Abstract:
In an embodiment a method for position determination of an object in a spatial area is provided in which the object is illuminated with at least one light beam. The light beam does not cover the complete spatial area and is guided into a part of the spatial area in which the object is present depending on the position of the object. In another aspect a method for measuring a surface is provided.
Abstract:
In an embodiment a method for position determination of an object (25) in a spatial area (28) is provided in which the object (25) is illuminated with at least one light beam (22, 27). The light beam (22, 27) does not cover the complete spatial area (28) and is guided into a part of the spatial area in which the object (25) is present depending on the position of the object (25). In another aspect a method for measuring a surface is provided.
Abstract:
An apparatus for material processing by laser radiation, including a laser source which emits a processing beam, and a beam path for focusing and scanning, the beam path focusing the processing beam into a processing volume and shifting the position of the focus therein. A beam splitting device generates several foci in the processing volume and the beam splitting device splits the processing beam up into a primary beam and at least one secondary beam and leaves the cross section of the beam in a pupil plane of the beam path unchanged during said division and introduces an angle of separation between the primary and secondary beams, so that these beams expand in the beam path in directions which differ by the angle of separation.
