Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to laser machining, and more particularly, to a laser machining system capable of detecting an output characteristic of a laser beam in real time and a laser machining method using the same.
The laser processing system irradiates an object to be processed with a laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator by using an optical system, and performs marking, exposure, etching, punching punching, scribing, dicing, and the like.
The quality of the object to be processed by the laser processing system is determined by the state of the laser beam used for laser processing. That is, in order to keep the quality of the object to be processed constant, it is essential to stably and continuously scan the workpiece with the laser beam having the target optical characteristics. If a laser beam deviating from the target optical characteristic is injected into the workpiece, the physical properties of the workpiece may change as desired due to the shape of the workpiece surface being shaped differently than expected, or due to the temperature or the photoreaction of the workpiece to be.
However, always matching the optical characteristic of the laser beam to the target value is a very difficult problem. The laser beam emitted by current laser beam emitting devices has a very incomplete reliability for its quality. Especially, the frequency draft phenomenon of the laser beam or the power density variable phenomenon greatly reduces the reliability of the emitted laser beam condition.
Due to the limitations of such a laser beam emitting apparatus, defective products are often produced in large quantities when mass-processing a workpiece. The mass production of such defective products causes a great loss to companies that perform laser machining processes. Therefore, there is a demand for a laser processing system capable of measuring the optical characteristics of a laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator in real time and providing the result.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a laser processing system capable of detecting output characteristics of a laser beam in real time and a laser processing method using the same.
In one aspect of the present invention,
A laser source emitting a laser beam;
A beam splitter for dividing the laser beam emitted into the laser light source into a working beam and a measuring beam;
A scanner for irradiating the processing object with the processing beam to perform a processing operation;
A sensor unit for detecting the measurement beam coming from the beam splitter; And
And a control unit for controlling the driving of the laser light source and the scanner and for measuring an output characteristic of the processing beam from the measuring beam detected by the sensor unit.
The sensor unit can detect the output of the measurement beam and the pulse waveform in real time. Such a sensor portion may include, for example, a photo diode.
The control unit may measure at least one of the output of the processing beam and the pulse waveform from the measuring beam detected by the sensor unit. The control unit may determine whether the machining beam is defective by measuring an output characteristic of the machining beam. The control unit may stop the laser machining operation if it determines that the output characteristics of the machining beam are defective. In addition, the controller may generate an alarm for notifying that the output characteristic of the machining beam is defective.
In another aspect,
Emitting a laser beam from a laser light source;
Dividing the laser beam into a processing beam and a measurement beam;
Performing a machining operation for irradiating an object to be processed with the machining beam using a scanner; And
And a controller for controlling driving of the laser light source and the scanner determines whether the machining beam is defective from the measurement beam.
The step of determining whether the machining beam is defective includes the steps of: detecting the measurement beam by a sensor unit; Measuring an output characteristic of the processing beam from the measuring beam detected by the sensor unit; And determining whether the machining beam is defective by the control unit.
The sensor unit can detect the output of the measurement beam and the pulse waveform in real time. The control unit may measure at least one of the output of the processing beam and the pulse waveform from the measuring beam. And stopping the laser machining operation when the controller determines that the output characteristic of the machining beam is defective. The control unit may further include an alarm signal generating unit for generating an alarm signal when the output characteristic of the machining beam is determined to be defective.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a laser beam emitted from a laser light source is divided into a plurality of measurement beams, and then the laser beam is detected through a sensor unit, and the control unit grasps the output characteristics of the processing beam and determines whether the defect is in real time have. Accordingly, when it is determined that the machining beam is defective, the control unit controls the laser beam source to stop the laser machining operation or generate an alarm, thereby preventing defects from occurring due to subsequent machining operations. Further, since the control unit controls the laser light source and the scanner and also determines whether or not the machining beam is defective in real time, a separate control device for detecting the output characteristics of the machining beam and determining whether the machining beam is defective is unnecessary, Can be simplified.
