Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting equipment technology, specifically a coaxial vision inspection laser cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The coaxial vision inspection laser cutting equipment generates a laser beam through a laser generation system, which is then focused onto the workpiece surface via an optical path transmission system, causing the material to melt or vaporize rapidly. The coaxial vision inspection system monitors the laser cutting position, cutting quality, and other information in real time.

[0003] Existing laser cutting equipment often produces spatter that adheres to the surface of semi-transparent mirrors or lenses, obstructing light transmission and leading to blurred images and increased detection errors. While fixed light sources are typically used for supplemental lighting, they are ill-suited to the reflective properties of workpieces of different materials and colors, resulting in low image contrast and difficulties in feature extraction. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a laser cutting device that effectively combines laser cutting with visual inspection functions, providing both good illumination and precise detection.
