Title: Thomas Buckert and Laser Scanner Field Correction.

Introduction

Thomas Buckert is an inventor associated with Burgthann, Germany, and Novanta Europe GmbH. His patent work addresses the calibration of laser scanner systems, with a method designed to improve scanning-field correction.

Latest Patents

Buckert is associated with 1 patent: “Method for Scanning Field Correction at Least of a Laser Scanner Device, Laser Scanner Device, Scatter Pattern Element, Scatter Pattern Holding Device and Scanning Field Correction System.”

The invention describes placing a scatter-pattern element on a processing plane and scanning at least part of it with a laser beam. The beam passes through a window, such as protective glass, before reaching the plane. The system detects radiation scattered or reflected from designated regions, then correlates those measurements with the scanner coordinates to create a contour diagram. By comparing that diagram with a reference image, the method determines deviations and calculates a calibration function for controlling the scanner’s deflection unit.

Career Highlights

Buckert’s listed patent focuses on a practical challenge in laser scanning: correcting deviations in the scanning field. Its approach uses a known scatter pattern and measured radiation to derive calibration data for the scanner.

Collaborations

Buckert is associated with Novanta Europe GmbH. His listed coworkers include Florian Klemmer and Martin Hartmann.

Conclusion

Thomas Buckert’s patent work centers on using scatter-pattern measurements to identify scanning deviations and calculate corrections, contributing to the calibration of laser scanner systems.
