US Patent:

20060102602, May 18, 2006
Filed:

Nov 17, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/990861
Inventors:

C. Brent Dane - Livermore CA, US
Fritz Harris - Rocklin CA, US
Joseph Taranowski - Livermore CA, US
Steven Honett - Pleasanton CA, US
Stewart Brown - Milpitas CA, US
Assignee:

METAL IMPROVEMENT COMPANY LLC - PARAMUS NJ
International Classification:

B23K 26/06
US Classification:

219121730
Abstract:

A laser energy delivery system includes a relay imaging system. Input optics arranged to receive the laser energy, a transmitting mirror having adjustable angle of incidence relative to the input optics, and a robot mounted optical assembly are configured to direct laser energy toward the movable target image plane. The laser energy follows an optical path including an essentially straight segment from the transmitting mirror to the receiving mirror, having a variable length and a variable angle relative to the input optics through air. Diagnostics on the processing head facilitate operation.
