System for high-dynamic 3D machining of a workpiece by means of a laser beam
The system comprises a buckling arm robot with a robot frame ( 1 ) and an articulated arm ( 2 ) and a fiber optic cable ( 5 ) which is connected to one end of the articulated arm ( 2 ) and through which a laser beam ( 11 ) with a beam axis ( 10 ) is coupled into the articulated arm ( 2 ) in the direction of a first axis of the articulated arm ( 2 ). The fiber optic cable ( 5 ) is indirectly connected to the stationary end of the articulated arm ( 2 ) via an alignment unit ( 6 ) which comprises a collimating lens system ( 13 ) and at least two alignment mirrors ( 12.1, 12.2 ), each of which mirrors can swivel about at least one axis of rotation and move along at least one axis of translation, with the axes of rotation and the axes of translation being disposed at right angles to each other so that the beam axis ( 10 ) of the laser beam ( 11 ) can be made to coincide with the optical axis ( 4 ).
1. A system for high-dynamic 3D machining of a workpiece by means of a laser beam, comprising a buckling arm robot with a robot frame and an articulated arm, the stationary end of which arm is attached to the robot frame and on the free end of which arm a machining lens system is disposed, which lens system defines an optical axis, and a fiber optic cable which is connected to the stationary end of the articulated arm so as to be able to couple a laser beam with a beam axis into the articulated arm, characterized in
that the fiber optic cable is indirectly connected via an alignment unit to the stationary end of the articulated arm and the alignment unit comprises a collimating lens system and at least two alignment mirrors, each of which can swivel about at least one axis of rotation and move along at least one axis of translation, with the axes of rotation and the axes of translation being at right angles to each other, so that the beam axis can be made to coincide with the optical axis.
2. The system of claim 1 , characterized in that the connection between the fiber optic cable and the alignment unit is implemented via a plug that is disposed on the fiber optic cable and a jack that is disposed on the housing of the alignment unit, which plug and jack together form a rapid-action lock.
3. The system of claim 1 , characterized in that the fiber optic cable comprises a fiber laser and a transport laser.
4. The system of claim 1 , characterized in that the alignment unit also has a redirecting mirror which can be swiveled about the third axis of rotation and moved along the third axis of translation.
5. The system of claim 1 , characterized in that the lenses of the machining lens system and of the collimating lens system can be moved translationally relative to one another.
