    摘要: Reliable coupling of a high-power laser beam into a liquid-jet in a liquid-jet guided laser system can be achieved with high lifetime performance of the nozzle and the protection window, through setting the parameters of the liquid-jet guided laser system according to an optimum relationship that links the focus point of the laser, the focus cone angle, the laser beam energy distribution profile and the nozzle geometry.

    摘要: A combination of a liquid jet and a mechanical rotary tool can be used to machine precision micro holes in thick substrates. A liquid-jet guided laser can be used to rapidly drill core holes into the ceramic substrate. A sensor can be applied to detect the cut through point of the liquid-jet guided laser drilling step to allow a rapid and closed-loop controlled machining process. The substrate can be heated up for speeding up a liquid-jet guided laser drilling process. A mechanical tool such as a drill, a reamer or a mill can be applied to finish the core holes to a desired bore diameter. The mechanical tool cutting main surface can preferably consist of a diamond material. An inspection camera and illumination system can be applied to inspect each mechanically finished bore as part of the drilling process.

    摘要: Disclosed is a laser beam processing device, the main part of which is a coupling device (1) for coupling a focused laser beam (2) into a fluid jet (3) of a defined cross-section. The coupling device (1) comprises a housing (4), in which a fluid nozzle is configured for forming the fluid jet (3). In addition, an outlet opening (6) is provided in the housing, through which the fluid jet (3) exits from the housing (4) and the cross-section of which is larger than the cross-section of the fluid jet (3). A passage chamber is provided between the fluid nozzle (5) and the outlet opening (6) for the fluid jet (3). According to the invention, a throttle bore is provided, which connects the passage chamber (7) to the pressure chamber and is dimensioned in relation to the outlet opening so that, in the region of the passage chamber which is arranged about the fluid nozzle (5), there is a pressure that is smaller than the pressure in the pressure chamber so that an overpressure does not form in the passage chamber with respect to the pressure in the pressure chamber. In addition, a method is disclosed for setting a pressure in the passage chamber (7) in a coupling device of this type, in which the pressure does not exceed the pressure in the pressure chamber.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses and systems can be provided to remove vulcanized rubber contamination and other process related residues, such as sulfur-based residues from a vulcanization mold. A vulcanization mold can be placed in a reactor where solid vulcanized rubber contamination can be turned into its base substances on a particle level by reversing the vulcanization and breaking the sulfur-bonds of the contamination. The reactor can be filled with a process liquid that interacts with the devulcanized particles. Energy can be applied to the process liquid to set it into motion to transport devulcanized particles away from the mold surface and from mold cavities such as air venting systems, of which can include then a combination of devulcanization and then a nucleation process to remove the contaminants from the mold.
