Patent number: 8961094Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for aligning substrates (2) in an XY-plane. A polygonal, flat substrate (2), the substrate plane of which is parallel to the XY-plane or lies in the XY-plane, is aligned with respect to reference coordinates and a reference angular position in the XY-plane. A corner (12) of the substrate (2) is detected using image detecting means (9). In addition, the position coordinates of the substrate (2) are determined. Using evaluating means (10), the angular position of the corner (12) of the substrate (2) in the XY-plane is determined, and the position differences between the reference coordinates and the position coordinates as well as the angle difference between the reference angular position and the angular position of the substrate corner (12) are calculated. The substrate (2) is moved and/or rotated in the XY-plane according to the determined position difference or the angle difference.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Singulus Technologies AGInventors: Edgar Rüth, Wolfgang Becker, Marjan Filipovic, Reiner Rohrmann

Patent number: 8903125Abstract: An object (1) is identified based on the unique, characteristic, optical properties (10) before the object is processed in a facility (3). In addition, a clear identification is assigned to the object (1). All production data and process parameters for all facilities (3) through which the object (1) passes are stored together with the identification in an electronic data processing means (6). After the object (1) has passed through a facility (3), the object (1) can be identified again based on its unique, characteristic, optical properties (10). Thus, it can be examined whether the system for tracking the object (1) within a production facility (3) functions without errors. Alternatively, the new identification can also be used to assign a new identification to an object (1) for which the unique, characteristic, optical properties (10) have changed during the production process.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Singulus Technologies AGInventors: Edgar Rüth, Wolfgang Becker

Patent number: 8124912Abstract: A processing area of a structural component, such as a gas turbine component, is heated by irradiation with several laser sources prior to and/or during and/or after carrying out a processing such as a deposit welding or machining of the component on the processing area. For the heating, each laser source directs a respective energy beam onto the processing area, which respectively produces an energy spot on the processing area.
