Definitions
- the preferred technical field concerned by the invention is welding, machining or recharging by LASER beam.
- LASER welding has particularly developed in recent years in the field of joining bare or coated sheets for automotive applications. This process involves gas jets in different ways:
- Nozzles coaxial or lateral to the LASER beam allow the supply of gas at a flow rate of 15 to 30 l / min.
- the role of this gas is to ensure the protection of the liquid metal and of the solidified zone at high temperature, without causing disturbance of the molten bath.
- gas during LASER welding Another role assigned to gas during LASER welding consists in driving out the plasma (metallic vapors and ionized gases) produced by the interaction between the beam and the material. Opaque to radiation, this plasma can absorb up to 70% of the beam energy and considerably reduce penetration. Plasma control therefore makes it possible to weld with increased speed and to obtain an improvement in the appearance of the bead after welding.
- the gas is supplied with a high flow rate via a nozzle of small diameter, of the order of a few millimeters. This is integral with the head comprising the LASER beam, but offset longitudinally behind it in the direction of welding. The nozzle is inclined so that the gas jet coincides with the zone of interaction of the beam.
- these various examples illustrate the fact that the very precise positioning or pointing of the gaseous jet of the offset nozzle with respect to the beam is a determining element for obtaining LASER welded joints of satisfactory quality.
- this pointing is carried out by the following means:
- a metallic wire is inserted, in a more or less stable way, inside the nozzle, in order to materialize the gas jet and its point of impact with respect to the beam.
- the present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned above.
- it makes it possible to visualize in a precise and reproducible manner the impact of a fine jet of fluid, on an area or an object during a welding, machining, recharging operation, in particular by LASER beam.
- the invention relates to a method of pointing a fine jet of fluid over an area or an object, in particular in welding, machining or LASER reloading, this jet being emitted from a nozzle of blowing comprising an ejection channel comprising an end portion of substantially circular section of diameter less than or equal to 5mm, a light source disposed in the axis of the ejection channel upstream of the nozzle in the direction of flow fluid, generating a non-diverging mono or polychromatic light beam, at least one wavelength of which is between 400 and 760 nanometers, coaxial with the ejection channel and propagating inside the channel in the direction d flow of the fluid, according to which, the flow of the fluid being momentarily interrupted, by relatively moving the object or the zone or the light beam, one points the light beam on the object or the zone and one sends the fine jet of fluid on the has area or object.
- the fluid is a gas.
- the fluid contains fine particles.
- the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method according to the invention, comprising a nozzle for blowing a fluid comprising an ejection channel comprising an end portion of substantially circular section of smaller or equal diameter at 5mm, a LASER light source arranged in the axis of the ejection channel upstream of the nozzle in the direction of flow of the fluid flow, generating a non-divergent monochromatic light beam, at least one wavelength of which is between 400 and 760 nanometers, coaxial with the ejection channel and propagating inside the channel in the direction of flow of said fluid, as well as means for supplying fluid to said nozzle.
- the device according to the invention can advantageously have one or more of the following characteristics, alone or in combination:
- the light source is isolated from the fluid jet by a sealed separation -
- the length of the terminal part of the fluid ejection channel is greater than or equal to five times the diameter of the terminal part of the ejection channel
- the device includes an alignment means to ensure the coaxiality of the fluid jet and the light flux.
- the invention also relates to a welding, machining or reloading installation, comprising at least one pointing device according to the invention.
- the welding, machining or reloading head of this welding, machining or reloading installation is integrally connected to a cradle on which is mounted at least one device according to the invention, the cradle being orientable in rotation or in translation so as to precisely point the fluid jet.
- welding, machining or recharging is carried out by LASER beam.
- a set 1 comprising the arrival of the fluid flow - A set 2 comprising a light source 3.
- the radiation emitted by the source intended to be visible by an operator is located at least partially in the spectral range ranging from 400 to
- the light beam is non-divergent, this being obtained for example using a suitable lens known in itself.
- a LASER diode is used with advantage as a light source, in order to obtain a very punctual beam with good visibility over a large depth of field.
- the fluid in the assembly 1 arrives via the conduit 4.
- This fluid can be gaseous, liquid, or composed of several phases, such as for example fine solid particles in suspension in a fluid.
- An ejection channel 10 then directs the fluid jet.
- the diameter of the substantially circular end portion 11 of the ejection channel is less than or equal to 5 millimeters to obtain increased pointing accuracy.
- the length of the terminal part of the ejection channel is preferably greater than 5 times its diameter to ensure the stability of the fluid jet while minimizing turbulence.
- the device can comprise, as shown in FIG. 1, pads 6 and 7 in order to ensure that the sets 1 and 2 are aligned coaxially in a perfect and reproducible manner.
- the whole of the pointing device described above is advantageously mounted on a cradle (known in itself, not shown in Figure 1) connected integrally to the welding head, machining or reloading.
- This cradle is orientable in translation and in rotation so as to easily and precisely adjust the orientation of the light beam and of the gas flow.
- the light beam from the source is oriented approximately towards the target area or object of the fluid jet, the flow of fluid being interrupted at this time.
- the light beam is very precisely pointed at the target area or object.
- the fluid is then ejected, the fine jet of which is thus exactly targeted on the area or the object.
- the invention has a certain number of advantages: allowing a preview of the impact of a very fine fluid jet, the pointing method and installation avoids using jets with a high flow rate of gas which are sometimes expensive, and whose impact can disrupt certain processes.
- the integration of the light source within the fluid nozzle itself ensures high pointing accuracy, and, in the case of welding, protection of this same source in the event of pollution by metallic vapors. Thanks to this pointing accuracy, a substantial reduction in faults and an increase in the efficiency of welding, machining or reloading installations can be obtained.
