Abstract

A laser machining system includes: a laser irradiation device that irradiates a workpiece with a laser beam; a workpiece moving device that moves the workpiece; a laser irradiation controller that controls the laser irradiation device to control an irradiation position of the laser beam; and a workpiece move controller that controls the workpiece moving device to control at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece. The workpiece move controller transmits information about at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece to the laser irradiation controller. The laser irradiation controller compensates for the irradiation position of the laser beam based on the information received from the workpiece move controller.

Claims (14)

1. A laser machining system comprising: a laser irradiation device that irradiates a workpiece with a laser beam;

a workpiece moving device that moves the workpiece;

a laser irradiation controller that controls the laser irradiation device to control an irradiation position of the laser beam; and

a workpiece move controller that controls the workpiece moving device to control a position and a posture of the workpiece, wherein

the workpiece move controller transmits information about at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece to the laser irradiation controller,

the laser irradiation controller compensates for the irradiation position of the laser beam based on the information received from the workpiece move controller,

the laser irradiation device is a scanner that scans the laser beam along a predetermined irradiation path and at a predetermined irradiation speed,

the workpiece moving device is a robot that moves the workpiece along a predetermined move path and at a predetermined move speed,

the laser irradiation controller is a scanner controller that controls the irradiation path and the irradiation speed of the scanner,

the workpiece move controller is a robot controller that controls the move path and the move speed of the robot,

the robot controller transmits information about the position and the posture of the workpiece based on the move path and the move speed of the robot to the scanner controller, and

the scanner controller compensates for the irradiation path and the irradiation speed of the scanner based on the information received from the robot controller.

2. The laser machining system according to claim 1 , wherein the laser irradiation controller controls the irradiation position of the laser beam independently of control of at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece by the workpiece move controller.

3. The laser machining system according to claim 1 , wherein the scanner controller controls the irradiation path and the irradiation speed of the scanner independently of control of the move path and the move speed of the robot by the robot controller.
