    摘要: A laser processing machine for carrying out hole-forming on a plate-shaped workpiece is provided. A first program storage that stores a plurality of hole-forming programs and a second program storage that stores a plurality of cutout piece drop programs are also provided. A program selector that selects, from the second program storage, a cutout piece drop program associated with a hole-forming program selected from the first program storage to form the hole on the workpiece. A working head controller that controls a laser processing head according to the hole-forming program and the cutout piece drop program that are selected is also provided. A motion path of the processing head after forming the hole on the workpiece and a jetting condition of assist gas to an inside of the outline from the processing head on the motion path are programmed in each of the plurality of cutout piece drop programs.

    摘要: A laser machining device includes a laser generating component, a light moving component, a gas source and a laser machining scrap removal device. The laser generating component generates a laser beam passing through an optical channel. The light moving component is positioned along a path of the laser beam to make the laser beam move along an annular machining path. The laser machining scrap removal device utilizes an internal flow path of the nozzle to increase the speed of the ejected airflow and reduce the pressure of a suction area. The gas source provides an airflow and is located on the laser machining scrap removal device in communication with the internal flow path of the nozzle. The laser machining scrap removal device induces suction on the laser processed area to assist in laser cutting/drilling processes by removing large areas of scrap, thereby improving the production speed and hole quality.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a member having a through hole includes a primary formation step, an intensity determination step, a laser modulation step, and a secondary formation step. The primary formation step includes radiating a laser beam to a workpiece member to form a pilot hole having a smaller inner diameter than the through hole while receiving light from the workpiece member at a light detection unit. The intensity determination step includes determining whether a light intensity is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value. The laser modulation step includes modulating a spatial light phase of the laser beam the intensity of the light is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold value. The secondary formation step includes radiating the laser beam having the modulated spatial light phase to a peripheral part of the pilot hole to form the through hole.
