Abstract: The invention relates to a laser material processing system comprising a collimation optic (K) having a total collimation focal length (fK), consisting of: a beam supply (Z) for divergent beams (D); a first and second optical device (Ll, L2) having a positive or negative focal length (fl, f2), wherein the divergent beams (D) first pass through the first optical device (Ll) and subsequently pass through the second optical device (L2), and leave the second optical device (L2) in a collimated state; a third optical device (0) arranged downstream of the collimation optic (K) and having a positive focal length (fO) that focuses the beams (P) leaving the collimation optic (K) in a collimated state to a focus (F); a first and second adjusting element (Al, A2) for independently moving the first or the second optical device (LI, L2) away from one another along a beam propagation direction (R), wherein a total beam path (gs) between the beam supply (Z) and an image-side focal plane (B) of the third optical device (0) i

Abstract: The invention refers to an apparatus for laser material processing having a beam deflecting unit (16) for deflecting the laser beam, a parallel-offsetting unit (14) including at least three reflecting mirrors (26, 28, 30), wherein one reflecting mirror (26) of the at least three reflecting mirrors for the parallel-offset of the laser beam is rotatable, and a focusing device (18) for focusing the laser beam on a workpiece (20) to be processed.

Abstract: Position detector for determining the rotation angle position of a rotatably supported object, comprising a light source for producing a light beam, a diffraction grating, a mirror which is connected with the object in a co-rotating manner in such a way that the light beam is reflected therefrom onto the diffraction grating and passes over the diffraction grating during a rotation of the mirror, thereby producing diffraction light, an interference device which is configured such as to be able to bring different diffraction orders of the diffraction light to interference, thereby producing an interference pattern, a light detector by means of which a brightness course, caused by the passing over of the diffraction grating with the reflected light beam, of the interference pattern can be detected, and an evaluation unit by which the rotation angle position of the object can be determined based on the brightness course.

Abstract: A set of plates that interact to control the action of a router to direct it to shape interlocking components in sheet materials. The device is mainly applicable to dovetail joints but it can be applied to lettering and decoration. One of the plates supports the router over the workpiece. A second plate forms a shaped base for the router. Two further plates control the movement of the router plate and hence the router itself on the base plate. Another of the set of plates is indented with depressions that act as a template that controls the position of the cut of the router by means of an attached locating pin that can follow the template. The positioning of the router and the way it attacks the sheet material is unrestrained until checked by the plates. These plates together can form a set of dovetail jigs that cut both through and lapped dovetails using any dovetail cutter.
