Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of laser processing, in particular to a method for calibrating and debugging the optical path of a five-axis galvanometer laser processing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Laser processing technology is one of the most widely used fields of laser applications, from computer chips to large aircraft structures. Compared with traditional mechanical processing technology, laser processing technology has many advantages such as non-contact, good energy concentration, simple operation, high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0003] The commonly used two-axis or three-axis galvanometer laser processing can only control the position of the laser focal point, and cannot control the attitude of the laser beam, and the freedom of movement is small. At the same time, due to the Gaussian distribution of the energy of the laser beam, the micro-holes or the processed surface are in a positive conical shape, and it is difficult to control and eliminate the conical surface, and it is also impossible to process complex microstructures such as straight-wall holes or negative conical microstructures. Five-axis galvanometer laser can control the angle between the laser beam and the processing surface, and can adjust the beam inclination angle in real time according to the structure characteristics and processing depth to regulate the shape and topography of the processed object, so as to realize high-quality processing of various complex microstructures, such as high-depth-to-diameter ratio straight-wall holes, negative conical holes, special-shaped holes and grooves, and positive and negative conical surface microstructures.

[0004] In the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system, the calibration and debugging of the optical path are the prerequisite for ensuring that the laser focal point and the beam attitude move along the preset path. If the beam focal point and the attitude deviate from the ideal trajectory, it will not only cause the processing quality to decline, but also cause the substrate to be damaged. At present, there is a lack of systematic method for calibrating and debugging the optical path of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system in the public patent. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a complete method for calibrating and debugging the optical path of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system to effectively improve the overall performance of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above practical problems and the deficiencies of the prior art, the main technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for calibrating and debugging the optical path of a five-axis galvanometer laser processing system to realize precise regulation and control of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a method for calibrating and debugging the optical path of a five-axis galvanometer laser processing system, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A kind of calibration and debugging method of optical path of five-axis laser processing system, the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system includes laser generator, mirror, beam expander, dynamic deflection scanning module and motion platform;The mirror includes adjusting device, for adjusting the light direction of the laser beam, the beam expander is used to adjust the diameter and divergence angle of the laser beam, so that the laser beam enters the dynamic deflection scanning module in collimated state;The dynamic deflection scanning module includes focusing module, galvanometer module and focusing field lens module, for regulating the position of laser focus and the attitude of laser beam;The galvanometer module includes galvanometer one, galvanometer two, galvanometer three and galvanometer four;The focusing field lens module includes focusing field lens;The motion platform is provided with processing surface;

[0020] Similarly, the galvanometer four is calibrated independently;

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment of the optical path includes three-axis movement of the laser focal point in X, Y and Z directions, and the angles α and β of the projection of the laser beam in XOZ and YOZ planes with the X and Z axes respectively;

[0043] In the present embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system includes a laser generator 1, a mirror, a beam expander 4, a dynamic deflection scanning module, and a motion platform 10; the laser generator 1 is used to output a laser beam 2 required for processing, the mirror is used to adjust the direction of the laser beam 2, the beam expander 4 is used to adjust the diameter and divergence angle of the laser beam 2, so that the laser beam 2 enters the dynamic deflection scanning module in a collimated state, the dynamic deflection scanning module is used to regulate the position of a laser focal point 282 (the laser focal point 282 is the laser focal point of the laser beam output from the field lens module) and the attitude of the laser beam 28 output from the field lens module; the dynamic deflection scanning module includes a focusing module 7, a galvanometer module 8, and a focusing field lens module 9, the galvanometer module includes a galvanometer one, a galvanometer two, a galvanometer three, and a galvanometer four; the focusing field lens module includes a focusing field lens 92; the motion platform 10 is provided with a processing surface.

[0044] In the embodiment, the direction of the laser beam 2 output by the laser generator is used to establish the coordinate system of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system as the X-axis negative direction.

The "five axes" of the five-axis galvanometer laser processing system specifically include two parts of motion: one is the three-axis movement of the laser focal point 282 in the X, Y, and Z directions, and the other is the adjustment of the two angle axes (α angle and β angle) (for example Figure 2 As shown).

[0045] The four galvanometers and four galvanometer tooling 81 for galvanometer installation are used to control the laser beam 28 output from the field lens module in the "five axes", as shown in Figure 3 The main shaft 82 of the galvanometer is assembled in the preset mounting hole of the galvanometer tooling 81, the galvanometer and the galvanometer tooling 81 are installed in a hole shaft cooperation mode, and the hole shaft cooperation tolerance is ≤0.016 mm; the main shaft 82 is connected with a driving motor, and the four galvanometers are divided into a galvanometer one, a galvanometer two, a galvanometer three, and a galvanometer four. The control of each galvanometer is as follows: the galvanometer three and the galvanometer four work cooperatively with the focusing module 7 to jointly control the movement of the laser focal point 282 in the X, Y, and Z directions; the galvanometer one cooperatively controls the adjustment of the β angle, and the galvanometer two cooperatively controls the adjustment of the α angle.

[0046] In the embodiment, the installation of the initial positions of the four galvanometers includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1, install the first galvanometer on the corresponding galvanometer tool 81, the main shaft 82 of the first galvanometer is collinear with the Y axis, after the first galvanometer is powered on, rotate the main shaft 82 of the first galvanometer, so that the projection of the mirror surface 83 of the first galvanometer in the XOZ plane is nearly 135° with the X axis, Figure 3 Take the first galvanometer as an example;

[0048] Step 2, install the second galvanometer on the corresponding galvanometer tool 81, the main shaft 82 of the second galvanometer is collinear with the X axis, after the second galvanometer is powered on, rotate the main shaft 82 of the second galvanometer, so that the projection of the mirror surface 83 of the second galvanometer in the YOZ plane is nearly 45° with the Y axis;

[0049] Step 3, install the third galvanometer on the corresponding galvanometer tool 81, the main shaft 82 of the third galvanometer is collinear with the Z axis, after the third galvanometer is powered on, rotate the main shaft 82 of the third galvanometer, so that the projection of the mirror surface 83 of the third galvanometer in the XOY plane is nearly 135° with the X axis.

[0050] Step 4, install the fourth galvanometer on the corresponding galvanometer tool 81, the main shaft 82 of the fourth galvanometer is collinear with the Y axis, after the fourth galvanometer is powered on, rotate the main shaft 82 of the fourth galvanometer, so that the projection of the mirror surface 83 of the fourth galvanometer in the XOZ plane is nearly 135° with the X axis.

[0051] In this embodiment, the light path calibration and debugging method comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1, set the light beam limiting structure: as Figure 4 The focusing field mirror module 9 comprises a focusing field mirror 92, which is provided with an entrance aperture shielding plate 91 and an exit aperture shielding plate 93 to limit the spot range of the incident and exit laser beams 2; the aperture size of the light transmission hole of the entrance aperture shielding plate 91 and the exit aperture shielding plate 93 is 0.5mm.

[0053] S2, electrically controlled fine adjustment of the angles of the four galvanometer mirrors:

[0054] The electrically controlled fine adjustment of the angles of the mirrors of the galvanometer is based on the initial position installation of the galvanometer, and the electrically controlled fine adjustment of the angles of the mirrors of the galvanometer comprises the following steps:

[0055] Step 11, power on the four galvanometers which have completed the initial position installation, and turn on the low-power indicating laser output of the laser generator 1, and observe the projection position of the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module on the entrance aperture shielding plate 91, that is, the spot projected on the field mirror entrance aperture shielding plate, which is recorded as the laser projection point 271, as Figure 5 a);

[0056] Step 12, when the laser projection point 271 of the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module deviates from the light inlet 911 of the light inlet shielding plate 91 in the X-axis direction, the adjustment instruction is sent to the galvanometer two and the galvanometer four, the mirror angle of the galvanometer two and the galvanometer four is changed by rotating the corresponding driving motor, so that the laser projection point 271 gradually approaches the light inlet 911; or when the laser projection point 271 deviates from the light inlet 911 of the light inlet shielding plate 91 in the Y-axis direction, the adjustment instruction is sent to the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three, the mirror angle of the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three is changed by rotating the corresponding driving motor, so that the laser projection point 271 gradually approaches the light inlet 911.

[0057] In step 12, the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three both have the function of controlling the movement of the laser projection point 271 in the Y-axis direction, but when only the galvanometer one or the galvanometer three is adjusted, although the laser projection point 271 can approach the light inlet 911 of the light inlet shielding plate 91, the laser cannot be emitted from the light outlet 931 of the light outlet shielding plate 93 and transmitted to the processing surface (as shown in Figure 5 b), the reason is that the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module is not collinear with the central axis of the focusing field lens 92 at this time; therefore, the mirror angles of the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three are adjusted at the same time to ensure that the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module is collinear with the central axis of the focusing field lens 92, as shown in Figure 5 c).

[0058] In step 12, the galvanometer two and the galvanometer four both have the function of controlling the movement of the laser projection point 271 in the X-axis direction, but when only the galvanometer two or the galvanometer four is adjusted, although the laser projection point 271 can approach the light inlet 911 of the light inlet shielding plate 91, the laser cannot be emitted from the light outlet 931 of the light outlet shielding plate 93 and transmitted to the processing surface (as shown in Figure 5 b), the reason is that the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module is not collinear with the central axis of the focusing field lens 92 at this time; therefore, the mirror angles of the galvanometer two and the galvanometer four are adjusted at the same time to ensure that the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module is collinear with the central axis of the focusing field lens 92, as shown in Figure 5 c).

[0059] S3, optical axis collinearity verification:

[0060] As Figure 5c) a laser spot position detection sensor PSD 11 is installed on the motion platform 10 below the focusing field lens 92, which is used to detect the position coordinates of the laser spot formed by the laser focal point 282 projected thereon in the X axis and Y axis directions; first, the spot position data on the laser spot position detection sensor PSD 11 is collected at the initial position of the motion platform 10, then the motion platform 10 is operated to rise by 1 mm, and the spot position data on the laser spot position detection sensor PSD 11 is collected again;

[0061] If the deviation of the spot positions collected twice in the X axis and Y axis directions is controlled within 10 μm, it can be determined that the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module is collinear with the central axis of the focusing field lens 92;

[0062] If the deviation of the spot positions collected twice in the X axis and Y axis directions exceeds 10 μm, it is necessary to return to step S3 for iterative calibration until the deviation is controlled within 10 μm, satisfying the deviation requirement.

[0063] S4, deflection coefficient calibration of the galvanometer three and the galvanometer four:

[0064] In the embodiment, the deflection coefficient calibration of the galvanometer three and the galvanometer four includes the following steps (taking the galvanometer three as an example):

[0065] Step (1), set the laser power that can realize material processing and turn on the laser generator 1, the light emission and light off of the laser generator 1 are linked with the control of the galvanometer module 8, that is, when the galvanometer module 8 is controlled, the laser generator 1 emits light, and when the galvanometer module 8 stops control, the laser generator 1 turns off;

[0066] Step (2), keep the galvanometer one, the galvanometer two and the galvanometer four fixed, send an angle change instruction θ to the galvanometer three, according to the five-axis galvanometer laser processing optical theory, the angle change of the galvanometer three has a corresponding linear distance of the laser beam 28 output from the field lens module on the processing surface, the distance has a theoretical calculation value, and the theoretical scanning distance Δd can be calculated, such as Figure 6 a);

[0067] Step (3), observe and analyze the actual scanning distance Δd' of the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module on the processing surface through the focusing field lens 92 by using an optical microscope, such as Figure 6 b);

[0068] Step (4), compare the actual scanning distance Δd' of the laser beam 28 output from the field lens module on the processing surface with the theoretical scanning distance Δd, multiply the angle change instruction of the galvanometer three by a deflection coefficient, so that the actual scanning distance Δd' on the processing surface gradually approaches the theoretical scanning distance Δd.

[0069] The deflection coefficient of the galvanometer four is calibrated by referring to the calibration method of steps (1)-(4).

[0070] S5, the galvanometer cooperates with the deflection coefficient calibration;

[0071] The cooperative deflection coefficient calibration of the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three includes the following steps:

[0072] Step (11), a laser spot position detection sensor PSD11 is installed on the motion platform below the focusing field mirror 92, and the laser spot position detection sensor PSD11 is used to detect the position coordinates of the laser spot projected thereon in the X axis and Y axis directions;

[0073] Step (12), turn on the laser generator 1 to output low-power indicating laser to provide a light source for laser spot position detection;

[0074] Step (13), after the optical axis collinearity verification, the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module has an initial transmission path that is collinear with the central axis of the field mirror module 9, as shown in Figure 7 a), at this time, the spot position data on the laser spot position detection sensor PSD11 is collected, and the data is taken as the initial spot position data as the reference position for subsequent adjustment;

[0075] Step (14), send an angle change instruction to the galvanometer three, at this time, the laser beam 27 output from the galvanometer module will be offset, and the laser beam 28 output from the field mirror module and the spot position projected on the laser spot position detection sensor PSD11 will also be offset, as shown in Figure 7 b), at the same time, send an angle change instruction to the galvanometer one until the spot position projected on the laser spot position detection sensor PSD11 returns to the initial spot position collected in step (13), as shown in Figure 7 c);

[0076] Step (15), analyze the corresponding relationship between the angle change amount of the galvanometer three and the galvanometer one, calculate the proportional coefficient of the two, complete the coefficient cooperative calibration of the galvanometer three and the galvanometer one, and by adjusting the galvanometer one and the galvanometer three, the angle of the laser beam 28 output from the field mirror module relative to the central axis of the field mirror module 9 can be adjusted, and the attitude of the laser beam 28 output from the field mirror module can be controlled.
