  • Publication number: 20020148821
    Abstract: A nozzle system for laser machining capable of maintaining an interference region of a robot in a teaching operation to be substantially the same as that in a laser machining operation. An optical fiber supporting unit is attached to a nozzle body unit having laser beam converging lens for performing a laser machining operation. An optical fiber for supplying a laser beam is connected to an optical fiber connector on the optical fiber supporting unit. A laser machining is performed by combination of the nozzle body unit and the optical fiber supporting member attached to a distal end of a robot arm. In a teaching operation, a camera supporting unit (dummy nozzle) having substantially the same dimension as the nozzle body unit and supporting a camera at a predetermined position is used in place of the optical fiber supporting unit and the nozzle body unit.
