  • Patent number: 6998572
    Abstract: A machining apparatus includes a light source (1) for generating light energy, an optical system (2, 3) for guiding the generated light energy to a joint position of a workpiece, a table (5a) on which the workpiece is mounted, and a heating device (5b) provided at the table for heating the workpiece. The machining apparatus, a machining method and production equipment using the machining apparatus allow the workpiece to be locally heated fast, which is applicable to soldering or the like.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5812314
    Abstract: A lens contamination preventive device comprises a gas jetting device for jetting out gas and a gas suction device for suctioning gas which are disposed to face each other with respect to an optical axis of light emitted through a lens. The gas jetting device and the gas suction device are disposed so as to form a layer of gas jet stream in the vicinity of a surface of the lens. The gas jetting device has a gas jetting port, a width of which is greater than a diameter of the lens. The gas suction device has a rate of suction greater than a rate of jet from the gas jetting device.
