Mount For An Optical Element
The present disclosure relates to a mount for an optical element for disposal, comprising an edge having an opening configured such that an optical element can be radially inserted into the mount. A first system may comprise the mount and an optical element for insertion into the mount, and a second system may comprise the first system and a device for receiving the mount. A laser processing head for laser material processing may comprise the second system.
1 . An optical element mount comprising a rim having an opening configured such that an optical element can be radially inserted into the mount.
2 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the edge is arranged with at least one radially acting element for fixing the optical element.
3 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the radially acting element is a spring element or a contour.
4 . The mount according to claim 3 , wherein the contours are selected from the group comprising wedges, half shells, cylinders, stops and balls.
5 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the edge has a notch for positioning the optical element in the axial direction.
6 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the edge surrounds the optical element in an annular or rectangular shape.
7 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the notch is formed as a C- or U-shaped profile.
8 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the spring part of the radially acting element is a shaped spring, strip spring, flat spring, leaf spring, spiral spring, barrel spring or ring spring.
9 . The mount according to claim 1 , comprising contours in the C- or U-shaped profile to increase the contact area between the optical element and the mount.
10 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein a round mount encloses the optical element by 180° to 240°.
11 . The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the mount has an asymmetrical shape in cross-section for receiving the optical element.
12 . The mount according to claim 1 , comprising sliding elements to facilitate the insertion of the optical element.
13 . The mount according to claim 12 , wherein the sliding elements consist of polyamide, polytetrafluoroethylene or polyethylene.
14 . A first system, comprising a mount according to claim 1 and an optical element for insertion into the mount.
15 . The first system according to claim 14 , wherein the optical element is surrounded by a mount.
16 . A second system, comprising a first system according to claim 14 and a device for receiving the mount.
17 . The second system according to claim 16 , wherein it is a lens tube.
18 . A laser processing head for laser material processing comprising a second system according to claim 16 .
19 . A second system, comprising a first system according to claim 15 and a device for receiving the mount.
20 . The second system according to claim 19 , wherein it is a lens tube.
21 . A laser processing head for laser material processing comprising a second system according to claim 19 .
