Abstract: A multifunctional shaft apparatus includes a shaft base, a spindle, a tool holder, an ultrasonic vibration assembly, a laser light source and a mirror assembly. The spindle is disposed in the shaft base. The spindle has a laser channel extending along the spindle. The tool holder is disposed on the spindle. The tool holder has a hollow passage, an inner space and a recessed portion. The hollow passage is communicated with the laser channel. An inner wall of the hollow passage has at least one through hole communicated with the inner space, and the recessed portion is disposed on a bottom surface of the tool holder. The bottom surface has a light outlet. The ultrasonic vibration assembly includes a vibration member disposed in the recessed portion. The mirror assembly is disposed in the tool holder and is configured to reflect the laser light beam generated by the laser light source.

Abstract: A laser preheating control method is applied to a laser preheating control device. When a cutter processes a workpiece along a process path, a laser source of the device is provided to output a laser beam to the workpiece for selectively forming a laser spot on the workpiece surface. And according to a movement direction of the cutter, a laser controller of the device is provided to form the laser spot only on a preheating region of the workpiece, where in front of the cutter in the process path, for preheating the workpiece in the preheating region. As a result, the laser spot will not repeatedly heat the workpiece behind the cutter in the process path, and the qualitative change of the workpiece caused by repeating heating is preventable.
