  • Laser emission-based control of beam positioner
    Patent number: 9527159
    Abstract: A laser machining system (20) employs a fast positioner (68), such as a pair of galvanometer mirrors (70), that directs a beam axis (24) at a specified velocity to a start position of a cutting path (92) in coincidence with one of multiple laser pulses emitted from a laser (28) a constant laser pulse repetition rate, which runs independently of the relative position of the beam axis (24) with respect to the workpiece (26).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.
    Inventors: Joseph Frankel, Bob Beauchaine, Doug Gibson
