METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE CONTROLLED LASER MACHINING OF A WORKPIECE BY MEANS OF CONFOCAL DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

A method for controlled machining of a workpiece includes focusing a laser light beam on a target point of the workpiece to generate a laser focus point. An optical distance measuring device gathers measuring data to determine a distance between the target point and a laser target optics. The workpi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for controlled machining of a workpiece includes focusing a laser light beam on a target point of the workpiece to generate a laser focus point. An optical distance measuring device gathers measuring data to determine a distance between the target point and a laser target optics. The workpiece is positioned in relation to the laser focus point based on the distance measuring data gathered. The distance measuring device is a confocal optical distance measuring device having a measuring light source for generating a measuring light and having a variable-focal-length measuring lens system. The focal length of the variable-focal-length measuring lens system is varied over time to gather distance measuring data at different focal length values of the variable-focal-length measuring lens system. A device for controlled machining includes a laser light source, a laser target optics, a distance measuring device, a positioning device, and an evaluation and control unit.
