Laser Marking System Beam Position Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in adjusting the position of a laser beam due to challenges in identifying the lighting and buzzing sounds from a remote controller, making it hard to accurately position the laser beam.
Innovation Solution
A laser marking system that includes a laser marker, a beam receiving device, and a notifier, where the beam receiving device transmits positional signals to the laser marker and portable terminal devices, allowing users to identify the receiving position of the laser beam through visual, auditory, or vibrational cues, enabling easy adjustment of the beam's position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the remote controller uses LED lighting and buzzing sound to notify beam receiving position, then the notification function is provided, but the user has difficulty identifying the notification at a distance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a portable terminal device as an intermediary between the beam receiving device and the user. The terminal device receives positional signals from the beam receiving device and displays the beam receiving position information on its screen, making the notification visible at a distance. This mediator transmits information wirelessly, allowing the user to see the beam position without being close to the beam receiving device.
2Ease of operation
If the user positions themselves away from the beam receiving device to adjust the laser beam, then safety and comfort are improved, but the ability to identify the receiving position notification is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/optical notification system (LED lights and buzzers on the beam receiving device) with an electronic information system. The positional information is converted into digital signals transmitted wirelessly to the portable terminal device, which then displays the information visually on its screen. This substitution allows notification delivery independent of the user's physical proximity to the beam receiving device.

AI summary
A laser marking system in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a laser marker, a beam receiving device, and a notifier. The laser marker includes a laser beam emitter. The beam receiving device includes a beam receiver and a transmitter. The beam receiver receives a laser beam emitted by the laser beam emitter. The transmitter transmits a first positional signal. The first positional signal indicates a receiving position of the laser beam in the beam receiver. The notifier notifies of the receiving position of the laser beam based on the first positional signal.
