Hans LANGRIEGER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method for producing a laser weld seam between components by use of a spherical or sphere-like element, and corresponding component connection
    Patent number: 10427243
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a weld seam on or at a first component, or in the region of a first component, from which at least one spherical or sphere-like element projects. The position of the at least one spherical or sphere-like element is detected using an optoelectronic detection device and corresponding position data are generated. The weld seam is produced contact free using an electronically-controlled laser welding device that is arranged at a distance from the first component and said at least one spherical or sphere-like element. The laser welding device is controlled on the basis of, or using, the position data of the spherical or sphere-like element.

  • Method for laser remote processing of a workpiece on a fillet and device therefor
    Patent number: 9566664
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laser remote processing of a component on a fillet, wherein a laser beam is directed by means of a scanner device onto the component and guided over said component. The working range of the laser beam on the workpiece is illuminated with illuminating radiation and is captured by at least one image capturing unit. The illuminating radiation is directed onto the component at an angle of attack which is set depending the fillet geometry of the component. The captured image data are evaluated automatically and, with the aid of the evaluation, if appropriate, an automatic correction of the path of the laser beam is carried out.
