    摘要: A method for forming an aperture in a component wall made of metal, the aperture having a diffuser which opens up and outward from a bottom of the diffuser to a first surface of the wall, the method includes the following steps: A) laser machining the wall with a laser which produces a laser beam having a pulse rate and power sufficient to vaporize the metal; B) firing and traversing the laser beam, preferably at an acute angle, across the surface to a predetermined first edge of the diffuser in a single pass starting at a centerline of the diffuser; and C) traversing the laser beam at an increasing rate of speed during the pass so that each beam pulse vaporizes the metal at a laser spot such that successive laser spots substantially overlap each other in decreasing amounts and the pulses nibble out the metal to form a continuous trench below the surface.

    摘要: In a pulse laser drilling process having a machine control for controlling a laser, an apparatus is provided to detect when a hole is drilled through a workpiece. The apparatus detects a laser pulse, where the laser pulse emits a laser light upon drilling impact with the workpiece. A second detection step detects sparks emitted by the workpiece, and a spark signal amplitude representative thereof is produced. The sparks produce visible wavelength light. A filter blocks the laser light and transmits the visible wavelength light. A photosensor associated with the filter senses when the spark signal amplitude diminishes below a predetermined threshold level. An output signal, responsive to the photosensor indicates when a through hole is complete and indicates to the machine control to stop any further laser pulse.

    摘要: A method for forming a slot in a metal component having first and second opposite surfaces utilizes a first laser beam having a pulse rate and power to vaporize the metal. The laser beam is traversed across the first surface at a feed rate so that each beam pulse vaporizes the component metal at a spot. The laser beam pulse rate and feed rate are effective so that successive spots do not substantially overlap each other. The laser beam is traversed in repeated steps in a series of passes so that the spots collectively form a continuous slot to a depth below the first surface. In a subsequent step, a second laser beam is positioned in the slot to drill a hole through a base of the slot, with the second laser beam being repositioned to drill a plurality of the through holes spaced apart from each other along the length of the slot.
