    摘要: A method for laser welding of a workpiece includes welding at a corner joint of two workpiece parts of the workpiece by a welding laser beam to create an aluminum connection between the two workpiece parts, and feeding an output laser beam into a first end of a multiclad fiber to generate the welding laser beam. The multiclad fiber comprises at least a core fiber and a ring fiber surrounding the core fiber. A first portion LK of a laser power output of the output laser beam is fed into the core fiber, and a second portion LR of the laser power output of the output laser beam is fed into the ring fiber. A second end of the multiclad fiber is reproduced on the workpiece. The method further includes welding the workpiece by deep welding.

    摘要: A method for laser welding includes arranging two bar-type conductors next to one another with a partial overlap, and welding the two bar-type conductors to one another using a processing laser beam. A weld bead is formed on a common base surface of the bar-type conductors. During the welding, the processing laser beam is guided so that a welding contour is placed relative to the bar-type conductors. An advancing rate of the processing laser beam along the welding contour is selected such that the weld bead has a non-liquid oxide skin inside which liquid bar-type conductor material accumulates. The non-liquid oxide skin is partially broken open by the processing laser beam only on an upwardly facing end face of the weld bead, and remains undamaged in a surrounding region of the weld bead that extends downward from the upwardly facing end face and around the entire weld bead.

    摘要: A hairpin welding method welds wire ends of at least two copper wires, arranged flush next to one another, to one another by a laser beam. The laser beam is generated with a beam cross section that impinges on the wire ends at an end side and has a round core region and a ring region surrounding the round core region. A ratio of an external diameter of the ring region to a diameter of the core region is between 7:1 and 2:1. A ratio of a laser power in the core region to a laser power in the ring region is between 10:90 and 70:30.

    摘要: A method for identifying splatters or weld seam defects during laser processing of a workpiece includes processing the workpiece using a processing laser beam of a laser processing machine, compiling at least one recording of radiation emerging during the processing of the workpiece using an optical sensor that has a plurality of pixels for recording the radiation, and inputting the at least one recording into an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit has a machine learning algorithm configured as a convolutional neural network in a U-Net architecture. The machine learning algorithm has been trained with verified recordings of splatters or weld seam defects. The method further includes identifying one or more splatters or weld seam defects in the processing of the workpiece by running the machine learning algorithm using the at least one recording as input, and outputting an output indicating the identified one or more splatters or weld seam defects.
