AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional laser processing devices with automatic optical component replacement systems suffer from increased weight and moment of inertia due to the drive mechanism attached to the processing head, leading to deflection and deviation of the laser beam during processing.
Method used
An automatic optical component exchange device with a separate transport unit and stocker, where the processing head is lighter and the drive mechanism is external, reducing the weight and moment of inertia, and allowing for precise laser beam positioning.
Benefits of technology
The solution reduces deflection and deviation of the laser beam, enabling higher precision, faster movement, and energy savings by minimizing the moment applied to the processing head.

Abstract
To provide an automatic replacing device for an optical part capable of reducing the weight of a machining head in comparison with a conventional one.SOLUTION: The automatic exchanging device 200 for optical components includes a machining head 1 having a head-side housing side 1a and an optical component provided inside the head-side housing side 1a and guiding a laser beam toward a workpiece, a stocker 2 having a storage side 2a capable of storing a used optical component and an unused optical component and attached to an outer surface of the head-side housing side 2a in a state where the storage side 1a can communicate with the inside of the head-side housing side 1a, and a conveyance unit 3 provided separately from the machining head 1 and the stocker 2 and conveying the optical component between the inside of the head-side housing side 1a and the storage side 2a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
