Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of processing a material with a first and a second surface by means of a laser beam which for instance by means of a multilens objective is focused in a number of focal points, where said focal points are approximately positioned on a common axis forming an angle with the first surface and are spaced apart.
  • German Auslegeschrift No. 2,71 3,904 discloses a way of processing an article by means of a laser beam, said laser beam being focused in two focal points by means of a multilens objective.
  • This processing method is used for drilling holes, whereby one focused bundle of rays is used for a melting of the surface of the article and the second bundle of rays presents a focal point positioned below the focal point of the first bundle of rays and is used for preheating the area surrounding the location of the article to be melted so as subsequently to be removed by way of evaporation.
  • Such a processing method avoids to a certain degree formation of burrs at the edge of the hole.
  • the lower focal point is, however, not utilized.
  • the second surface of the material is encumbered with problems of an increased amount of adhering slags and a poor cutting quality, which inter alia results in a poor separation of the cut parts and may necessitate a finishing processing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of processing material by means of a laser, which ensures an improved processing quality in connection with thick materials. Furthermore, the expenditure of protecting gases must be low.
  • a method of the above type is according to the invention used for cutting plates, whereby several focal points are utilized for melting/cutting the plate material.
  • the multilens objective has the effect that the total bundle of rays is relatively narrow, whereby the nozzle for protecting gases and consequently the expenditure of said protecting gases can be reduced correspondingly. It is well known that the protecting gases are very important for the quality and the cut.
  • the focal points are positioned at a fixed distance relative to one another and to the first and the second surface.
  • the distance between the head com- prising the optical instruments and the first surface can be increased in such a manner that the focal point adjacent the second surface during the cutting can be caused to be positioned on the first surface, the so-called starting holes thereby being provided in an improved manner.
  • the risk of the optical instrument being damaged by metal sprayings has been reduced.
  • a further advantage is found in connection with ignition, melting and removal of melt and slags by at least one of the focal points being positioned between the first and the second surface, adjacent the second surface or adjacent the first and the second surface, respectively.
  • the focusing optical instruments focus the laser beam in several focal points, the distance of which from the second surface is increased concurrently with an increasing distance of the light from the central axis of the laser beam in such a manner that the central portion of the laser beam is focused in the focal point adjacent the second surface.
  • Fig. 1 a illustrates a laser cutting head with transmittent optical instruments
  • Fig. 1 b illustrates a laser cutting head with reflecting optical instruments
  • Fig. 2a shows a transmittent optical instrument forming three focal points
  • Fig. 2b shows a reflecting optical instrument forming three focal points
  • Fig. 3a illustrates the cutting head of Fig. 1 a at a distance from the sur ⁇ face
  • Fig. 3b ⁇ illustrates the cutting head of Fig. 1 b at a distance from the surface.
  • a plate 6 to be cut by means of a laser is shown.
  • the plate comprises a first surface 8 and a second surface 9.
  • a movable, integrated optics/nozzle system, also called a cutting head 1 0, is provided above the first surface 8 of the plate 6.
  • the cutting head 10 is movable in a plane parallel to the first surface 8 of the material to be cut in, whereby optional shapes can be cut in said material. The latter is known per se and is therefore not discussed in greater detail.
  • the cutting head 1 0 is movable to a predetermined degree perpendicular to the first surface 8 in such a manner that during the cutting it can enter an optimum distance relative to a flow of cutting gas and the focusing of the laser beam 2.
  • the cutting head 1 0 comprises a pressure chamber 3 with an inlet opening 4 allowing a continuous filling of cutting gases into said pressure chamber 3, as well as an outlet opening 5 directing the gas towards the cutting location.
  • the gas used depends on the material to be cut, but typically it is oxygen in connection with ordinary steel to be burnt away, or an inert gas, such as nitrogen, in connection with stainless steel being melt away.
  • the cutting head 1 0 comprises an optical instrument 1.a, 1 b, 21 a, 21 b focusing a laser beam 2 in a number of focal points F F 2 , ,
  • FIGS. 1 a and 1jb are diagrammatic vies of a cutting notch 7, in which the focal point F is positioned.
  • the optical instrument 1 a, 1 b is formed such that the central portion of the instrument, i.e. within d 2 , focuses the central portion of the laser beam 2 in the focal point F 2 adjacent the second surface 9 of the material, whereas the circumferential portion outside d 2 focuses the outer portion of said laser beam 2 in the focal point F 1 adjacent the first surface 8 of the material.
  • the focal point F 1 is placed above the surface 8 in view of the cutting, but it is also possible to place all the focal points F-, , F 2 , ...., F n between the first and the second surface 8, 9.
  • the optical instrument can be structured in many ways.
  • the Figures illu- strate simple embodiments using a lens 1 a or a mirror 1 b.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show embodiments of optical instruments 21 a, 21jb with several focal points F 1 r F 2 , ..., F n , only three being illustrated for the sake of clarity.
  • the focal points of respective concentric portions of the optical instrument 21 a., 21 b are formed such that the focal length decreases concurrently with an increasing distance from the centre.
  • the distance between the entire cutting head 1 0 and the first surface is variable in such a manner that during the starting procedure it can be increased whereby the focal point F 2 ordinarily positioned adjacent the second surface 9 during the cutting can be caused to be positioned on the first surface.
  • the resultingly increased distance between the cutting head 10 and the first surface 8 reduces the risk of sprayings of melt material returning through the nozzle 5 so as to destroy the optical instruments 1 a, 1 b, cf.
  • Figures 3a and 3b where the diagrammatic cutting notch 7 has been maintained for illustrative reasons so as to provide an improved view of the beam passage, but said notch does not, of course, exist before the cutting has been initiated.
  • the embodiments include simple lens members, it is also possible to use more complicated arrangements, such as combinations of lenses which in combination form the desired number of focal points.
