  • Publication number: 20240231081
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for scanning field correction at least of a laser scanner device (300), wherein the method comprises the following steps: —providing a scatter pattern element (30) on a processing plane (11), wherein the scatter pattern element (30) comprises at least one scatter region (31) which is arranged in a scatter pattern (M); —passing over or scanning at least one part of the scatter pattern element (30) on the processing plane (11) by means of a laser beam (12) of the at least one laser scanner device (300) along scanner coordinates (x, y, z), wherein the laser beam passes through at least one window (20), preferably protective glass, between a deflection unit (10) and the processing plane (11); —detecting scatter radiation (13) which can be generated by scattering and/or reflection of the laser beam (12) when passing over or scanning the at least one scatter region (31); —creating a contour diagram (K) by correlating the detected scatter radiation (13) with the scanner coordinates
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20220258279
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing material, in particular for modifying material and/or material properties, by means of laser radiation, comprising the following steps: a) generating a multiplicity of laser pulses (L); b) controlling the point of impact of the laser pulses (L) on a workpiece (100) to be processed, in particular deflecting the laser pulses (L) and/or moving the workpiece (100) to be processed, such that the laser pulses (L) are guided along a predetermined trajectory (Z) on the workpiece (100) to be processed. According to the invention, —a pulse-to-pulse time interval (?t) between the individual laser pulses (L) generated and/or—a pulse energy (Pi) of the laser pulses (L) and/or—a beam diameter (D) of the laser pulses (D) and/or—the predetermined trajectory (Z) is/are specifically subjected to noise.
