  • Publication number: 20210031440
    Abstract: In a photochemical method for the additive manufacture of components a construction material is used which can undergo a further phase transition controllable by cooling between the liquid phase and a solid aggregate state as a second solid phase during the additive manufacture, which does not influence the first solid phase produced by radiation for the construction of the components. The further phase transition is controlled during the construction of the components so that component regions solidified whilst forming the first solid phase are supported by surrounding construction material in the second solid phase. A block of solidified construction material formed by the transition into the second solid phase is conveyed by an advancing device laterally approaching and engaging the block contrary to the construction direction in order to construct the components. This enables a continuous fabrication of the components without interruptions due to a change of the construction platform.

  • Patent number: 10835994
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for joining two components (1, 2), a first component (I) and a second component (2), in the region of a joint zone by means of at least one laser beam. In a first phase, the first component (I) is melted, and a melt lens is formed in the first component (I) from the molten material (9). In a second phase, at least one pressure pulse is applied to the melt in the direction of the second component (2) until the melt lens is deflected into the joint gap as a result of the pressure pulse, bridges the joint gap, and comes into contact with the second component (2), and energy is transmitted to the second component (2) as a result of the melt lens coming into contact with the second component. A temperature curve results in the second component (2) as a result of the energy transmission such that the melting temperature is reached on the upper face of the second component (2), and a melt film is formed.

  • Patent number: 9643280
    Abstract: A laser processing apparatus includes: a laser generator that generates a laser beam, a diffractive optical element that divides the laser beam generated by the laser generator into a plurality of sub-laser beams, and a beam gap adjustor that adjusts a gap between neighboring ones of the plurality of sub-laser beams. Therefore, by installing a diffractive optical element that divides a laser beam that is generated by the laser generator into the plurality of sub-laser beams and a beam gap adjustor to adjust a gap between a plurality of sub-laser beams, the laser processing apparatus can form a processing pattern of various resolutions in a shadow mask while improving a processing speed of the shadow mask.

  • Patent number: 7842901
    Abstract: A device for drilling and for removing material using a laser beam comprises: a rotating image rotator (2); a beam manipulator (1) which, when viewed in the beam direction, is arranged in front of the image rotator and which serves to adjust the angle and position of the beam relative to the rotation axis of the image rotator; and a focusing device (3) located on the output side of the image rotator. A compensating device (3, 13, 14, 15) is placed between the image rotator and the focusing device and rotates with the image rotator in the same direction of rotation and with the same rotational frequency. The compensating device has a parallel displacement unit (15) and an angle changing unit (13, 14), and the compensating device, in a basic setting, is adjustable in its rotating position relative to the image rotator.

  • Patent number: 7790999
    Abstract: A method of producing a welding seam with a single laser pulse, the laser pulse and the work piece being moved relative to each other at a high velocity. This results in the length of the welding seam formed being primarily the product of pulse duration of the laser pulse and the relative velocity of work piece and laser pulse. The invention also relates to a method in which the work piece moved at high velocity relative to the laser beam is subjected along the welding seam to be formed to repeated applications of a single laser pulse. In that case the length of the welding seam is defined principally of the product of pulse duration of the laser pulse and the relative velocity of the work piece and laser pulse divided by the number of applications.
