmission line (8), and check the optical axis deviation of the laser oscillator (1). This method uses a laser oscillator (
An optical axis adjuster (6) is placed on a height-adjustable pedestal (5) in front of 1). This optical axis adjuster (6) is equipped with a light source that oscillates a laser of visible wavelength with lower output than CO2 laser light, for example, a He-No laser. Therefore, the He--He laser beam from the optical axis adjuster (6) is replaced with a He--Ne laser as in the oscillation embodiment. Therefore, the optical axis of the oscillator (1) is adjusted by a conventionally known method, and the processing head (2) and the transmission line (
8) is attached to the oscillator (1) to detect the deviation of the laser optical path of the transmission system as shown in FIG. 8(b). In this case, the optical axis adjuster (6) is set at the connection part (7) between the oscillation R (1) and the transmission line (8), and the pend mirror (not shown) is installed inside the connection part (7). Through the transmission line (8), the processing head (2) guides the VCHe-Ne laser. To detect the deviation at this time, adjust the optical axis as described above.
□ Laser light is emitted to the transmission line (8), processing head (2)
This is done by checking the deviation between the nine points marked by the c and o2 laser beams and the irradiation position of the He-Ne laser beam. Therefore, the pendomirr-HHe-No laser light and the CO2 laser light installed in the connecting portion (γ) are alternately switched and introduced into the transmission line (8). If there is a positional shift between these two, the transmission line (8
) can be corrected by adjusting the degree of inclination of the pend mirror (4) attached to the mirror.
