2.2 Focal lengths Depending on the machining task, lenses with various focal lengths are used. The focal length of lens has an effect on ■ ■ ■ Wavelengths Requirements the working distance between lens and workpiece. the beam diameter and thus the power density at the machining point. the depth of focus and consequently on the machining depth in the workpiece. The focusing optics can be operated within different wavelength spectrums.
Observation options Focusing optics offer different observation methods: ■ Geometry Focusing optics are available in two designs: ■ ■ Two weld points, two weld seams Special constructions Camera for constant monitoring of the machining process. straight version (0°). angled version (90°). Dual focus optics can be used for simultaneous application of two weld points or two welding seams next to each other. Special constructions are possible for special applications. 2.
The plug receptacle of the focusing optics is available in various versions: ■ ■ ■ ■ Plug receptacle A with length f35. Plug receptacle A with length f100 and f125 Plug receptacle D with length f35 Plug receptacle D with length f100 and f125 defocusing, for LLK-A with focal collimation, for LLK-A with focal defocusing, for LLK-D with focal collimation, for LLK-D with focal The LLK-B is inserted into plug receptacle D with an adapter. Notes ■ ■ Focusing optics BEO D50 Smart can only be used with LLKD.
The collimation of focusing optics D50 has a focal length of 100 mm or 125 mm. The focal length of the collimation determines the dimensions of the focusing optics D50. Zero position Set ring If collimation is set to zero, the focus position will correspond to the details in the dimensional drawing. The focusing optics can be defocused by means of the setting ring.
To protect the LLK from dirt, TRUMPF recommends sealing the disconnection point between the LLK plug and the plug receptacle of the focusing optics with adhesive tape (see chapter "Mounting and installation"). Note For sealing the disconnection point, use exclusively PVC adhesive tape, 19 mm, material no. 1420313.
Division of the power The bifocal optics of focusing optics D50 has a fixed set distance between the focal points and divides the laser beam into two partial beams of the same power. If the laser light cable was replaced, it may be necessary to adjust the power splitting of the dual focus optics (see "Adjusting the dual focus optics", pg. 4‐21). Location of the focal points c b 0030-68-R a 360° Fig.
Fastening methods Connecting pieces are used to fasten focusing optics to a support. Note In the case of focusing optics BEO D50 Smart, the fastening must be insulated. Separating plate and deflection mirror The 0° cube has a separating plate, the 90° cube has a deflection mirror. The 2 x 90° double deflection has two deflection mirrors. The laser light or the visible light for observation is deflected in the cubes. The empty cube extension however contains no optical element.
The temperature of the cooling water can be monitored within preset limits via the cooling water monitoring module. 2.8 Observation optics The observation optics is the intermediate piece between separating plate or deflection mirror on the one hand and the camera on the other. 1 camera 3 Deflection 2 Observation optics 4 Coaxial lighting Observation optics Fig. 3-15 The viewing optics consists of ■ ■ ■ a filter keeping away the laser light. a deflection mirror (90° version only).

Aspect ratio The ratio of lens focal length f to collimation focal length fc is named aspect ratio β. Fig. 3-38 β: aspect ratio β > 1 means that d0f > dk β = 1 means that d0f = dk β < 1 means that d0f < dk Depth of focus The length of the optical axis in the focus where the focal diameter d0f changes only negligibly, is called depth of focus.
Long focal lengths of lens show the following advantages compared with short focal lengths of lens: ■ ■ Larger working distance. By this, less soiling of the lens protection as usually. The power density on the processing point will drop with increasing soiling. This diminishes the processing quality. The depth of focus is longer. This allows a larger working distance range without changed machining results.

General notes on adjustment work The following conditions must be fulfilled: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 22-50-17-CRen 2020-01 The focusing optics must have been installed in the system. The focusing optics must have been connected correctly to the laser device by way of the LLK. The necessary safety equipment must have been installed and must be ready for operation. Suitable laser safety glasses must be at hand. There must be enough samples for the commissioning procedure.
1. Aligning the focusing optics In almost all applications the optical axis of the focusing optics is aligned with the processing plane. 1 3 1 Guide edge on the connecting piece 3 2 Guide edge on the lens protection CT-00481 2 Workpiece Aligning the 0° focusing optics with the processing plane Fig. 4-1 The 0° and 90° focusing optics have to be aligned in the same way. 1.
or Ø Align the guide edge of the lens protection (2) in parallel to the workpiece (3) (see "Fig. 4-1", pg. 4‐4). Tip If welding is performed with strong back reflections, the focusing optics should be set at an angle so that the back reflections pass by the focusing optics. An external absorber plate may also be required.
2. Adjusting the focal position The highest power density of the laser beam is achieved in the focal point. The position and the diameter of the focal point as well as the depth of focus depend on: ■ ■ ■ the focal length of the used lens. the core diameter LLC. the focal length of collimation. The deviation of the focal position Δz from the workpiece surface has an important effect on the geometry of the weld point or welding seam.
2.1 Setting zero position Please see the following sections: ■ ■ ■ ■ Taking objects out of the beam guideway. Adjusting the working distance. Defocusing the focusing optics. Adjusting the focusing optics in the x-y direction.. With zero position and distance B between the focusing optics and the workpiece adjusted according to the dimensional drawings, the focal plane lies exactly on the workpiece surface.
2.2 Taking objects out of the beam guideway The laser beam exits the lens conically and achieves its highest power density in the focal point. Objects in the beam path cause ■ ■ ■ ■ increased scattered light at the machining point. risk of overheating of the object projecting into the beam path. backscattering of the laser light into the focusing optics. This causes additional heating-up of the focusing optics and may result in damage to the focusing optics and the laser device.
The focal position must be determined anew if: ■ ■ the focusing optics has been replaced. the clearance between the lens and workpiece has changed. Method Explanations with camera The working distance is changed until the workpiece surface is sharply defined. Note This method is only possible if the camera is adjusted correctly. according to dimensional drawing of the focusing optics Adjust the working distance according to distance B (see dimensional drawing of the optics used).

1. General notes The correct maintenance is an important precondition for troublefree operation of the focusing optics and for the quality of the working result. The focusing optics has been designed to require little maintenance. Regularly check the condition of your focusing optics. Carry out maintenance work as a precautionary measure when you detect signs of wear or dirt. Check regularly the laser light cable for damaged sheathing. The laser light cable must be replaced in case of a damaged sheathing.
Maintenance of the focusing optics When processing material with a laser, particles or vapors may be emitted from the surfaces of the workpieces, which will result in a fog and a soiling on the protective glass or on other parts of the focusing optics. A soiled protective glass diminishes the laser power on the workpiece. Regularly check the condition of the protective glass. Clean the protective glass and other parts of the focusing optics if they are visibly soiled.
