>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 2 >> Motivation Modular concept for laser heads scapacs401 scapacs401 – custom made for every application > various new kinds of lasers on the market with different characteristics > different processes require individual systems > based on experiences with 1st and 2nd generation of laser heads > extended product spectrum for customer applications > open for future trends
>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 3 >> Functional principle Functional principle of a laser head with integrated rotation axis and integrated seam tracking consisting of modules 1. laser fiber coupling 2. collimation unit (lens package) 3. deflection unit (mirror) 4. rotation axis 5. camera observation 6. deflection unit with camera connection 7. focusing unit (lenses) KS – force sensor TA – telescopic arm STRG – integrated controller
>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 4 >> Fiber coupling 1. Fiber coupling Connect the laser fiber with the laser head Lens aperture saves the optical system Water cooling system dissipates absorbed energy Available Trumpf-B (Trumpf, Laserline-Diodelaser) Optoscand QBH (Rofin, IPG) D-fiber (future standard)
>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 5 >> Collimating unit and deflection unit 2. Collimating unit Is a lens or lens package used to collimate light, that is, to gather it together in a parallel beam. Can be combined with an auto focus module Different focal lengths (depending on laser and image ratio of laser head) 3. Deflection unit deflects the collimated laser beam (90°) Contains a mirror with special coating Collimating unit (auto focus) Corpus Lenses Deflection unit
>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 6 >> Rotation axis, camera observation and deflection unit 4. Rotation axis Required for seam tracking Motor operated to swivel laser beam Get signals from telescopic arm, force sensor and controller 5. Camera observation Observe the area around the TCP (TCP=Tool Center Point) 6. Deflection unit with camera connection deflects the collimated laser beam (90°) Contains a semi permeable mirror Rotation axis
>> Presentation scapacs401>> Page: 7 >> Focusing unit 7. Focusing unit Focuses the laser beam onto the work piece Define the image ratio in combination with the collimating unit Define the focus diameter Different focal lengths available Focusing unit (adjustable) Corpus Lenses
