Abstract
An optical measuring device for monitoring a joint seam, joining head and laser welding head. The optical measuring device monitors a joining region in a workpiece and has at least one light-section device with a first light source for casting a light fan in the direction of the workpiece to be joined, making a triangulation light line within the joining region which intersects a joint seam. An illumination device with a second light source homogeneously illuminates the joining region. A first optical sensor with a first observation beam path for spatially resolved imaging of the triangulation light line is projected onto the joint seam. A second optical sensor with a second observation beam path for spatially resolved imaging of the joint seam is coaxially coupled with the first observation beam path. The readout rate of the first and second optical sensors is >1 kHz and <500 Hz, respectively.
