[0002] With the development of laser technology, it is mainly used for cutting and welding in the field of materials processing. At the same time, due to its high energy density, lasers can also be used for localized heating of materials, enabling material removal and processing.
[0003] During laser engraving, the laser focus position can easily shift due to slight changes in material surface properties or environmental conditions. If the focus position cannot be detected and adjusted in real time, it can lead to decreased processing accuracy and even processing defects. Laser processing results are affected by multiple parameters. In practical applications, due to the lack of efficient data processing and feedback mechanisms, parameter adjustments are often delayed or inaccurate, resulting in inconsistent processing effects and a high scrap rate.
[0004] Traditional feedback control systems are slow to adjust the focal position and parameters, making it difficult to meet the high-speed, high-precision requirements of laser processing. During processing, the focal position may change, but the feedback control system cannot adjust in time, leading to a decline in processing quality. Therefore, improving the precision of laser processing has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To further illustrate the technical solution of this application, specific embodiments are described below.
[0023] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for optimizing the precision of fiber-coupled laser engraving provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the above method includes the following steps S101 to S105.
[0025] S101. Obtain the laser focus position during the laser engraving process, as well as the corresponding material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation values.
[0026] The laser focal point is the point where the laser beam is focused during processing. It's understood that only at the focal point is the laser's energy density high enough to precisely carve, cut, or perform other processing operations on the material. Changes in the focal point directly affect the quality and precision of the processing.
[0027] As an example, and not a limitation, high-frequency sampling technology is used to monitor changes in the focal point position in real time by installing high-precision position sensors, such as focusing lens position sensors or reflective position sensors, on the optical path of the laser processing equipment. These sensors can acquire focal point position data at extremely high frequencies (e.g., thousands of times per second or even higher), thereby accurately tracking minute shifts in the focal point.
[0028] Surface roughness refers to the degree of microscopic unevenness on a material surface, usually quantified by roughness values. In laser processing, surface roughness reflects the smoothness of the material surface at the microscopic scale. Higher surface roughness may mean that there are more microscopic protrusions and depressions on the material surface, which can affect the interaction between the laser and the material, and thus affect the processing results.
[0029] As an example, and not a limitation, optical sensors, such as confocal microscopes and laser scanning probes, are used to perform non-contact measurements on material surfaces. These sensors emit laser beams and receive light signals reflected from the material surface. By analyzing information such as the intensity and phase of the reflected light, the surface roughness value of the material can be calculated. During laser engraving, surface roughness data of the processed area is acquired in real time to promptly understand changes in the material surface condition.
[0030] Temperature fluctuation refers to the deviation of the material surface temperature or the ambient temperature during processing. In laser processing, laser energy causes localized increases in material temperature, while changes in ambient temperature also affect the processing. Temperature fluctuations can impact the physical properties of the material, the propagation characteristics of the laser, and the performance of the processing equipment.
[0031] As an example, and not a limitation, thermal sensors, such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are placed around the processing area and near the material surface to monitor temperature changes in real time. These sensors convert temperature signals into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to a data acquisition system for processing and analysis. By comprehensively analyzing data from multiple temperature monitoring points, temperature fluctuations during the processing can be accurately assessed.
[0032] Through high-precision sensors and advanced measurement technology, minute changes in the focal position, subtle differences in material surface roughness, and minute temperature fluctuations can be accurately measured. This precise data provides a reliable basis for accurately judging the processing status and enabling precise control, thus helping to improve processing accuracy and quality stability.
[0033] S102. Determine the laser focus offset parameters based on the material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation values.
[0034] Laser focus offset parameters are parameters used to describe the direction and offset value of the laser focus position deviating from the ideal position. They include offset direction and offset value. The offset direction indicates whether the focus is offset upward, downward, leftward, rightward, or in other directions, while the offset value quantitatively describes the distance of focus offset.
[0035] As an example rather than a limitation, the laser focus offset parameters corresponding to the material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation values can be obtained by querying historical data, or the corresponding laser focus offset parameters can be calculated using a preset calculation formula.
[0036] In one implementation, the laser focus offset parameter is determined based on the material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation value, including: determining whether the material surface roughness exceeds a preset roughness threshold; if the material surface roughness exceeds the preset roughness threshold, then looking up the temperature fluctuation value in a preset lookup table to obtain the initial laser focus offset parameter, the preset lookup table being used to represent the correspondence between the temperature fluctuation value and the initial laser focus offset parameter; and correcting the initial laser focus offset parameter using a preset correction model to obtain the laser focus offset parameter.
[0037] A preset lookup table is a data table pre-built based on historical laser engraving data, used to represent the correspondence between temperature fluctuation values and initial laser focus offset parameters. By querying the preset lookup table, the initial laser focus offset parameters can be quickly obtained based on the actual measured temperature fluctuation values.
[0038] For example, the preset calibration model is represented as: ; Wherein, ΔF represents the offset value; ΔF0 represents the initial offset value; ΔR represents the change in material surface roughness; ΔT represents the temperature fluctuation value; E represents other environmental data vectors; and H represents historical processing data. Indicates the direction of offset; The initial offset direction is indicated by k; the sensitivity gain is k, and time is t.
[0039] Among them, α is a confidence coefficient (range 0.6~0.8) summarized from historical data, which reflects the reliability of ΔF0 and can be set according to the actual situation.
[0040] , w R The roughness weighting coefficient, w T R0 is the reference roughness, where is the temperature weighting factor. β As an environmentally sensitive factor, The coefficient of thermal expansion of the material. The baseline scale factor (e.g., 1 μm) can be set according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] g ( H )=avg(Δ F hist )⋅ e - λ ⋅∣Δ R −Δ R hist | (Exponentially decaying weighted average of historical offset values) γ The historical data credibility weight represents the historical processed data.g ( H The strength of the influence on the final offset value, for example, γ=0.3 means that historical data contributes 30% weight, which can be set according to the actual situation.
[0042] h ( E )=∑ i ( E i ⋅ c i (Environment Vector) E With coefficient matrix c (dot product) δ The environmental disturbance compensation weight represents the environmental disturbance. h ( E Compensation intensity (such as vibration, etc.).
[0043] Suppose that during the processing of a metal sheet, the surface roughness measured by an optical sensor is 2.5 micrometers, exceeding the preset threshold range of 1.0 to 2.0 micrometers. In this case, combined with temperature fluctuation values (e.g., a fluctuation offset of 5 degrees Celsius, exceeding the normal range of 2 degrees Celsius), it can be preliminarily determined that the initial deviation of the focus offset is likely due to thermal expansion, with the offset direction being upward and the offset value approximately 1.83 μm. This multi-parameter analysis approach can more accurately pinpoint the root cause of the problem and improve processing stability.
[0044] The corrected direction and value of the laser focus offset can more accurately reflect the actual offset of the laser focus, providing a more precise basis for subsequent focus position adjustment.
[0045] By determining whether the material surface roughness exceeds a preset roughness threshold, it is possible to quickly identify any abnormalities in the material surface condition, allowing for timely problem detection and appropriate measures. Using a preset lookup table, the initial laser focus offset parameters can be quickly retrieved based on temperature fluctuations, improving the efficiency of parameter determination and saving time. Correcting the initial laser focus offset parameters using a preset calibration model comprehensively considers the influence of multiple factors, resulting in more accurate laser focus offset parameters. This provides a more accurate basis for subsequent focus position adjustments, thereby improving the precision and quality of laser processing. This step dynamically adjusts and corrects the laser focus offset parameters based on real-time changes in material surface roughness and temperature fluctuations, enabling the laser processing process to better adapt to different processing conditions and environmental changes, ensuring processing stability and reliability.
[0046] S103. Generate corresponding laser focus correction parameters based on laser focus offset parameters using a preset adjustment strategy.
[0047] The preset adjustment strategy defines how to convert the direction and value of the offset into specific correction measures to adjust the laser focus position.
[0048] Laser focus correction parameters are specific parameters used to guide laser equipment in adjusting the focus position. These parameters include information such as the adjustment direction and offset value, and can be directly used to control the focus adjustment mechanism of the laser equipment to correct focus offset problems.
[0049] As an example, and not a limitation, it is assumed that there is a fixed proportional relationship between the offset value and the correction parameter, for example, correction parameter = offset value × scaling factor. The scaling factor can be preset based on experiments and experience. If the scaling factor is 1.2 and the focus offset value is 0.3 mm, then the correction parameter is 0.3 × 1.2 = 0.36 mm.
[0050] As an example, and not a limitation, a calibration lookup table is pre-established, listing the calibration parameters corresponding to different offset values. During actual adjustments, the corresponding calibration parameter is found in the lookup table based on the current focus offset value. For example, the lookup table specifies that when the offset value is 0.3 mm, the calibration parameter is 0.35 mm.
[0051] For example, in the field of laser processing, when correcting initial deviation data for focus offset, a pre-established correction comparison table can be used for preliminary comparison. Taking the processing of an aluminum alloy sheet as an example, suppose the initial deviation data indicates that the focus offset direction may be upward, with an offset value of 0.3 mm. By referring to the table, it can be found that this offset may be related to the thermal expansion of the material surface, and the direction value is initially determined to be upward.
[0052] In one possible implementation, assuming the surface roughness increases from 1.5 micrometers to 2.2 micrometers during processing, while the ambient temperature fluctuates by 3 degrees Celsius, analysis using a reference table suggests that the temperature fluctuation may cause slight material deformation, thus affecting the focal point position. Therefore, the initial orientation value remains upward. This analytical approach helps to more accurately pinpoint the root cause of the offset.
[0053] For example, when acquiring historical data related to material surface properties, the database can be used to retrieve records of surface roughness and focal point offset from past processing of similar aluminum alloy sheets. Assuming the offset value corresponding to a similar roughness change in historical data is 0.25 mm, while the current real-time data shows 0.3 mm, a reference offset value of 0.28 mm can be obtained through comparison. This method of comparing historical and real-time data provides a reliable basis for subsequent corrections.
[0054] S104. Correct the laser focus position according to the laser focus correction parameters to obtain the target laser focus position.
[0055] The target laser focus position refers to the ideal position that the laser focus should reach after calibration, which can ensure the accuracy and quality of laser processing.
[0056] As an example, and not a limitation, when laser cutting thin steel plates, if the focal spot is misaligned, it may result in uneven cut edges. The laser focal spot correction parameter obtained in S103 is adjusted downwards by 0.2 mm. In S104, the drive unit adjusts the lens position according to this parameter, moving the focal spot downwards by 0.2 mm. After adjustment, the sensor measures the focal spot position, confirming that it has reached the target position, thus ensuring cutting quality.
[0057] As an example, and not a limitation, when laser engraving plastic parts, focus misalignment can cause inconsistent engraving depth. Assuming a correction parameter of 0.1 mm upwards, the focus adjustment mechanism adjusts accordingly, and a high-precision position sensor measures to ensure the focus accurately reaches the target position, resulting in a uniform engraving depth.
[0058] The laser focus position is dynamically adjusted according to the laser focus correction parameters to adapt to different processing conditions and material properties, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment, achieving precise control of the laser focus position, ensuring the accuracy of laser processing, and thus improving product quality.
[0059] S105. Determine the corresponding target laser processing parameters based on the target laser focus position.
[0060] The target laser processing parameters include laser power and processing speed. These parameters are used to instruct the laser engraving equipment to perform laser engraving on the target workpiece.
[0061] Laser power refers to the output power of a laser beam, usually measured in watts (W). The magnitude of laser power directly affects the intensity of the interaction between the laser and the material, thus affecting the processing results, such as cutting speed and engraving depth.
[0062] Processing speed refers to the speed at which the laser beam moves relative to the workpiece during laser processing, usually measured in meters per minute (m / min). The processing speed affects both processing quality and efficiency, and needs to be adjusted according to the specific processing task and material properties.
[0063] As an example, and not a limitation, the laser power and processing speed range corresponding to the target laser focus position are searched in the parameter matching database. Based on real-time monitored environmental factors (such as temperature and vibration frequency), the found laser power and processing speed are dynamically adjusted to adapt to the current processing environment. Combined with real-time feedback on the processing status, the target laser processing parameters are finally determined and sent to the laser engraving equipment for laser engraving of the target workpiece.
[0064] By determining the laser power and processing speed that are precisely matched to the target focal position, processing quality and efficiency can be significantly improved, and processing defects caused by parameter mismatch can be reduced.
[0065] In one embodiment, generating corresponding laser focus correction parameters based on laser focus offset parameters using a preset adjustment strategy includes: acquiring vibration interference data during the laser engraving process, the vibration interference data being related to the vibration frequency; determining initial laser focus correction parameters based on the vibration interference data and laser focus offset parameters, the initial laser focus correction parameters including an initial correction value and an initial correction direction; determining whether the initial laser focus correction parameters meet preset correction conditions; if the initial laser focus correction parameters do not meet the preset correction conditions, then fine-tuning the initial laser focus correction parameters until they meet the preset correction conditions to obtain the laser focus correction parameters.
[0066] Vibration interference data refers to data changes caused by vibrations generated by the external environment or the equipment itself during laser engraving. These vibrations may affect the stability of the laser focus position, thereby affecting the processing quality.
[0067] As an example and not a limitation, the vibration during the laser engraving process is monitored in real time using a high-precision vibration sensor to obtain vibration interference data (related to the vibration frequency).
[0068] The initial laser focus correction parameters are parameters used to correct the laser focus position, which are initially determined based on vibration interference data. They include the initial correction value and the initial correction direction.
[0069] Preset calibration conditions are pre-defined standards or requirements used to determine whether the initial laser focus calibration parameters are reasonable. These conditions may include requirements for the stability of the calibrated focus position, machining accuracy, and other aspects.
[0070] As an example, and not a limitation, it is assumed that there is a linear relationship between vibration interference data and laser focus offset parameters. By collecting a large amount of sample data (including vibration interference data and corresponding focus offset parameters), a linear equation is fitted using a linear regression algorithm. Based on this linear equation, combined with new vibration interference data and focus offset parameters, the initial laser focus correction parameters can be calculated.
[0071] As an example rather than a limitation, vibration interference data and laser focus offset parameters are used as input variables, and initial laser focus correction parameters are used as output variables. Fuzzy logic rules are used to describe the relationship between them. By establishing a fuzzy rule base (such as "if the vibration frequency is high and the focus offset value is large, then the initial correction value is large, and the direction is opposite to the focus offset direction"), fuzzy reasoning is performed on the input data to obtain the initial laser focus correction parameters.
[0072] Fuzzy logic rules are a logical reasoning method used to handle uncertain and fuzzy information. It fuzzifies the input variables, using linguistic variables (such as "high", "large", "small", etc.) to describe the range of values of the input variables, and then performs reasoning based on predefined fuzzy rules to finally obtain the result of the output variable.
[0073] Fuzzy logic rules typically consist of a series of "if-then" statements describing the relationship between input and output variables. Each rule includes a premise (if part) and a conclusion (then part). The premise provides a fuzzy description of the input variables, while the conclusion provides a fuzzy description of the output variables. For example, a possible fuzzy logic rule would be: "If the vibration frequency is high and the focus offset value is large, then the initial correction value is large, and the initial correction direction is opposite to the focus offset direction." For example, the specific numerical values of the input variables (vibration frequency and focus offset value) are converted into fuzzy sets (e.g., low, medium, high). Based on the fuzzified input variables, all matching fuzzy rules are identified. Reasoning calculations are performed on the matching rules to obtain the fuzzy results of the output variables. The fuzzy results are then converted into specific numerical values (e.g., initial correction direction and correction value).
[0074] Assume the current vibration frequency is 55Hz (high), the focus offset value is 0.2 mm (large), and the focus offset direction is upward. According to the above fuzzy rule base, the matched rule is: "If the vibration frequency is high and the focus offset value is large, then the initial correction value is large, and the direction is opposite to the focus offset direction." Therefore, the initial correction direction is downward, and the initial correction value is large (the specific value can be set according to the actual situation, such as 0.3 mm).
[0075] The initial calibration parameters are precisely determined based on vibration interference data and further optimized through fine-tuning to ensure the accuracy of the laser focus position, thereby improving processing quality. Simultaneously, it can respond in real-time to different vibration interference conditions, dynamically adjusting the calibration parameters to ensure the laser engraving equipment maintains excellent processing performance under various environmental conditions.
[0076] For example, in the field of laser processing, a preliminary comparison between the direction value and the offset value of the focus deviation can be achieved using a pre-established lookup table. Suppose that when processing a thin stainless steel sheet, the initial detection shows that the focus deviation is downwards, with an offset value of 0.2 mm. The lookup table records similar deviations that may be related to localized thermal deformation in the processing area, and the initial correction parameter can be set to adjust upwards by 0.2 mm. This method provides a basic reference for subsequent corrections.
[0077] For example, real-time acquisition of dynamic change data in the processing area can be achieved through high-precision sensors to obtain information on surface morphology changes and environmental interference.
[0078] In one possible implementation, during processing, the surface flatness was found to decrease from 2.0 micrometers to 1.8 micrometers, while a slight increase in the environmental vibration frequency was detected. By extracting vibration-related wave characteristics, it was initially determined that the offset might be affected by external interference, and the correction parameters needed to be adjusted in direction. The offset value was tentatively set at 0.1 millimeters. This real-time acquisition provided a dynamic basis for correction.
[0079] For example, when performing data fusion based on the characteristics of the laser equipment's adjustment mechanism, multi-dimensional processing tools can be used to analyze the characteristics of environmental interference fluctuations. Assuming that vibration interference and temperature changes work together, and the processed data exceeds a preset threshold range of 0.15 mm, the correction parameters need to be adjusted a second time, ultimately determined to be adjusted upwards by 0.25 mm. This multi-dimensional processing ensures the comprehensiveness of the correction parameters.
[0080] In one embodiment, determining the corresponding target laser processing parameters based on the target laser focus position includes: selecting an initial laser processing parameter range from a preset parameter matching table based on the target laser focus position; performing simulated laser engraving based on the initial laser processing parameter range to obtain simulation results; comparing the simulation results with standard results to obtain a laser engraving matching degree; and determining the initial laser processing parameters whose laser engraving matching degree exceeds a preset matching degree threshold as target laser processing parameters.
[0081] The preset parameter matching table is a pre-established table that contains the possible range of laser processing parameters corresponding to different target laser focus positions. These parameters mainly include laser power and processing speed. It is based on a large amount of experimental data and experience, and can provide a reference for parameter selection under different processing conditions.
[0082] Selecting the initial laser processing parameter range refers to finding the approximate range of laser power and processing speed corresponding to the currently determined target laser focus position in a preset parameter matching table. For example, if the target focus position is 3mm away from the workpiece surface, the corresponding laser power range may be 800-1000W, and the processing speed range may be 4-6m / min.
[0083] Using computer simulation software, the laser engraving process is simulated according to different parameter combinations within the initial laser processing parameter range. The simulation software can simulate the interaction between the laser and the material, the material removal process, and the final engraving effect. After the simulation is completed, the software will output the corresponding simulation results, including indicators such as engraving depth, width, surface roughness, and processing efficiency. These results can intuitively reflect the laser engraving effect under different parameter combinations.
[0084] The standard result is a predefined ideal laser engraving effect, including expected engraving depth, width, surface roughness, and other indicators, representing the optimal processing quality requirements. The simulated results are compared one by one with the standard result to calculate the laser engraving matching degree (for example, converting the simulated and standard results into image form and using image similarity algorithms to calculate the matching degree, i.e., extracting image feature points, such as SIFT, SURF, etc., and measuring image similarity by the degree of feature point matching). This matching degree measures how close the simulated result is to the standard result, usually expressed as a percentage; for example, a 90% matching degree indicates that the simulated result is relatively close to the standard result.
[0085] For example, when machining a stainless steel part, a laser power range of 800-1000W and a processing speed range of 4-6m / min are selected from a preset parameter matching table based on the target focal position. Then, multiple parameter combinations within these ranges are selected for simulated laser engraving. The simulation results show that when the laser power is 900W and the processing speed is 5m / min, the engraving depth is 0.5mm and the surface roughness is 1.2μm; while the standard result requires an engraving depth of 0.5mm and a surface roughness of 1.0μm. Calculations show that the laser engraving matching degree of this simulation result is 85%. If the preset matching degree threshold is 80%, then the matching degree of this parameter combination exceeds the threshold; therefore, a laser power of 900W and a processing speed of 5m / min can be determined as the target laser processing parameters.
[0086] In one embodiment, the method further includes: determining whether the temperature fluctuation data and vibration interference data meet the corresponding preset adjustment threshold; if the temperature fluctuation data and vibration interference data meet the corresponding preset adjustment threshold, adjusting the initial laser processing parameters according to the temperature fluctuation data and vibration interference data to obtain the target laser processing parameters.
[0087] The preset adjustment threshold is a pre-defined standard value used to determine whether temperature fluctuation data and vibration interference data need adjustment. When the actual detected data exceeds this threshold, the current processing conditions are considered unstable, and the laser processing parameters need to be adjusted to ensure processing quality.
[0088] Real-time monitoring of temperature fluctuations and vibration interference during laser processing is performed using temperature and vibration sensors to acquire accurate data. The monitored temperature fluctuations and vibration interference data are compared to corresponding preset adjustment thresholds to determine if they exceed the thresholds. If both the temperature fluctuations and vibration interference data meet the corresponding preset adjustment thresholds (i.e., exceed the thresholds), then the initial laser processing parameters are considered to require adjustment; otherwise, the initial laser processing parameters remain unchanged.
[0089] Based on temperature fluctuation data and vibration interference data exceeding thresholds, the initial laser processing parameters are adjusted according to certain adjustment rules or algorithms. For example, if the temperature fluctuation is large, the laser power is appropriately reduced to avoid material overheating; if the vibration interference is strong, the processing speed is appropriately reduced to improve processing stability. The adjusted laser processing parameters are the target laser processing parameters, which are applied to the laser engraving equipment for subsequent laser processing.
[0090] In one embodiment, the laser power satisfies the following formula: ; in, P 0 represents the initial laser power. Here, ΔT is the temperature sensitivity coefficient, and ΔT is the temperature fluctuation value. Let Δf be the vibration coupling coefficient, and Δf be the change in vibration frequency. A is the frequency reference constant, and A is the vibration acceleration amplitude (measured by a triaxial accelerometer, in gravitational acceleration g).
[0091] I understand. This indicates the effect of temperature on energy absorption efficiency, used to compensate for laser power loss caused by material thermal effects. It can be determined by measuring the minimum effective power under fixed vibration conditions at different ΔT values. Different materials will yield different results. The expressions are different. Take stainless steel as an example: =2.3 × thickness − 0.7 (thickness unit: mm); 1mm stainless steel sheet: =2.3×1−0.7≈5.0W / ℃.
[0092] I understand. To compensate for the interference of vibration on energy transfer and to compensate for the energy loss caused by the focus shift due to vibration, it is possible to determine the power loss under different Δf conditions by fixing the vibration conditions. Different materials can be fitted with the appropriate values. The expressions are different. Take stainless steel as an example: =15 + 0.5 × yield strength (strength unit: MPa); 304 stainless steel (yield strength 205MPa): =15+0.5×205≈25.0W.
[0093] In one embodiment, the processing speed satisfies the following formula: ; in, The initial processing speed, Let ΔT represent the sensitivity of thermal deformation to temperature fluctuations, where ΔT is the temperature fluctuation value. Δf represents the intensity of the vibration's influence on the stability of the focal point, Δf represents the change in vibration frequency, and A represents the amplitude of vibration acceleration (measured by a triaxial accelerometer, in gravitational acceleration g).
[0094] I understand. This indicates the temperature requirement for suppressing thermal deformation, used to reduce speed to control heat accumulation deformation, and is calibrated by the material's thermal conductivity, for example, 304 stainless steel (16 W / (m·K)): =0.005×16=0.08m / (min·℃²).
[0095] I understand. This indicates the need to suppress vibration for motion stability. It is used to reduce velocity to suppress the risk of vibration instability. It can be measured at different Δf values by fixing the temperature. For example, the vibration transfer function is: KV = 0.1 / system damping ratio m / (min·Hz).
[0096] By monitoring temperature and vibration changes in real time during processing and adjusting laser processing parameters promptly according to actual conditions, the equipment can quickly adapt to different processing environments and conditions, ensuring the stability and quality of the processing process. This effectively reduces processing errors, improves processing accuracy and surface quality, lowers scrap rates, and increases production efficiency.
[0097] In one embodiment, the method further includes: determining the laser focus offset level based on the material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation value, wherein the laser focus offset level includes: low, medium and high; determining the corresponding offset correction coefficient based on the laser offset level, wherein the offset correction coefficients are different for different levels; and adjusting the laser power or processing speed sequentially based on the offset correction coefficients to obtain optimized laser processing parameters.
[0098] Set the ranges for material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation values to classify different levels. For example, divide the roughness range into three levels: low (e.g., 0-1μm), medium (1-2μm), and high (2-3μm), and divide the temperature fluctuation range into three levels: low (e.g., 0-2℃), medium (2-4℃), and high (4-6℃).
[0099] The laser focus offset level is determined by comprehensively considering the range of material surface roughness and temperature fluctuation. For example, if the material surface roughness is 1.5 μm (medium) and the temperature fluctuation is 3℃ (medium), then the laser focus offset level is determined to be medium.
[0100] A pre-defined offset correction factor table is used to specify the offset correction factor corresponding to different levels. For example: Low-level offset: The offset correction factor is 1.0 (indicating no correction or minimal correction).
[0101] Intermediate offset: The offset correction factor is 1.2 (indicating that a certain degree of correction is required).
[0102] Advanced offset: The offset correction factor is 1.5 (indicating that a larger degree of correction is required).
[0103] Based on actual processing needs and experience, determine the order in which to adjust the laser power or processing speed. Generally, it's advisable to adjust one parameter first, observe the effect, and then adjust the other parameter.
[0104] The initial laser power or processing speed can be adjusted using an offset correction factor. For example, if the initial laser power is 1000W, and the offset correction factor is 1.2, the adjusted laser power will be 1200W; if the initial processing speed is 5m / min, and the offset correction factor is 1.2, the adjusted processing speed will be 6m / min.
[0105] The adjusted laser power and processing speed are applied to actual processing to observe the processing effect and verify whether the adjusted parameters meet the processing quality requirements. If necessary, the parameters can be further fine-tuned until the optimal processing effect is achieved.
[0106] Determining the laser focus offset level based on material surface roughness and temperature fluctuations allows for targeted adjustments to laser power or processing speed, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of these adjustments. The adjusted laser processing parameters better adapt to actual processing conditions, reducing processing errors and improving processing quality.
[0107] Assuming that during the machining of a metal part, the surface roughness is detected to be 1.8 μm (medium) and the temperature fluctuation is 3.5℃ (medium), the laser focus offset level is determined to be medium. According to the preset offset correction coefficient table, the offset correction coefficient corresponding to medium offset is 1.2. The initial laser power is 800W, and the initial processing speed is 4 m / min. Following the adjustment sequence, the laser power is first adjusted: 800W × 1.2 = 960W; then the processing speed is adjusted: 4 m / min × 1.2 = 4.8 m / min. The adjusted laser power of 960W and processing speed of 4.8 m / min are applied to actual machining, and the processing effect is observed. If the processing quality is good and meets the requirements, these parameters are determined to be the optimized laser processing parameters. If further improvement is found, the parameters can be fine-tuned until the optimal effect is achieved.
[0108] In one embodiment, based on optimized laser processing parameters, configuration information related to laser power and processing speed is extracted from a preset parameter matching database. Adapted update scheme data is obtained by monitoring the current state of the configuration, and the adjusted configuration state information is determined. Based on the adjusted configuration state information, real-time operating status data is acquired and dynamically compared according to changes in the environment. If the changes exceed a preset threshold range, the parameter adjustment scheme is fine-tuned to obtain an adapted combination of operating parameters. Using the adapted combination of operating parameters, data feedback tools are used to record state changes during processing, continuously tracking the degree of matching between changes and laser power and processing speed to obtain final operating status confirmation data.
[0109] The parameter matching database stores a large amount of historical configuration information related to laser power and processing speed, which can provide a reference for the current equipment status. Assuming the processing of a thin stainless steel sheet, the optimized parameter combination is a processing speed of 2.8 m / min and a laser power of 950 watts. The corresponding configuration information extracted from the database shows that the current load range for similar parameters is 20 to 25 amps, while the current equipment status shows a load of 23 amps, which is within the normal range. Through comparison, it is initially determined that no major adjustments are needed, but load fluctuations should be monitored.
[0110] In one possible implementation, assuming the updated data indicates a fine-tuning of the laser power to 960 watts while maintaining a processing speed of 2.8 meters per minute, the embedded control tool generates a corresponding digital signal and sends it to the device control unit, ensuring synchronized updates. After real-time adjustment, the configuration status information shows a device response time of less than 0.5 seconds, indicating smooth command transmission and execution. This method ensures the accuracy of parameter adjustments.
[0111] For example, when acquiring and dynamically comparing operational status data from real-time monitoring tools, the impact of environmental changes on processing can be monitored. Suppose that during processing, the monitoring tool detects a 3-degree Celsius increase in ambient temperature, causing localized heat accumulation in the processing area, exceeding a preset threshold of 2 degrees Celsius. In this case, a fine-tuning mechanism is triggered, initially determining that the processing speed needs to be reduced to 2.7 meters per minute to decrease heat accumulation. After dynamic comparison, the new parameter combination is confirmed as the optimal solution. This real-time feedback and adjustment mechanism can effectively cope with sudden environmental disturbances.
[0112] For example, when using data feedback tools to record changes in the processing state and continuously track the degree of matching, analysis can begin with the stability of the processed surface. Suppose that when processing thin stainless steel sheets, the feedback tool records surface roughness changes within 0.02 mm, and the matching degree with the current laser power of 960 watts and processing speed of 2.7 m / min reaches over 90%, indicating that the parameter combination highly matches the processing requirements. Through continuous tracking, the final operational status confirmation data shows that the equipment is operating smoothly. This recording and tracking method provides a reliable basis for subsequent parameter optimization.
[0113] In one possible implementation, assuming a slight increase in the current environmental vibration frequency, historical data reveals that reducing the processing speed by 0.1 m / min under similar conditions can effectively reduce the impact of vibration. Therefore, the speed is automatically fine-tuned to 2.6 m / min while maintaining constant power. If the thickness of the processed material changes slightly, the corresponding parameter range in the database can be used as a reference to help determine whether a synchronous power adjustment is necessary. This multi-dimensional analysis ensures the comprehensiveness and adaptability of parameter adjustments, providing strong support for the stability of the processing.
[0114] In one embodiment, based on stability coefficients and relevant data on process defects, corresponding constraints are retrieved from a pre-set risk threshold database. For focus control requirements during laser processing, a data comparison tool is used to perform a preliminary analysis of the deviation between the current focus position and the parameter combination, obtaining an initial assessment result of focus offset. Using this initial assessment result and considering dynamic calibration requirements, a parameter adjustment tool is used to fine-tune the focus position. If the deviation exceeds the pre-set risk threshold range, iterative optimization logic is triggered, and a general calculation tool is used to repeatedly correct the parameter combination to determine suitable focus control data. Based on the suitable focus control data, and targeting the business objectives of processing control, a real-time monitoring tool continuously tracks the parameter matching status during laser processing. If a mismatch is detected between the parameter combination and process defect-related indicators, correction rules are retrieved from a pre-established calibration rule library to determine the final parameter adjustment range. Using the parameter adjustment range and the objectives determined by the scheme, a data integration tool is used to comprehensively compare the adjusted focus position and parameter combination. For the stability requirements of laser processing, the final processing control scheme is retrieved from the database to determine a complete configuration suitable for the current scenario.
[0115] For example, in the field of laser processing, the stability management of focus control requirements can be explored from multiple perspectives. Deviations in the focus position directly affect processing accuracy, thus requiring preliminary analysis using data comparison tools. Suppose that when processing a 2.5 mm thick aluminum plate, the current focus position deviates from the ideal position by 0.1 mm, while the preset risk threshold is 0.05 mm. In this case, an initial assessment result will be generated, determining that adjustment is needed.
[0116] Based on the initial evaluation results of the focus offset, and in accordance with the requirements of dynamic calibration, fine-tuning can be performed using parameter adjustment tools. Assuming the initial evaluation shows an offset of 0.1 mm, the focus position will be adjusted upwards by 0.05 mm according to preset rules as the first calibration, and the quality changes of the processed surface will be observed in real time. This fine-tuning method can gradually approach the ideal state, avoiding the instability risks caused by excessive adjustments at once.
[0117] When the deviation exceeds the risk threshold, iterative optimization logic is triggered. Assuming that after the first fine-tuning the focus offset is still 0.07 mm, exceeding the threshold range, multiple iterations of correction will be performed using general-purpose calculation tools. One possible implementation is to analyze historical processing data to find parameter combinations similar to the current scene, gradually adjusting the focus position until the offset is less than 0.05 mm, ultimately determining the appropriate focus control data. This iterative approach ensures the accuracy of the adjustments.
[0118] Suppose that during processing, a mismatch is detected between the focal position and the required processing depth, manifested as a processing depth deviation of 0.2 mm, exceeding the expected range. In this case, a correction rule is retrieved from the calibration rule base, determining that the focal position needs further fine-tuning by 0.03 mm, and simultaneously adjusting the laser power range. This continuous tracking mechanism can promptly detect potential problems.
[0119] Assuming the adjusted focus position offset is reduced to 0.02 mm and the machining depth meets requirements, the adjusted parameter combination will be compared with historical solutions in the database to confirm whether the current configuration is suitable for long-term machining needs. This comparison method ensures the comprehensiveness of parameter adjustments.
[0120] To ensure processing stability, the final processing control scheme can be determined by incorporating multi-dimensional data analysis. For example, if a slight increase in ambient temperature during aluminum plate processing might affect focal stability, relevant constraints can be extracted from the database, and the focal position can be fine-tuned to its optimal state while keeping other parameters constant. This comprehensive approach enhances the adaptability of the processing and ensures stability.
[0121] In one implementation, focus control parameters are acquired, which are generated in real time by the laser processing equipment during processing. Focus offset data and processing accuracy data are collected based on the focus control parameters. The focus offset data includes the offset direction and offset value. The focus offset data and processing accuracy data are stored in a pre-established historical database, which contains structured processing operation records indexed by time. It is determined whether the amount of data in the historical database has reached a preset threshold. If the preset threshold is reached, historical offset features and accuracy impact correlation data are extracted from the historical database. Based on the historical offset features and accuracy impact correlation data, the offset trend of the focus position and the corresponding parameter configuration in future processing tasks are determined.
[0122] Focus control parameters typically include focus position, offset value, and dynamic changes during the machining process. Using appropriate data acquisition tools, the direction and specific value of focus offset can be recorded in real time, while simultaneously acquiring relevant machining accuracy indicators, such as the flatness of the machined surface or the deviation of the cut width.
[0123] Assuming that when machining a 2.0 mm thick steel plate, focus offset data is recorded once per minute, including the offset direction being downward and the offset value being 0.08 mm. Simultaneously, machining accuracy data, such as the cut width deviation of 0.03 mm, is also recorded. This data is stored chronologically to form a structured operation log.
[0124] As an example, not a limitation, when determining whether the amount of historical database data has reached a preset threshold, a specific standard can be set, such as accumulating 1000 sets of processing data as a trigger condition. Assuming the current database has stored 1200 sets of data, it will automatically be determined that the threshold has been reached, thus initiating the data extraction process. From this, historical offset characteristics will be filtered out, such as offset values concentrated in the 0.05 to 0.10 mm range, and data related to the impact of accuracy, such as a significant increase in cut width deviation when the offset value is large. This judgment mechanism ensures the sufficiency and reliability of data analysis.
[0125] The extracted data suggests that the focus offset characteristics differ when processing different materials; for example, the offset is mostly upward when processing aluminum plates, while it is mostly downward when processing steel plates. Meanwhile, the correlation data regarding accuracy effects indicates that for every 0.02 mm increase in offset value, the processing accuracy deviation increases by 0.01 mm.
[0126] As an example, not a limitation, if historical data analysis reveals that the focus offset value tends to increase gradually after 5 hours of continuous processing, based on this pattern (assuming that a corresponding linear function can be fitted based on historical data), the potential offset range of the focus position in future processing tasks will be predicted, and corresponding parameter configurations will be recommended, such as adjusting the focus position by 0.04 mm in advance.
[0127] In one embodiment, based on pre-established processing operation records, fluctuation information related to processing stability is extracted from historical data. For the frequency portion of the fluctuation information exceeding a preset threshold, the corresponding focus control deviation value is obtained, and the correlation between the deviation value and processing stability is determined. If the correlation between the deviation value and processing stability is higher than the preset threshold, a new dynamic parameter configuration scheme is generated by adjusting the response logic in the feedback mechanism to obtain a parameter matching result suitable for the current processing environment. Using the parameter matching result, the focus control-related records in the calibration database are updated, and the updated parameter matching data is obtained to determine whether it meets the requirements of long-term operation. By comparing the updated parameter matching data with historical data, the response logic configuration in the calibration database is adjusted for the dynamic parameter portions that do not meet the requirements to obtain optimized dynamic control parameters.
[0128] Fluctuations in processing stability typically reflect abnormal changes in equipment during operation. These fluctuations may originate from minor deviations in focus control or changes in environmental conditions. For example, when processing thin steel sheets, hourly stability fluctuation data is extracted from historical data. It is found that the fluctuation frequency reaches 3 times per minute at certain times, exceeding the preset threshold of 2 times per minute. In this case, the corresponding focus control deviation value is further obtained and recorded as 0.05 mm. Analysis reveals that this deviation value is correlated with processing stability by 80%, exceeding the preset threshold of 60%, indicating that focus deviation is one of the main factors affecting stability.
[0129] In one implementation, a new dynamic parameter configuration is generated based on a deviation of 0.05 mm, adjusting the response speed of the focus control and the correction offset value. Assume the adjusted parameter configuration increases the focus correction frequency from once per minute to twice per minute, while setting the correction offset value to 0.03 mm. This configuration can respond to deviations more promptly, ensuring stability during the machining process.
[0130] Assuming the updated parameter matching data shows that the focus deviation has decreased from 0.05 mm to 0.02 mm, further assessment will be conducted to determine if it meets the requirements for long-term operation. By comparing with historical data, it was found that the updated data reduced the frequency of stability fluctuations by 30%, meeting the standards for long-term operation. This update mechanism can provide a more reliable reference for subsequent processing tasks.
[0131] If, under certain processing conditions, the response time of dynamic parameters is too long, causing focus deviations to fail to be corrected in a timely manner, the logic configuration will be optimized to shorten the response time from 5 seconds to 3 seconds. This adjustment improves the adaptability of the parameters and ensures real-time performance during the processing.
