Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for removing material from a workpiece by means of a laser beam with the features of the preamble of the independent claims.
  • Such a device usually comprises a laser arrangement for generating a laser beam from at least one laser pulse, which has parameter values at least for laser wavelength, pulse duration, pulse spacing and laser intensity.
  • Devices of this type are used in particular to drill holes with the highest precision in a workpiece.
  • the invention is described below with reference to a laser drilling device, it is clear that the measures according to the invention can also be applied to other devices which cause a precise material removal by means of a laser beam on a workpiece, regardless of whether this material removal takes the form of a drilling, Milling or cutting process or the like. he follows.
  • the material When a laser hole is formed, the material is removed or expelled by liquefaction and evaporation at the point of impact of the laser beam.
  • the precision of such a laser drilling is incomplete expelled material, which mainly deposits as a melt in the borehole, is significantly impaired.
  • the laser intensity can be increased to improve the material output. This increases the vapor pressure generated by the laser beam and thus also the material output. However, an increased vapor pressure also results in an increased shielding of the laser beam, which reduces the drilling speed and the maximum achievable drilling depth.
  • the device according to the invention in particular if it is designed as a laser drilling device for machining workpieces made of solid material, has the advantage that the laser system works with at least two types of laser pulses, one type of laser pulse being selected by a suitable choice of its parameter values, e.g. when drilling, with regard to a maximum drilling depth and
  • Drilling speed is designed, while the other laser pulse type is optimized by a corresponding selection of its parameter values, for example when drilling with regard to a maximum material output.
  • the at least two types of laser pulses can be matched to one another in such a way that, for example in the case of a laser drilling device, there are optimal values for the maximum achievable drilling depth, for the drilling speed and for the precision of the drilling.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that e.g. in laser drilling, the values for drilling depth, drilling progress and drilling quality depend particularly strongly on certain parameter values of the laser pulse. The important ones
  • Parameter values are laser wavelength and pulse duration.
  • an interaction of electromagnetic radiation with a plasma present in the borehole increases with the laser wavelength; the interaction increases proportionally to the square of the laser wavelength.
  • a larger laser wavelength has a stronger interaction with the plasma and thus causes a greater plasma formation and e ne greater pressure increase in the plasma, while a shorter laser wavelength forms less plasma and also passes through the plasma relatively unhindered.
  • a shorter laser wavelength therefore results in a higher drilling speed and a greater maximum drilling depth, while a larger laser wavelength improves the drilling quality.
  • the laser arrangement can be designed such that it generates a laser beam in which at least one laser pulse of one type follows at least one laser pulse of the other type. In this way, for example, when laser drilling
  • Drilling phases with high drilling speed and drilling phases with strong material drive can be generated with the help of a single laser beam.
  • the laser arrangement can be designed such that it generates two coaxial laser beams, one of which consists of at least one laser pulse of one type and the other of at least one laser pulse of the other type. In this way, one laser beam causes a high drilling speed and the other laser beam produces a high drilling quality.
  • the laser arrangement can have two laser generators or lasers, one of which generates a laser beam with at least one laser pulse of one type and the other generates a laser beam with at least one laser pulse of the other type, the laser arrangement then also having an optical arrangement which interconnects the lasers and aligns their laser beams coaxially.
  • Laser arrangements e.g. optimized either to achieve a high drilling speed or to achieve a high drilling precision, can be put together to form the device according to the invention, which uses the advantages of both lasers.
  • the pulse duration of at least one of the laser pulse types can be approximately as long as the time required to carry out a material removal process, in particular a drilling.
  • FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram-like Pzip view of a device according to the invention in a first embodiment
  • Fig. 2 is a circuit diagram-like P ⁇ nzipdargna the
  • a laser arrangement 1 m in a first embodiment according to FIG. 1 has a pulsed laser 2 suitable for drilling, which in particular can be a well-switched solid-state laser.
  • This laser 2 generates a laser beam 3, which is symbolized by a solid line.
  • This laser beam 3 is constructed from laser pulses that have a specific laser wavelength
  • this laser wavelength is 1064 nm, which is the fundamental wavelength of this laser type
  • the laser beam 3 is fed to a frequency multiplier 4, m the laser pulse by frequency multiplication can be generated with a shorter laser wavelength.
  • a frequency multiplier 4 usually consists of a crystal or of crystals that generate at least one associated harmonic wavelength from a fundamental wavelength.
  • the shorter laser wavelength is thus preferably a harmonic wavelength to the fundamental wavelength of the respective laser type; with an Nd: YAG aser, the harmonic wavelengths are, for example, 532 nm, 355 nm, 266 nm shorter laser wavelength can be used.
  • From the frequency multiplier 4 there emerges a first laser beam 5, shown with a solid line, the laser pulses of which have a longer laser wavelength, and a second laser beam 6, shown with a broken line, whose laser pulses have a shorter laser wavelength.
  • the laser beams 5 and 6 strike a first splitter mirror 7, which consists, for example, of a dielectric coated glass plate and has a high transmission for the longer laser wavelength and a high reflection for the shorter laser wavelength.
  • a beam interrupter 8 or 9 is arranged, for example by a mechanical interrupter, a so-called “chopper” or from an electrically controllable one
  • Beam switches eg Pockels cell
  • the two laser beams 5 and 6 are brought together again via a second splitter mirror 10 and aligned coaxially to one another.
  • the second divider mirror 10 also preferably consists of a dielectrically coated glass plate with high transmission for the larger laser wavelength and high reflection for the smaller laser wavelength.
  • laser pulses of one type can alternate with laser pulses of the other type (e.g. with a shorter laser wavelength). It is also possible to alternate a series of laser pulses of one type with a series of laser pulses of the other type. For a specific application, it can also be expedient to let the two laser beams 5 and 6 or their laser pulses strike the respective workpiece simultaneously.
  • a laser arrangement 11 in a device according to the invention is equipped with a pulsed laser 12 suitable for drilling, preferably with a solid-state laser, which has a resonator 13, in which a laser crystal 19 is arranged, for example is designed as a rod crystal or slab stall.
  • a first Brewster window 14 and a second Brewster window 15 are arranged in a resonator 13 of the laser arrangement on both sides of the laser 12, with the aid of which a linear polarization of the laser beam generated by the laser 12 is carried out.
  • a Pockels cell 16 is also arranged in the resonator 13, which is switched free running for laser pulses with a predetermined longer pulse duration and works as a good switch for laser pulses with a predetermined shorter pulse duration.
  • the long pulse duration can be 150 ⁇ s, for example, while the short pulse duration is 10 ns, for example.
  • an end mirror 17 and a coupling-out mirror 18 are arranged in the resonator 13.
  • the Brewster windows 14 and 15 are not required.
  • another suitable Q-switch can also be used. It is also possible to construct the device 11 with different laser wavelengths in order to adapt the coupling for shifted materials. In the device 11 according to FIG. 2, the laser excitation can take place both with flash lamps and with diodes.
