  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A LIQUID JET
    Publication number: 20220258282
    Abstract: A method for determining a spatial position of a liquid jet, in particular of a liquid jet for optically guiding a laser beam, comprises the steps: providing a collision object having a measuring point for interacting with the liquid jet, detecting a state of the liquid jet in a first configuration between collision object and liquid jet, changing the configuration so that the state of the liquid jet changes, detecting the configuration change between the first and second configuration.

  • Machining head
    Patent number: 10780527
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machining head for coupling a laser beam into a liquid jet. This machining head comprises an optical unit having at least one optical element for focusing the laser beam, and a coupling unit having a liquid chamber that is delimited by a wall, wherein a nozzle having a nozzle opening for generating a liquid jet is disposed in the wall. In a state in which the coupling unit is connected to the optical unit, the laser beam that is capable of being focused by the optical unit is directable in a beam direction through the liquid chamber of the coupling unit into the nozzle opening, and is capable of being coupled into the liquid jet that is generatable by the nozzle and runs in the beam direction.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A LIQUID JET THROUGH THE MODIFICATION OF AN ORIENTATION
    Publication number: 20170157709
    Abstract: A method for determining a spatial position of a liquid jet, in particular of a liquid jet for optically guiding a laser beam, comprises the steps: providing a collision object having a measuring point for interacting with the liquid jet, detecting a state of the liquid jet in a first configuration between collision object and liquid jet, changing the configuration so that the state of the liquid jet changes, detecting the configuration change between the first and second configuration.
