Definitions
- the invention relates to a mirror adjustment device, in particular for laser processing machines.
- a laser processing machine is known from US Pat. No. 5,309,273 A which uses two tiltable and one rotating mirror to direct a laser beam onto a specific processing point of a workpiece.
- the arrangement of the three mirrors is intrinsically complex and requires further complex optical elements, so that the laser processing machine as a whole consists of many complicated parts, which increases the costs for production and maintenance.
- the mirrors of such laser processing machines are partly made of copper and are water-cooled, which also makes the arrangement heavier and more complicated. All mechanical elements must be designed to be correspondingly rigid.
- the object of the invention is to provide a mirror adjustment device which, with a simple structure, allows an exact and rapid adjustment of a mirror to the desired position.
- the solution to this problem according to the invention provides that a mirror is adjustably fastened to a fixed frame and that electric linear motors for the frame are effective between the frame and the mirror Mirror adjustment are arranged, which act on the mirror via control elements.
- the device according to the invention manages with a single mirror, without the need for a complicated gimbal. Rather, the linear movement of several, at least two linear motors can be transferred directly to the mirror.
- a linear motor is characterized by a high positioning force and excellent precision when setting a given position. It therefore has ideal conditions for the intended use.
- Intermediate machine elements, such as gears or other power transmission means can largely be dispensed with. The mechanical play of these machine elements is also automatically eliminated, which greatly improves the precision.
- Machine frame and frame is arranged to act.
- the third linear motor can take on two functions at the same time, namely to move the mirror adjustment device relative to the machine frame and by means of superposition in cooperation to adjust the mirror with the other linear motors.
- one axis of movement can advantageously be saved in many cases.
- the rotors of the linear motors are connected to the mirror via adjusting rods.
- This direct mechanical connection allows a play-free and therefore very precise adjustment and adjustment with a simple design.
- the basic position of the mirror can also be preset in wide angular ranges by appropriate configuration of the lengths of the adjusting rods.
- a mechanical constraint on the adjusting elements is advantageously avoided when the mirror is tilted if the ball joints are accommodated in longitudinal guides arranged in a star shape parallel to the playing surface.
- the mechanical effort can, however, be significantly reduced in that the adjusting rods are designed as elastically deformable adjusting plates.
- the longitudinal guides can be dispensed with.
- the elastic deformation can lead to a systematic error in the deflection of the mirror, which is not always tolerable.
- a controller with a computing unit which is designed to compensate for a systematic error due to a variable elastic bending of the adjusting plates as a function of the deflection.
- the computing unit avoids the error, for example, by the systematic error is added to the calculated target deflection.
- the systematic error can either be measured at the beginning or calculated or entered in a manner known per se in the teach-in method of the control or its computing unit.
- the mirror preferably tiltable
- the adjusting rods are arranged so as to engage the holder.
- the mirror can then be adjusted so that the adjusting elements all have the same deflection in the rest position.
- the steel can then be deflected by the same angle in each direction.
- the ball joints have centers that define a triangular surface, the center of which is arranged in the mirror surface. If the beam is directed towards the center of this triangular surface, the beam impact point is not displaced by the mirror thickness.
- the point of incidence of the beam advantageously remains stationary and the beam length changes advantageously little if the actuating elements have variable deflections, the sum of which is designed to add up to zero.
- a reversal error due to play in the joints can be avoided in a surprisingly simple manner by providing a spring between the mirror and the stator, the force of which is designed to avoid play in the ball joints.
- a tension spring to the frame between the rear of the mirror, preferably in the central axis between the adjusting elements.
- the tension generated in the Ball joints a preload that takes the game out of the joint.
- the frame is provided with a base plate on its " side facing away from the mirror and with a head plate on its side facing the mirror and that the head plate has openings" for the passage of adjusting elements. This measure improves the stability of the entire device.
- a machine frame is provided for fastening the laser and the frame with the mirror relative to a workpiece to be machined.
- the frame can also be adjusted relative to the laser.
- the laser beam can be focused on the workpiece.
- Figure 1 a partial view of a mirror adjustment device according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a section along line II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 a schematic representation of a laser processing machine.
- FIG. 1 shows an electric linear motor 1, which essentially consists of a rotor 4 and a stator 7.
- the stator 7 is fastened to a frame side 11 of a frame 10 which is firmly connected at one end to a head plate 14 extending transversely to the frame side 11 and at its other end to a base plate 15 parallel to the head plates 14.
- a mirror 16 is fastened within a holder 39 at a certain angle, only part of which is shown in FIG.
- the holder 39 is connected via a ball joint 17 to one end of an adjusting plate 18 which protrudes through an opening of the head plate 14, which is not further specified, and is connected at its other end to the rotor 4 of the linear motor 1.
- the direction of movement of the linear motor 1 runs in the direction of the double arrow 20, that is to say parallel to the longitudinal direction of the adjusting plate 18.
- a total of three such linear motors are distributed symmetrically about a central axis 40.
- the ball joint 17 has a center 39 about which the holder 33 pivots.
- a tension spring 43 which is stretched between the mirror or holder 33 to the head plate 14, eliminates any play of the ball joints 17.
- FIG. 2 shows in section the structure of the adjusting device, which consists of three linear motors 1, 2, 3, the three stators 7, 8, 9 of which are attached to three frame sides 11, 12, 13 of the frame 10.
- the frame 10 thus has essentially the shape of an isosceles triangle.
- the three runners 4, 5, 6 are connected to the mirror 16, also not shown, via three adjusting plates 18, 19 (not shown in FIG. 2).
- the direction of movement of the linear motors 1, 2, 3 is perpendicular to the drawing plane in the illustration in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 3 shows part of a machine frame 21 to which two further linear motors 23 and 24 with their respective stators 26 and 27 are attached.
- the laser 31 is connected directly to the machine frame 21.
- the rotor 29 of the linear motor 23 is connected to a lens 32.
- the rotor 30 of the second linear motor 24 is connected to the frame 10 of the adjusting device.
- the computer unit 25 in the control 22 also allows, by superimposing the movements, the desired movement of the mirror 16 only by the interaction of two linear motors between frame 10 and mirror 16 and a linear motor 24 between frame 10 and
- the linear motors 2 and 3 tilt the play 16 about a vertical axis, while the linear motor 24 im Interaction with the other two motors 2 and 3 can tilt the game 16 about a horizontal axis without the reflection point 44 being shifted.
- the third articulation point of the mirror 16 is held relative to the frame 10, but is shifted to the relative machine frame 21 by the linear motor 24.
- the mirror 16 consists of a holder 33 and a mirror plate 34 which is pivotally attached to the holder 33.
- the bracket 33 is over three
- Ball joints 17 are connected to three adjusting plates 18, 19, only two of which are seen in 'Fig. 3
- the mirror plate 34 consists of pure copper, the mirror surface 42 of which has been surface-mirrored.
- a laser beam 35 leaves the laser 31 and initially runs horizontally coaxially to the central axis 40 of the adjusting device, wherein it passes through the lens 32 and falls on the mirror 16.
- the mirror surface 42 of the mirror 16 reflects the laser beam 35 vertically downward onto a workpiece 36.
- the reflection point 44 lies in the triangular surface 41 spanned by the centers 39 of the ball joints 17.
- a controller 22 with a computer unit 25 controls the linear motors 1, 2 and 3 so that the total deflections of the ball joints add up to zero. In this way, the reflection point 44 remains fixed in space.
- the distance between the centers 39 and the central axis 40 changes slightly.
- a systematic error of the adjustment angle of the mirror which arises as a result is compensated for by the computer unit 25.
- the lens 32 By moving the lens 32 by means of the linear motor 23 in the direction of the double arrow 37, the laser beam 35 can be focused on the workpiece 36.
- the position of the focal point 38 can be positioned on the workpiece.
- the focal point 38 can be set and fine-tuned quickly and precisely to any number of predetermined positions on the workpiece 36.
- the focal point can also be displaced in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG. 3.
