  • Exchangeable optical module for a laser machining machine
    Patent number: 11927825
    Abstract: An optical module for a machine for machining workpieces and/or for producing molded bodies by location-selective solidification of material powder to form connected regions by a focused laser beam includes a housing for releasably attaching the optical module to the machine and a plurality of optical components are arranged in or on the housing to collimate and focus the laser beam.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: SAUER GmbH
    Inventors: Udo Stürmer, Andreas Abt
  • Optical module having a device for automatically changing a collimation optic
    Patent number: 11478881
    Abstract: An optical module for a machine for machining workpieces and/or for producing molded bodies by way of location-selective solidification of material powder into contiguous regions by a laser beam includes a housing for releasably fastening the optical module to the machine and a collimation optics changer releasably arranged in the housing, having at least two collimation optics which can be moved into a beam path of the laser beam for collimating the laser beam. The collimation optics changer has a mechanism for automatically changing the collimation optics.
