Definitions

  • Beam guiding device for guiding an energy beam and manufacturing device for the additive manufacturing of components from a powder material with such a beam guiding device
  • the invention relates to a beam guidance device for guiding an energy beam and a manufacturing device for the additive manufacturing of components from a powder material with such a beam guidance device.
  • a beam guidance device for this purpose to comprise a beam modification element for modifying the energy beam, for example a beam shaping element for shaping in particular a cross section of the energy beam.
  • the energy beam is to be guided along different paths, for example so that the beam modification element only interacts with the energy beam in certain functional states of the beam guiding device
  • complex structures with optomechanical components are typically provided in order to direct the energy beam either along the different paths, for example through the beam modification element or bypassing it of the beam modification element.
  • several beam switches can be provided in order to implement the function described.
  • Such a design is expensive, requires a lot of effort in production and adjustment, and has a robustness that can be improved due to the large number of complex components.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a beam guiding device for guiding an energy beam and a manufacturing device for the additive manufacturing of components from a powder material with such a beam guiding device, the disadvantages mentioned being at least reduced, preferably avoided.
  • the object is achieved in particular by creating a beam guiding device for guiding an energy beam, in particular a laser beam, along a beam path, which has at least one first beam deflection element which is displaceable between a first functional position and a second functional position.
  • the first beam deflection element is arranged in the beam path at a deflection position in the first functional position and is set up to deflect the energy beam - in particular away from the beam path - onto a target beam axis, and to allow the energy beam to propagate further along the beam path in the second functional position .
  • the beam guidance device also has a plurality of second beam deflection elements, which are arranged in the beam path in at least one functional state of the beam guidance device and are set up to return the energy beam coming from the deflection position in the second functional position of the first beam deflection element along the beam path - in particular along a first beam path section to the deflection position and to the target beam axis.
  • the energy beam can either be deflected onto the target beam axis by the first beam deflection element - in particular directly or via at least one further deflection - or can be guided further along the beam path, that is to say along another path, to the target beam axis. Only a single switchable or movable element is required to display the different beam paths.
  • the structure is therefore simple, inexpensive to implement and easy to adjust. At the same time, it is extremely robust due to the avoidance of a large number of complex, switchable elements.
  • the energy beam is returned in a ring shape to the deflection position and thus, as a result, to the target beam axis, in particular in such a way that after deflection by the second beam deflection elements it again hits exactly the imaginary point of impact of the first beam deflection element. This enables precise switching between the two functional positions and thus also between different ones Functional states of the beam guidance device without losing the adjustment of the energy beam to the target beam axis.
  • a beam modification element can be arranged along the beam path in the propagation direction behind the first beam deflection element, so that by switching the first beam deflection element between the first functional position and the second functional position it can be selected whether the energy beam interacts with the beam modification element or not.
  • the energy beam does not interact with the beam modification element in the first functional position of the first beam deflection element, whereas it interacts with the beam modification element in the second functional position of the first beam deflection element.
  • the beam guiding device is in particular set up to guide the energy beam along the beam path in a device for the additive manufacturing of components from a powder material.
  • the first beam deflection element is in particular a beam switching element or a beam switch.
  • every beam deflection element described in the context of the present technical teaching that can be moved between two functional positions - or switched synonymously - is a beam switching element or a beam switch.
  • the first beam deflection element is set up not to deflect the energy beam, in particular not directly, onto the target beam axis in the second functional position.
  • the energy beam is guided onto the target beam axis indirectly, in particular in a ring, by the second beam deflection elements.
  • the energy beam is deflected directly onto the target beam axis by the first beam deflection element in its first functional position.
  • the energy beam is deflected by the first beam deflecting element in the first functional position onto at least one additional beam deflecting element - hereinafter also referred to as the fourth beam deflecting element - whereby it is in turn deflected onto the target beam axis by the at least one additional beam deflecting element.
  • the at least one additional beam deflection element can in turn be switchable and thus in particular designed as a further first beam deflection element, in which case it can then be arranged in particular at a further deflection position.
  • the energy beam can propagate in a constant plane guided by the first beam deflection element and/or the second beam deflection elements; that is, it is only guided in two dimensions or along two Cartesian coordinates. In other words, the entire beam path lies in a single plane. Alternatively, it is possible for the energy beam to propagate at least in some areas along a third Cartesian coordinate. The beam path can therefore extend in particular in three dimensions.
  • the second beam deflection elements are all designed as passive beam guidance elements. This means in particular that none of the second beam deflection elements can be switched or - synonymously - moved between different functional positions. In another embodiment, however, at least one of the second beam deflection elements can be designed to be displaceable, that is to say switchable, between two different functional positions, in particular as a beam switching element or beam switch. Second beam deflection elements designed as passive beam guidance elements are preferably arranged in the beam path in every functional state of the beam guidance device, so in particular they are not selectively moved into the beam path or shifted out of the beam path. An embodiment in which all second beam deflection elements are designed as passive beam guiding elements is therefore structurally very simple, inexpensive and robust.
  • the term “functional position” refers in particular to a spatial position or to an internal state of a beam deflection element.
  • the fact that a beam deflection element is arranged in a functional position means in particular that the beam deflection element has the corresponding functional position.
  • the terms “arrange” and “displace” do not necessarily refer to a spatial displacement, but in particular to switching between the different functional positions; In particular, they can therefore only refer to the change in an internal state without a change in the spatial position; However, in certain embodiments they can also include a spatial shift or even exclusively include a change in the spatial position.
  • the term “functional state” refers in particular to a state of the beam guidance device, which is characterized in particular by a specific propagation path for the energy beam.
  • the beam guidance device can be arranged in a first functional state when the first beam deflection element is arranged in the first functional position.
  • a second functional state of the beam guidance device is assigned to the second functional position of the first beam deflection element.
  • the first and/or second functional position of the first beam deflection element - as explained below - can be assigned further functional states of the beam guidance device. Accordingly, it is possible in particular for the beam guidance device to be arranged in the second functional state when the first beam deflection element is arranged in the second functional position.
  • the second beam deflection elements are all designed as passive beam guidance elements, the beam guidance device is arranged in the second functional state when the first beam deflection element is arranged in the second functional position.

  • the energy beam can be continuous or pulsed, in particular continuous laser radiation or pulsed laser radiation.
  • the first beam deflection element is arranged outside the beam path in the second functional position.
  • the first beam deflection element in particular not arranged at the deflection position, in particular not in the beam path.

  • the first beam deflection element thus remains in the second functional position at the deflection position.
  • the second beam deflection element is not displaced.
  • there is no need for a mechanism that selectively shifts the first beam deflection element into and out of the beam path but rather only a particularly more robust mechanism for controlling or switching an internal state of the first beam deflection element, in particular in order to change its transmission properties.
  • this requires a more complex design of the first beam deflection element with changeable, in particular switchable, transmission properties.
  • At least one first beam modification element is arranged along the beam path - in particular in the propagation direction behind the first beam deflection element.
