Abstract
Description
"Procédé de traitement par faisceau laser d'un matériau en
feuille mince et dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce
procédé"
L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de traitement par faisceau laser d'un matériau en feuille relativement mince et réfléchissant, tout particulièrement une tôle mais également certaines feuilles de matière plastique."Method of treatment by laser beam of a material in
thin sheet and device for implementing this
process"
The invention relates to a method of treatment by laser beam of a relatively thin and reflecting sheet material, in particular a sheet metal but also certain sheets of plastic material.
L'invention vise particulièrement le soudage ou le découpage de telles feuilles au moyen dudit faisceau laser et concerne plus spécifiquement un perfectionnement permettant d'augmenter le rendement d'un tel procédé en agissant sur la partie réfléchie dudit faisceau, pour la rendre utilisable. The invention particularly relates to the welding or cutting of such sheets by means of said laser beam and relates more specifically to an improvement making it possible to increase the efficiency of such a process by acting on the reflected part of said beam, to make it usable.
Dans l'un des domaines privilégiés de l'invention, c'est-à-dire le soudage bord à bord ou en léger recouvrement de tôles ou pièces métalliques minces (ou encore d'une même tôle enroulée sur elle-même de façon à définir une portion tubulaire, pour la fabrication d'une boite de conserve par exemple) le faisceau laser est souvent orienté perpendiculairement à la surface à souder, afin d'obtenir une pénétration maximum du faisceau dans l'épaisseur de la matière. Néanmoins, une partie non négligeable de l'énergie transportée par le faisceau est perdue, soit absorbée par le plasma qui se crée au voisinage du "point d'impact", soit réfléchie par la cible.On a jusqu'à présent considéré que le soudage ou le découpage d'un matériau réfléchissant présentait une difficulté supplémentaire du fait que la partie réfléchie du faisceau pouvait être renvoyée vers la lentille de focalisation, jusqu'à la détériorer, dans des conditions extrêmes d'utilisation. On a cherché à prévenir ce type de détérioration en attaquant la zone à souder ou à découper avec un certain angle, mais dans ce cas, une partie encore plus importante de l'énergie de rayonnement est réfléchie et donc perdue. In one of the preferred fields of the invention, that is to say edge-to-edge welding or in light covering of thin metal sheets or pieces (or even of the same sheet wound on itself so as to define a tubular portion, for the manufacture of a tin can, for example) the laser beam is often oriented perpendicular to the surface to be welded, in order to obtain maximum penetration of the beam into the thickness of the material. However, a non-negligible part of the energy transported by the beam is lost, either absorbed by the plasma which is created in the vicinity of the "point of impact", or reflected by the target. welding or cutting a reflective material presented an additional difficulty since the reflected part of the beam could be returned to the focusing lens, until it deteriorated, under extreme conditions of use. We tried to prevent this type of deterioration by attacking the area to be welded or cut with a certain angle, but in this case, an even greater part of the radiation energy is reflected and therefore lost.
L'invention se place dans le contexte défini en dernier lieu et se propose d'améliorer le rendement global d'un tel principe de soudage ou de découpage en récupérant le rayonnement réfléchi au point d'impact et en l'exploitant à des fins de préchauffage de la feuille de matériau elle-même, favorisant ainsi le soudage ou le découpage proprement dit, opéré par l'énergie directement appliquée au point d'impact. The invention takes place in the context defined last and proposes to improve the overall efficiency of such a welding or cutting principle by recovering the radiation reflected at the point of impact and by using it for the purpose of preheating of the sheet of material itself, thus promoting welding or cutting proper, operated by the energy directly applied to the point of impact.
Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un procédé de traitement par faisceau laser d'un matériau en feuille relativement mince et au moins partiellement réfléchissant, du type consistant à diriger un tel faisceau vers au moins une telle feuille en mouvement, selon un angle non nul avec la normale à ladite feuille au point d'impact dudit faisceau sur celle-ci, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à provoquer une pluralité de réflexions dudit faisceau le long de ladite feuille, ces réflexions se propageant en amont du point d'impact par rapport au sens de déplacement de ladite feuille. In this spirit, the invention relates to a method of treatment by laser beam of a relatively thin and at least partially reflecting sheet material, of the type consisting in directing such a beam towards at least one such moving sheet, at an angle not zero with normal to said sheet at the point of impact of said beam thereon, characterized in that it consists in causing a plurality of reflections of said beam along said sheet, these reflections propagating upstream of the point of impact with respect to the direction of movement of said sheet.
Dans la pratique, les réflexions du faisceau le long de la feuille seront obtenues en disposant une structure réfléchissante au voisinage de celle-ci de façon à provoquer des réflexions multiples du faisceau laser entre ladite feuille et ladite structure réfléchissante, ces réflexions multiples se propageant ainsi en amont du point d'impact. In practice, the reflections of the beam along the sheet will be obtained by arranging a reflecting structure in the vicinity thereof so as to cause multiple reflections of the laser beam between said sheet and said reflecting structure, these multiple reflections thus propagating upstream of the point of impact.
Pour cela il suffit par exemple que la feuille en mouvement et la structure réfléchissante définissent approximativement une sorte de dièdre creux vers lequel est pointé ledit faisceau laser.For this it suffices for example that the moving sheet and the reflecting structure define approximately a kind of hollow dihedral towards which said laser beam is pointed.
L'invention concerne également un dispositif de traitement par faisceau laser de matériau en feuille relativement mince et au moins partiellement réfléchissante, telle par exemple une tôle, du type comportant des moyens générateurs d'un faisceau laser, des moyens de transmission et de focalisation dudit faisceau vers un point d'impact sur ladite feuille et des moyens de mise en mouvement de celle-ci, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de transmission et de focalisation étant agencés pour que ledit faisceau fasse un angle non nul avec la normale à ladite feuille au point d'impact, un élément réfléchissant, par exemple métallique, placé au voisinage de ladite feuille est conformé pour définir avec celle-ci un système à réflexions multiples en amont dudit point d'impact par rapport au sens de déplacement de ladite feuille. The invention also relates to a device for processing a relatively thin and at least partially reflective sheet material by laser beam, such as a sheet for example, of the type comprising means for generating a laser beam, means for transmitting and focusing said beam. beam towards a point of impact on said sheet and means for setting it in motion, characterized in that said transmission and focusing means being arranged so that said beam forms a non-zero angle with the normal to said sheet at the point of impact, a reflective element, for example metallic, placed in the vicinity of said sheet is shaped to define therewith a multiple reflection system upstream of said point of impact relative to the direction of movement of said sheet.
Dans ce cas, l'élément réfléchissant, métalliqùe, définissant approximativement avec la feuille à traiter une sorte de dièdre du type mentionné ci-dessus, peut tout simplement être constitué par un rouleau de serrage et/ou d'entraînement de ladite feuille. On peut également envisager de faire circuler un cordon metallique réfléchissant entre un tel rouleau et la feuille de matériau a traiter pour que les caractéristiques de réflexion du faisceau laser restent aussi bonnes et aussi constantes que possible pendant toute la période d'utilisation du dispositif.Il est en outre à noter que le fait d'utiliser un tel rouleau de serrage et/ou d'entraînement pour ses qualités réfléchissantes ou pour maintenir un cordon métallique réfléchissant au voisinage de la zone à traiter, favorise, dans le cas de la soudure, le maintien bord â bord ou en léger recouvrement des parties å assembler, du fait que le rouleau se trouve placé en chevauchement de part et d'autre de la ligne de contact des bords alors que, dans le passé, les rouleaux de serrage et/ou d'entraînement devaient être éloignés des bords pour permettre le passage du faisceau laser dirigé perpendiculairement à la zone à traiter. In this case, the reflective, metallic element, defining approximately with the sheet to be treated a kind of dihedral of the type mentioned above, can simply consist of a clamping roller and / or driving said sheet. It is also conceivable to circulate a reflective metal cord between such a roll and the sheet of material to be treated so that the reflection characteristics of the laser beam remain as good and as constant as possible throughout the period of use of the device. It should also be noted that the fact of using such a clamping and / or driving roller for its reflective qualities or for maintaining a reflective metal bead in the vicinity of the area to be treated, promotes, in the case of welding, keeping edge to edge or slightly overlapping the parts to be assembled, because the roller is placed overlapping on either side of the edge contact line whereas, in the past, the clamping rollers and / or drive should be moved away from the edges to allow the passage of the laser beam directed perpendicular to the area to be treated.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre de plusieurs dispositifs pour la mise en oeuvre de son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexes dans lesquels:

- Figure 1 is a partial view of a laser beam welding installation according to the principle of the invention;

En se reportant plus particulièrement aux figures 1 à 3, on a représenté un dispositif de soudage de tôle ili par faisceau laser 12, plus particulièrement agencé pour souder les bords rejoints de flans rectangulaires métalliques conformés en viroles cylindriques 13, par des moyens de mise en circulation et de maintien, classiques et non représentés, à l'exception de deux rouleaux de serrage et/ou d'entraînement 15, 16 coopérant, entre autre, pour maintenir les deux bords rejoints pendant l'opération de soudage. Les deux rouleaux sont sollicités l'un vers l'autre pour enserrer lesdits bords rejoints et l'un d'eux est entraîné en rotation. Referring more particularly to Figures 1 to 3, there is shown a sheet metal welding device ili by laser beam 12, more particularly arranged to weld the joined edges of rectangular metal blanks shaped into cylindrical ferrules 13, by means of setting circulation and holding, conventional and not shown, with the exception of two clamping and / or driving rollers 15, 16 cooperating, among other things, to keep the two edges joined during the welding operation. The two rollers are urged towards each other to grip said joined edges and one of them is rotated.
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, les rouleaux 15, 16 sont disposés en chevauchement sur la ligne de jonction des bords à souder, ceux-ci se présentant soit dans une configuration de contact champ contre champ (figure 2), soit avec un léger recouvrement des bords (figure 3). According to an important characteristic of the invention, the rollers 15, 16 are arranged in overlap on the junction line of the edges to be welded, these occurring either in a configuration of field-to-field contact (FIG. 2), or with a slight overlap of the edges (Figure 3).
Par ailleurs, le dispositif comporte un générateur de faisceau laser de forte puissance (de l'ordre de quelques kW) schématisé par le bloc 17 à la figure 1 et des moyens optiques de transmission et de focalisation 18 du faisceau laser, connus et comportant notamment une lentille de focalisation 18a et un miroir 19, visibles sur la figure 1 et disposés pour diriger le faisceau focalisé vers un "point d'impact" P, fixe et situé sur le trajet de la pièce métallique à traiter, c'est-à-dire plus particulièrement ici sur la ligne de soudage définie par l'avancement de la virole 13 serrée entre les rouleaux 15 et 16. Comme le montrent les dessins, les moyens de transmission et de focalisation du faisceau laser (notamment la position et l'orientation du miroir 19) sont réglés pour que ledit faisceau fasse un angle A non nul avec la normale à la surface de la virole au point d'impact P.En outre, un élément réfléchissant, métallique, est placé au voisinage de la virole et est conformé pour définir avec celle-ci un système à réflexions multiples en amont du point d'impact P par rapport au sens de déplacement de la virole. Furthermore, the device comprises a high-power laser beam generator (of the order of a few kW) shown diagrammatically by block 17 in FIG. 1 and optical means for transmitting and focusing 18 of the laser beam, known and comprising in particular a focusing lens 18a and a mirror 19, visible in FIG. 1 and arranged to direct the focused beam towards a "point of impact" P, fixed and located on the path of the metal part to be treated, that is to say -to say more particularly here on the welding line defined by the advancement of the ferrule 13 clamped between the rollers 15 and 16. As shown in the drawings, the means for transmitting and focusing the laser beam (in particular the position and the orientation of the mirror 19) are adjusted so that said beam makes a non-zero angle A with the normal to the surface of the shell at the point of impact P. In addition, a reflecting, metallic element is placed in the vicinity of the shell and is consistent for challenge with it a multiple-reflection system upstream of the point of impact P with respect to the direction of movement of the shell.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 3, l'élément réfléchissant est constitué par le rouleau 15 lui-même, dont la surface est suffisamment polie pour jouer le rôle de réflecteur avec la surface en regard du flan métallique conformé en virole 13. Ce poli peut être entretenu grâce à des moyens de nettoyage appropriés, en contact avec la surface du rouleau, par exemple des moyens de brossage classiques, non représentés. In the example of FIG. 3, the reflecting element is constituted by the roller 15 itself, the surface of which is sufficiently polished to act as a reflector with the surface facing the metal blank shaped as a ferrule 13. This polished can be maintained by means of appropriate cleaning means, in contact with the surface of the roller, for example conventional brushing means, not shown.
Dans la variante de la figure 2, au contraire, l'élément réfléchissant est constitué par un cordon métallique 25, par exemple un feuillard de cuivre ou d'aluminium en bande, serré entre la surface de la virole 13 et le rouleau 15 et entraîné par la rotation de celui-ci. Le cordon 25 est ainsi transféré en continu d'une bobine débitrice vers une bobine réceptrice ou de récupération (ces bobines n étant pas représentées) de façon à toujours présenter en regard de la virole un état de surface présentant un poli de caractéristique prédéterminée. In the variant of FIG. 2, on the contrary, the reflecting element is constituted by a metal cord 25, for example a strip of copper or aluminum in strip, clamped between the surface of the ferrule 13 and the roller 15 and driven by the rotation of it. The bead 25 is thus continuously transferred from a supply reel to a take-up or recovery reel (these reels not being shown) so as to always have a surface finish with a polish of predetermined characteristic opposite the ferrule.
On conçoit qu'avec le trajet en ligne brisée de la fraction réfléchie du faisceau laser au point d'impact P, se propageant en amont de ce point d'impact par rapport au sens de déplacement de la virole, l'énergie transportée par ladite fraction réfléchie puisse provoquer un préchauffage de la tôle, facilitant la soudure elle-même (ou le découpage, ou tout autre traitement thermique possible grâce au laser). Le procédé s'applique de la même façon sur une surface non métallique, par exemple en matière plastique, suffisamment réfléchissante. It is understood that with the broken line path of the reflected fraction of the laser beam at the point of impact P, propagating upstream of this point of impact relative to the direction of movement of the shell, the energy transported by said reflected fraction could cause preheating of the sheet, facilitating the welding itself (or cutting, or any other possible heat treatment thanks to the laser). The method is applied in the same way on a non-metallic surface, for example made of plastic, which is sufficiently reflective.
De nombreuses autres variantes sont possibles. Many other variations are possible.
Notamment, la focalisation peut être effectuée directement par le miroir 19 si celui-ci a une surface en forme de parabololde. L'agencement peut être tel que le faisceau laser ait son point d'impact à l'intérieur de la virole, ce qui, dans le cas d'une tôle décorée extérieurement, présente l'avantage de ne pas détériorer le décor au voisinage de la ligne d'assemblage.In particular, the focusing can be carried out directly by the mirror 19 if the latter has a surface in the form of a paraboloid. The arrangement can be such that the laser beam has its point of impact inside the shell, which, in the case of an externally decorated sheet, has the advantage of not deteriorating the decoration in the vicinity of the assembly line.
Enfin, les figures 4 et 5 illustrent l'application du principe de l'invention au soudage d'une virole 26 formant corps de boîte, déjà formé, éventuellement de la façon indiquée ci-dessus, avec un couvercle ou fond de boite 27 en forme de disque à bordure rabattue 28. Le pourtour circulaire de la virole 26 est soudé à la bordure 28 par l'action d'un faisceau laser 30 dirigé comme précédemment en biais, dans l'espace défini entre la surface externe de la virole et l'un des rouleaux d'entrainement 31, 32, métalliques et présentant un poli suffisant. Ces rouleaux assurent par ailleurs la mise en rotation des pièces en contact, nécessaire à la réalisation de l'opération de soudage. Finally, FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the application of the principle of the invention to the welding of a ferrule 26 forming a box body, already formed, possibly in the manner indicated above, with a cover or bottom of the box 27 in disc shape with folded edge 28. The circular periphery of the shell 26 is welded to the edge 28 by the action of a laser beam 30 directed as previously at an angle, in the space defined between the external surface of the shell and one of the drive rollers 31, 32, metallic and having sufficient polish. These rollers also ensure the rotation of the parts in contact, necessary for carrying out the welding operation.
