The invention relates to a
water jet attitude detection and calibration device and method, and relates to the technical field of water-guided
laser processing and high-pressure
water jet cutting. The
water jet attitude detection and calibration device comprises an angle adjusting device for adjusting the angle of a
processing head; the detection module comprises two groups of correlation type photoelectric sensors, two correlation type photoelectric sensors are longitudinally distributed in each group, one group emits linear light along the X axis of the
machine tool, and the other group emits linear light along the Y axis of the
machine tool; when the correlation type
photoelectric sensor detects that the
light intensity reaches a preset
light intensity threshold value, a
signal is sent out; the value range of the
light intensity threshold value is 60%-90% of the initial light intensity; the position adjusting device enables the water jet to pass through two
machine tool Y-axis light along the
machine tool X-axis and enables the water jet to pass through two
machine tool X-axis linear light along the
machine tool Y-axis. The correlation type
photoelectric sensor is used for replacing the combination of a
CCD camera and a sharp mechanical structure, the reaction is more sensitive, the detection efficiency and the detection precision are higher, and the water jet attitude calibration device is suitable for multiple times of rapid water jet attitude calibration under the long-time operation scene of the water-guided
laser machine tool.
