摘要:
In marking execution mode, after initialization, a scanning control signal based on predetermined marking data and condition data is sent to a scanning head so that a beam spot of a YAG laser beam scans spirally on the interior of a predetermined first black cell in a two-dimensional bar code marking region on the surface of a workpiece W. After the completion of the spiral scanning on the interior of the first black cell, the beam spot skips over from the scanning end point to a scanning start point of a second black cell adjacent to that end point. Then, the interior of the second black cell is also scanned with the beam spot in a unit plotting pattern similar to the above. Afterward, the same spiral scanning as the above is iteratively made on a third and all subsequent black cells. Upon the completion of the spiral scanning on the last black cell, all the marking actions are complete.

A laser marker marks a workpiece surface with the pattern of a character, figure and/or symbol by laser beam scanning. It is desired to mark the pattern at the correct position on the workpiece surface. To facilitate the mark positioning, a virtual marking test is performed. In an embodiment, before the actual marking, a visible guide beam continuously and repeatedly scans the workpiece surface to form a projected image of the pattern or its domain. In another embodiment, before the actual marking, a visual display superimposes an image of the pattern and/or domain on a monitored image of the workpiece from a monitor camera. An automatic marking pattern generator is provided to automatically determine the character pattern to be marked from the entered character and marking area information.

A method for adapting fuzzy reasoning to a change of a working environment of resistance welding without requiring a changing or updating of membership functions, thereby assuring optimal control and satisfactory weld quality. In an embodiment of the present invention, a welding current I and a change of resistance .DELTA.R across welding electrodes are measured during a welding operation. The number of welding operations N involving the welding electrodes is incremented. After the present welding operation, these values of .DELTA.R, I and N are offset by adding offsetting values .delta. .DELTA.R, .delta.I and .delta.N. Degrees of membership of respective antecedent membership functions are computed for the offset values (.DELTA.R+.delta. .DELTA.R), (I+.delta.I) and (N+.delta.N). Degree of membership of conclusion membership function of each control rule is computed from degrees of membership of its antecedent membership functions. Then degrees of membership of conclusion membership functions U, S and D is composed. From the composed degree of membership, an operation value i.e., percent change of preselected welding current is computed by the center-of-gravity defuzzification method. Finally, the preselected value of the welding current is corrected by using the percent change. The corrected preselected welding current is then used for the next welding operation.

The optical fiber connector is characterized by a cylindrical and ceramic ferrule having a center-axial bore of inner diameter allowing for concentrical insertion of an optical fiber depending upon outer diameter of said optical fiber deprived of its covering layer, and having outer surface coaxial with said center-axial bore, said ferrule being fixed in the connector body of said connector so as to project from said connector body by a predetermined length. Positioning between optical fiber coaxially held in ferrule and corresponding lens unit becomes easier, thereby to have high-power laser beams positively focused on the end surface of the optical fiber and to prevent burning damages of components of the optical fiber connector. Further, once the positioning between lens units and optical fiber has been carried out, any later positioning can be omitted.

A method for controlling resistance welding adaptively optimizes a set value of welding current for the next welding operation by inference from monitored signals of the present welding operation. In an embodiment, a welding current I and a change of resistance .DELTA.R across welding electrodes are measured during a welding operation. The number of welding operations N involving the welding electrodes is incremented. After the present welding operation, these values of .DELTA.R, I and N are mapped into compatibility degrees of respective antecedent membership functions. Compatibility degree of conclusion membership function of each control rule is computed from its antecedent membership function compatibility degrees. Then compatibility degree of conclusion membership functions U, S and D is composed. From the composed compatibility degree, an operation value i.e., percent change of set welding current is computed by the center of gravity defuzzification method. Finally, using the percent change, the set value of welding current is corrected. The corrected set welding current is used for the next welding operation.

A diffusion reflector is formed of mica ceramics or fluorine plastics containing barium sulfate, on the surface of which gold or silver is vapor deposited to enhance a diffusion reflectance. A reflective cylinder is formed from said diffusion reflector, and laser rods and lamps are arranged in an internal space of the reflective cylinder to form a solid laser device. Thereby, light can be diffused without focussing light within the reflective cylinder, and the laser rods can be uniformly excited.

A laser welding process of the present invention comprises the steps of allowing a laser beam outputted from a laser beam generator to enter into an optical fiber through a light-introducing optical unit, and applying the laser beam exiting from the optical fiber to a weld zone through a light-delivering optical unit. The laser welding process is characterized in that the optical fiber has a core diameter set to be within 100 μm, a numeral aperture value for entrance of light into the optical fiber is set to be equal to or smaller than 0.05, a numeral aperture value for exiting of light from the optical fiber is set to be equal to or smaller than 0.1, and an energy of a one-pulse laser beam applied from the light-delivering optical unit is set at a value equal to or smaller than 1 joule.

When a second switching element Q.sub.2 is changed over from ON state to OFF state for each switching cycle while a first switching element Q.sub.1 remains ON in a unit weld period T.sub.a for example, a primary current I.sub.1 does not come to a stop at once under the influence of inductance of a welding transformer 16 but it flows as a transient current i through a primary circuit until it is off. The transient current i makes a closed circuit through which it flows from a primary coil of the welding transformer 16 via a third diode D.sub.3 and then a first switching element Q.sub.1 again into the primary coil of the welding transformer 16. More specifically, due to the first switching element Q.sub.1 being kept ON, the transient current i which has passed through the third diode D.sub.3 flows through the first switching element Q.sub.1, without passing through a capacitor 12, and comes back into the primary coil of the welding transformer. Little or substantially no current flows through the capacitor 12.

A laser beam LB, which has entered a housing, travels via a reflection mirror and through a beam diffusion plate, ND filters 42 and a visible rays cut-off filter 44 to impinge on a beam receiving surface of a photodiode 46. A resistance heating element 48 in the form of, e.g., a metal film resistor and a power transistor 50 for the supply of electric power to the resistance heating element 48 are fixedly secured by bolts via respective insulating sheets with thermal conductivity to external wall surfaces of thick sidewalls 28d and 28e of a thermally conductive second retainer 28. The second retainer 28 is heated by both heat generated by the resistance heating element 48 and heat generated by the transistor 50. The second retainer 28 is provided also with a temperature sensor 52. A temperature control circuit accepts an output signal from the temperature sensor 52 and provides control of an output signal from the transistor 50 so as to allow the temperature of the second retainer 28 to conform to a set temperature.

In a laser beam processing apparatus, a laser monitor comprises a photo sensor, a laser power measuring circuit, an A-D converter, a monitor control unit, a comparison decision unit, a display control unit, a display, an alarm generating circuit and a buzzer. A measured laser power signal (analog voltage signal) representative of an instantaneous value of laser power of a pulsed laser beam is produced by the photo sensor and the laser power measuring circuit, and the digital measured laser power signal from the A-D converter is supplied to the comparison decision unit and to the monitor control unit. The monitor control unit sets or determines a monitor reference waveform corresponding to a laser control reference waveform used for waveform control in the processing apparatus and controls the comparison decision unit. The comparison decision unit provides a monitoring decision on the power of the pulsed laser beam, which is displayed by a visual presentation or by display lamps on the display.
