Latest Patents
One of Diehl's latest patents is an "Apparatus for 3D shaping of a workpiece by a liquid jet guided laser beam." This invention relates to an apparatus designed for 3D shaping through material ablation using a laser beam. The apparatus includes a machining unit that provides a pressurized fluid jet onto the workpiece while coupling the laser beam into the fluid jet directed towards the workpiece. Additionally, it features a motion controller that sets the x-y-z position of the workpiece relative to the machining unit, along with a measuring unit that measures the z-position of the point of incidence of the fluid jet on the workpiece.
Another notable patent is the "Apparatus for machining a workpiece with a laser beam coupled into a fluid jet, with automatic laser-nozzle alignment; method of aligning such a beam." This invention comprises a laser unit for providing the laser beam, a nozzle unit for producing the fluid jet, and an optical unit that directs the laser beam onto the nozzle unit. The apparatus also includes a control unit that manages the optical and nozzle units to adjust the point of incidence of the laser beam on the nozzle unit. A sensing unit is incorporated to detect laser light reflected from the nozzle unit's surface, producing a sensing signal that helps in aligning the laser beam accurately.
