LASER MACHINING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240207979 titled 'LASER MACHINING APPARATUS
The patent application describes a laser machining apparatus that can detect even a minute deviation of laser light and estimate the form and direction of the deviation.
- The apparatus includes a rotatable plate, a meter, a plate drive, and a transition detector.
- A through hole is formed in the plate, allowing a part of the laser light to pass through.
- The meter measures the passing laser amount as an amount of light or heat.
- The plate drive rotates the plate, while the transition detector detects transitions in the passing laser amount as the plate rotates.
Potential Applications: - Precision laser machining - Quality control in laser cutting processes - Alignment and calibration of laser systems
Problems Solved: - Detecting and measuring small deviations in laser light - Estimating the form and direction of deviations accurately
Benefits: - Improved precision in laser machining - Enhanced quality control in manufacturing processes - Efficient alignment and calibration of laser systems
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Laser Machining Apparatus for Precision Manufacturing" This technology can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices for high-precision manufacturing processes.
Questions about Laser Machining Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus detect and measure small deviations in laser light? The apparatus uses a through hole in a rotating plate to allow a part of the laser light to pass through, which is then measured by a meter.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology in different industries? This technology can be applied in precision laser machining, quality control in manufacturing, and alignment of laser systems across various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
to allow even a minute deviation of laser light to be detected and the form and direction of the deviation to be estimated. a laser machining apparatus includes a plate, a meter, a plate drive, and a transition detector. the plate is rotatable and irradiated with the laser light. a through hole is formed at a position spaced apart from the rotation axis of the plate. at least a part of the through hole is included in an irradiation area of the laser light. the through hole allows a part of the laser light to pass therethrough. the meter measures a passing laser amount as an amount of light or an amount of heat of the laser light passing through the through hole. the plate drive rotates the plate. the transition detector detects a transition of a measured value of the passing laser amount as the plate rotates.
