A laser machine includes a scanner configured to irradiate a workpiece with a laser beam, a robot configured to move the scanner, a robot controller configured to control the robot, and a scanner controller configured to control the scanner so as to control an irradiation position of the laser beam. The scanner controller includes a learned model obtained through supervised learning based on training data including, as input data, drive information relating to the robot at times when the scanner is moved in advance in a plurality of directions and speeds, and as correct data, actual position data and actual posture data of the attached scanner at the times. The actual position data and the actual posture data are calculated on the basis of the drive information relating to the robot in the learned model, and a robot movement consideration/calculation unit compensates the irradiation position of the laser beam.

Laser machine

A laser machining system includes: a laser irradiation device that irradiates a workpiece with a laser beam; a workpiece moving device that moves the workpiece; a laser irradiation controller that controls the laser irradiation device to control an irradiation position of the laser beam; and a workpiece move controller that controls the workpiece moving device to control at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece. The workpiece move controller transmits information about at least one of the position and the posture of the workpiece to the laser irradiation controller. The laser irradiation controller compensates for the irradiation position of the laser beam based on the information received from the workpiece move controller.

Laser machining system

A laser machining apparatus includes a scanner head having at least two galvanometer mirrors and galvano motors, a moving means for moving the scanner head, a movement control apparatus for controlling the moving means, and a scanner control apparatus having a galvano motor control unit for controlling rotational driving angles of the galvano motors. The movement control apparatus has a rotation angle detection unit for detecting a rotation angle of the scanner head with respect to the moving direction. The scanner control apparatus has a mirror angle calculation unit for calculating, from data on the rotation angle, rotational driving angles of the mirrors so that an intersecting direction of the laser beam corresponds to a predetermined direction with respect to the moving direction. The galvano motor control unit controls the galvano motors so that the rotational driving angles calculated by the mirror angle calculation unit are set.

Laser machining apparatus

A laser machining device includes a scanner head which can scan a laser beam, a movement means for the scanner head, a scanner head control device and a movement control device. In the laser machining device, the scanner head control device controls, based on a machining parameter on a path motion, the scanner head such that the laser beam is scanned in a first direction and a second direction, the scanner head control device includes a distance calculation portion which calculates, from the information of an angle &#x3b8; formed by a normal to an item to be machined from the scanner head and the direction of application of the laser beam and a focal length, a difference between a desired machining distance and an actual machining distance and based on the result of the calculation, the movement control device corrects the feedrate of the movement means or the scanner head control device corrects the machining parameter such that the desired machining distance and the actual machining distance are made equal to each other.
