摘要:
The laser machining method involves the following steps: A) using a laser source to generate a laser beam at an initial wavelength of between 700 and 1200 nanometers and formed of a succession of laser pulses (10); B) doubling the frequency of part (12) of the laser beam using a non-linear crystal; C) varying the power during each emitted laser pulse (10) so that the power profile over the period of this laser pulse has, in an initial sub-period (T1), a maximum power peak or a pulse part with a maximum power and, in an intermediate sub-period (T2), of duration longer than the initial sub-period, a power lower than said maximum power over all of this intermediate sub-period. The power of the laser is varied in such a way that the maximum power has a value at least twice as high as the mean power over the period of the laser pulse and that the rise time taken to increase to a maximum power from the start of each laser pulse is shorter than 0.3 milliseconds. The machining method relates in particular to the welding of highly reflective metals such as copper, gold, silver or an alloy containing one of these metals. The intention also relates to a laser machining installation for implementing the method described hereinabove.

The invention relates to a method for cutting parts (4) to be machined, using a pulsed laser (6) that outputs a beam (12) of laser pulses. The method is characterised in that a given cut is carried out using a single laser pulse, essentially for forming an opening (14) in the machined part. To this end, the method comprises a quick relative movement between said part and the laser beam (12) with a pulse duration that is sufficiently long, depending on said relative movement, so that the laser beam can run at least on the predetermined length for a given cut. Each laser pulse preferably has an initial power peak for piercing the machined part when the cutting operation is carried out in an inner region of said part.

The invention relates to a laser machining device which is used to pierce holes in the components of a device for injecting a fluid such as a fuel into a combustion engine. The laser resonator (4) is formed by a solid active medium which is optically pumped using laser diodes. The resonator is arranged such as to supply primary pulses in the range of microseconds. Moreover, modulation means (8) are disposed between the resonator and a machining head (24), which are used to modulate the amplitude of the primary pulses supplied by the resonator, such as to produce a train of shorter secondary pulses for each of said pulses.

The present invention relates to laser-machining equipment (2) for etching grooves (8, 9) in a wall of a mechanical part (4), in particular of a crankshaft for an internal combustion engine, said equipment being provided with a fiber-optic laser device (12) and arranged to supply laser pulses. The fiber-optic laser device is controlled so that the laser pulses have a peak power that is greater than 400W and at least twice as great as the maximum average power of the laser device and so that the period of the laser pulses is in the nanosecond range (1 ns to 1000 ns) or lower. According to a first embodiment, the fiber-optic laser device is controlled in a QCW (quasi continuous wave) mode. According to a second, preferred, embodiment, the fiber-optic laser device is controlled in a triggered or Q-switched mode. The operating modes selected enable an increase in the effectiveness of the machining and to obtain a groove having an optimum cross-section, in particular a small mean radius of curvature at the bottom of the groove enabling accurate subsequent fracturing of the mechanical part using the least force.
