Device for
laser welding and / or
laser soldering (100a), comprising a device for guiding a
light beam (200a) with a focusing optic (210a, 210b) and a deflecting optic arranged downstream along a propagation direction of the
light beam and rotatable about a
rotational axis, wherein the deflecting
optics are designed to guide the
light beam, when driven in a rotating manner, along a circular path perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such that a
radius of the weld path (150a, 150b) is smaller than a
radius of a circle which the light beam describes when exiting the deflecting
optics, and wherein the focusing
optics (210a, 210b) are configured to focus the light beam so that it has a focus
diameter between 50 µm and 500 µm on the circular path, the deflection optics consist only of a wedge plate (250a, 250b) and no other optical components, wherein the wedge plate (250a, 250b) is formed by two optical elements (260a, 260b, 270a, 270b) and has two planar surfaces as end faces (262a, 272a), wherein the optical elements of the wedge plate have complementary spherical surfaces (264a, 274a) facing each other, one of which spherical surfaces (264a) forms a
concave surface of the first optical element (260a, 260b) and the second spherical surface (274a) forms a convex surface of the second optical element (270a, 270b), and the
concave surface and the convex surface have the same
radius of curvature and are to be shifted relative to each other along the mutually facing spherical surfaces (264a, 274a) such that the planar surfaces (262a, 272a), as surfaces facing away from the respective spherical surface (264a, 274a) of a respective optical element, run at an angle to each other, wherein the optical element (270a, 270b) of the wedge plate (250a, 250b), which is not the first to be hit by the light beam, is adjustable by means of a shaft with worm gear, wherein the upper surface (262a) of the wedge plate (250a, 250b) is installed at an angle to the light beam.
