Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for laser processing coated sheets according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a method is already known from DE 44 07 190 AI.
- the coating material has a significantly lower boiling point than the melting point of the sheet material. This results in explosion-like evaporation of coating material during the laser welding of such sheets in an overlap joint, which severely impair the quality of the connection.
- spacers to create narrow gaps between the sheets into which the evaporated coating material can escape.
- Suitable crater-shaped spacers can be produced according to JP 11-047967 by laser bombardment of the surface.
- knurled spacers can be produced by means of a laser scanner device. P801721 / DE / 1
- the object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the processing time required for producing the spacers and at least to maintain, preferably improve, the processing quality.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that the laser beam is directed onto the surface by means of a scanner device.
- a scanner device is a particularly fast and flexible steel deflection device, for example a mirror system (comprising at least one pivotable mirror which can be controlled on one or more axes) or also acousto-optical modulators.
- a laser beam is directed onto the processing surface by means of a rigid lens system.
- the lens system For the transition to a second processing surface, the lens system must be moved relative to the component, during which the laser must be switched off.
- the position and arrangement of the topography changes according to the invention are freely programmable within the processing area of the laser scanner.
- the laser scanner does not have to be positioned over the individual topography changes, but can advantageously be guided on an optimized path between the topography changes.
- the laser beam is not focused on the surface.
- the focus is preferably at a distance from the surface of the sheet metal to be processed such that the irradiation area of the laser on the surface exceeds its focus area by at least 50 percent, better 200 percent.
- the entire processing area is covered by moving the irradiation area with minimal deflection of the laser beam.
- Such surface heating smoothes out the melting process of the coating and sheet metal and favors the formation of suitable topography changes.
- the laser beam generates the minimum P801721 / DE / 1
- the laser beam is guided by the scanner device in such a way that it describes a narrowing spiral around the center of its processing surface. This enables smoother melting and cooling processes, particularly in the case of machining, and thus the formation of a topography change in the form of a uniformly contoured elevation.
- At least one further sheet is brought into contact with the at least one coated sheet in such a way that the at least one outstanding change in topography causes the formation of at least one gap between the at least two sheets, and that the at least two Sheets are welded to one another in the region of the at least one gap in such a way that evaporation products occurring in the process can escape into the at least one gap.
- the possibility of escape for the evaporation products ensures a significantly higher quality of the weld seam.
- the at least two sheets are welded to one another in such a way that the resulting weld seam at least partially welds over the previously generated at least one topography change.
- any such change in topography represents a violation of the coating, since this evaporates as a result of the laser radiation and the bare sheet metal material remains.
- a zinc coating in automobile construction in particular serves as corrosion protection. Every injury can represent a corrosion germ.
- a weld seam also represents such an injury, but it is absolutely necessary for the connection. By pulling the weld seam over the topography changes and at least partially replacing them, the number of possible corrosion nuclei is reduced and the risk of corrosion is thus reduced.
- the shape of the topography changes is important for a subsequent corrosion protection treatment, in particular galvanization: According to the invention, a uniformly contoured mountain is formed; according to JP 11-047967, a crater is formed.
- a mountain has a smaller surface than one from the same The amount of material formed on the crater and thus a smaller surface to attack against corrosion.
- a mountain can be galvanized on all sides between two sheets.
- a crater is covered by the sheet on top and cannot be galvanized on the inside. Moisture can get into the interior of the crater during the joining of the sheets and the change in topography becomes a corrosion nucleus.
- a coated sheet is aligned, a scanner device is moved evenly over it and directs a laser beam successively onto a plurality of processing surfaces.
- the scanner device consists of a two-dimensional swiveling computer-controlled mirror system.
- the scanner device is about 320 mm from the surface of the sheet, the laser focus is about 20 mm in front of the surface. Defocusing the laser beam results in a flat and uniform heating of the processing area. This results in a more uniform evaporation of the coating and the formation of a topography change in the form of an evenly contoured mountain.
- a second sheet is fed and aligned, and then both are pressed together and welded together.
- two coated sheets are aligned at a distance from one another.
- a scanner facility is evenly informed about it and directs a NEN laser beam successively on several processing areas.
- the scanner device consists of a two-dimensionally swiveling computer-controlled mirror system.
- the scanner device is about 305 mm from the surface of a sheet, the laser focus is about 4-7 mm in front of the surface.
- the laser beam is guided by the scanner device in such a way that it describes a narrowing spiral around the center of its processing surface. Defocusing the laser beam results in a flat and uniform heating of the processing area.
- the method according to the invention proves to be particularly suitable for the laser welding of coated metal sheets in the automotive industry.
- Corrosion protection can also be improved by the improved shape of the topography changes and by guiding the weld seam over at least some of the topography changes.
- the invention is not only limited to the exemplary embodiments described above, but rather can be transferred to others.
- the scanner device it is conceivable for the scanner device to be formed by acousto-optical modulators instead of by a mirror system. It is also possible to move the components under a stationary scanner instead of passing the laser scanner over the component surface. If necessary, scanner and component can perform a mutually coordinated movement.
- the distance of the scanner device from the sheet and the degree of defocusing are not mandatory and can be adapted if necessary, for example to the laser power or to the material of the sheet and / or coating. In addition, it may be advantageous to appropriately vary the laser power during the irradiation.
