  • Publication number: 20240139872
    Abstract: To prevent metal vapor and spatter from adhering to an optical system. A vacuum laser processing device includes: a laser beam irradiation unit having an optical system configured to emit a laser beam and an irradiation chamber through which the emitted laser beam passes; a construction chamber to which the irradiation chamber of the laser beam irradiation unit is connected, and in which an object to be processed to be constructed by the laser beam is positioned; a vacuum device unit configured to produce a vacuum in the interior of the construction chamber; and a gas supply unit having a gas nozzle configured to inject cross jet gas toward the laser beam at an irradiation port, which is the outlet of the laser beam of the irradiation chamber.

  • Patent number: 11958143
    Abstract: A welding control device includes an actual position determination part configured to determine an actual position of the position control target on the basis of a weld characteristic amount detected from a captured image captured so as to include at least the position control target, the welding characteristic amount including at least one of a wire position of the weld wire or an electrode position of the electrode; a target position determination part configured to determine a target position being a target of the actual position corresponding to a weld condition for welding the weld target; and a position control part configured to execute a position control of the position control target to bring the actual position to the target position.

  • Patent number: 11458565
    Abstract: A weldment manufacturing method includes drilling that forms a hole on a workpiece, feeding a filler material to the hole and putting the filler material on a bottom of the hole, and melting the filler material by emitting a laser beam to the hole while scanning with the laser beam, so as to fill the hole with the melted filler material. By repeating the feeding and the melting, a weld repairing portion filling the hole is formed.

  • Publication number: 20220152720
    Abstract: A welding control device configured to control a position control object which includes at least one of a welding wire used to weld a welding object or an electrode for melting the welding wire includes a first decision unit for deciding an actual position of the position control object based on a welding feature amount detected from an image which is shot to include at least the position control object, a second decision unit for deciding a target position which is a target of the actual position according to an input condition based on the input condition which includes at least one of attitude information of the electrode when the welding object is welded or shape information of the welding object, and a control unit for performing position control of the position control object so that the actual position becomes the target position.
