LASER MACHINING HEAD, AND LASER MACHINING SYSTEM COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464223 titled 'LASER MACHINING HEAD, AND LASER MACHINING SYSTEM COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a laser processing head that includes a housing and multiple optical components. The housing has two light entrance ports for two different laser beams and a light irradiation port. The optical components include a bend mirror, a dichroic mirror, an aperture, and a detection-side condensing lens. The laser beams transmitted through the condensing lens are received by an image sensor. The aperture can reduce the diameters of the laser beams incident on the condensing lens.

Original Abstract Submitted
Laser processing head () includes housing () and a plurality of optical components. Housing () includes first and second light entrance ports (a) and (b) through which first and second laser beams (A) and (B) are incident, and light irradiation port (). Second laser beam (B) has a wavelength different from first laser beam (A). The plurality of optical components include bend mirror (), dichroic mirror (), aperture (), and detection-side condensing lens (). First and second laser beams (A) and (B) transmitted through detection-side condensing lens () are received by image sensor (). Aperture () is configured to be able to reduce diameters of first and second laser beams (A) and (B) incident on detection-side condensing lens ().
