METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF A LASER HEAD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the adjustment of the beam axis of a laser head and an apparatus for this purpose. In particular, the invention relates to a method and an apparatus which allow for an automated process of adjustment. The method according to the invention comprises the steps of introduction of the laser head (3) into the mounting (8), determination of the set/actual deviation of the beam axis (2), determination of motions (6A and/or 6B) that are necessary for reduction of this deviation, as well as adjustment of the beam axis (2) by driving the adjusting device (4) in order to generate these adjusting motions (6A and/or 6B) , and transmitting the adjusting motions (6A and/or 6B) via the both arms (7A, 7B) of the adjusting lever (7) to the laser head (3) which is arranged in the mounting (8). The method according to the invention is preferably carried out by using an apparatus (1) according to the invention which comprises a mounting (8) for the laser head (3), an adjusting device (4) comprising at least one adjusting unit (5A, 5B) for adjustment of the beam axis (2), as well as an adjusting lever (7) .
