  • Encoded optical element of a laser processing head
    Patent number: 7947923
    Abstract: A device for a laser processing head includes an optical element configured for attachment to the laser processing head, a housing for the laser processing head configured to receive the optical element, and a mechanical encoding disposed on at least one of the optical element and the housing to permit installation of a predetermined optical element at a predetermined orientation into the housing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2005
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2011
    Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KG
    Inventors: Martin Lambert, Philipp Herwerth
  • Laser processing nozzle coupling
    Patent number: 7273997
    Abstract: A laser processing nozzle coupling assembly for connecting a laser processing nozzle to a laser processing head includes a hollow sleeve, a laser processing nozzle adapted to be removably coupled to the sleeve, and a collar for coupling the nozzle to the sleeve. The nozzle is displaceable within the sleeve along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve, and the collar is displaceable along a surface outside the sleeve. The sleeve, the nozzle, and the collar are adapted to co-operate to release the nozzle from a locked position within the sleeve when the nozzle is displaced in a first direction within the sleeve and then displaced in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
