摘要:
A laser processing device for processing workpieces such as by welding includes a laser processing head and a workpiece clamping claw defining an opening through which the laser beam is focused on the workpiece. Each of the laser processing head and the clamping claw have respective shielding portions and movable relative to each other to selectively form a light-tight housing about a portion of the beam extending between the laser head and the clamping claw.

In a method for determining the focal point or the beam profile of a laser beam, which can be deflected in the x and y directions by a scanner optic or an x-y-movement unit and can be displaced in the z direction by a focusing optic or a z-movement unit, at a plurality of measurement points in the two-dimensional working field or three-dimensional working space of the laser beam. An aperture diaphragm, followed by a detector, is arranged at each measurement point. At each measurement point, for x-y-focal point or beam profile measurements, the laser beam is moved by the scanner optic or the x-y-movement unit in an x-y-grid over the measurement aperture in the aperture diaphragm, and, at each grid point, the laser power is measured by the detector, the scanner axis of the scanner optic or the x-y-movement unit being stationary. For z-focal point measurements, the laser beam is displaced by the focusing optic or the z-movement unit in the z direction within the measurement aperture in the aperture diaphragm. The laser power is measured by the detector at each grid point. The focal point and/or the beam profile of the laser beam is then determined at each measurement point from the measurement values.

A device for beam shaping of a laser beam includes a prism, a polarization rotator, and a thin-film polarizer. The prism is configured to split an incident laser beam into a first beam half and a second beam half. The first beam half is input coupled into the prism. The first beam half enters the prism at a first incidence side arranged at the Brewster angle vis-à-vis the incident laser beam. The first beam half input coupled into the prism is output coupled from the prism at an exit side of the prism at the Brewster angle. The thin-film polarizer is traversed by the first beam half output coupled from the prism. The polarization rotator rotates a polarization of the second beam half. The second beam half is reflected by the thin-film polarizer. The thin-film polarizer superimposes the first beam half and the second beam half.

A method determines translational and/or rotational deviations between the measurement coordinate system of a measurement mirror scanner and the processing coordinate system of a processing mirror scanner. A measurement beam reflected at a workpiece returns on a path of an incident measurement beam and is captured by a spatially resolving measurement sensor to ascertain spatially resolving information of the workpiece. The reflected measurement beam, in a sensor image of the measurement sensor, is imaged onto a previously known image position. This is accomplished by ascertaining a focal position deviation of the processing beam by scanning with the processing beam, evaluating a laser power detected at grid points, fixing the processing mirror scanner, capturing spatially resolving height information of the pinhole diaphragm by the measurement sensor, and determining a translational deviation between the processing and measurement coordinate systems based on the deviation.
