On-Axis CAMERA APPLICATION

High-precision laser process monitoring thanks to inherent drift compensation

Thanks to a special dichroic element inside the deflection unit, the camera can be coupled into the optical path of the laser beam. This setup allows for the precise localization of the workpiece and the adjustment of the laser process, even at very short working distances. This renders high efforts in mechanical fixtures for the accurate positioning of parts redundant. Since laser beam and camera share the same optical path, this setup inherently compensates for the drift in the laser beam deflection and ensures especially high accuracy in the localization of workpieces as well as in the quality inspection of the process results.

• All working distances, also at fΘ < 163 mm
• High-precision (< 10 µm)
• Inherent drift compensation
• Recognizes fiducials in the laser field and within a narrow frame strip
• Laser beam power up to 6 kW
• Different refraction indices for different wavelengths of the laser and the visual light are compensated in X-Y plane
