Camera Adapter

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes a camera adapter designed for use with galvanometer scan heads, enabling camera-based observation of the working field. This is particularly useful for process monitoring and determining workpiece orientation during laser processing.

Installation and Integration
The camera adapter is installed directly in the beam path between the laser flange and the scan head. It features mechanical interfaces for easy mounting, allowing integration into both new and existing systems. The adapter offers flexibility in installation with alternative orientations for the objective and camera.

Principle of Operation
The adapter uses a dichroic beam splitter to decouple light from the workpiece, directing it through the camera's objective onto its imaging chip. The laser beam passes through the beam splitter with minimal attenuation. Customers can select a suitable camera and attach it via a C-mount.

Specifications
  • Maximum entering beam diameter: 30 mm
  • Camera connection type: C-Mount
  • Maximum chip size: 2/3”
  • Weight (without camera): approx. 1.6 kg
  • Operating temperature: 25 °C ± 10 °C

Observation Field and Resolution
The observation field size is influenced by the focal lengths of the scan and camera objectives and the camera chip size. A typical configuration with a 163 mm scan-objective focal length results in a camera image field size of approximately 7.5 mm x 10 mm and a maximum optical resolution of around 10 µm.

Optical Configurations
Various configurations are available for different laser wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, 355 nm, 266 nm) with corresponding observation wavelengths and scan head specifications. The document provides detailed tables outlining these configurations, including focal lengths, processing field sizes, and maximum optical resolutions.

Additional Features
The adapter includes an iris diaphragm for optimal imaging quality and provisions for installing color or interference filters. The focus ring on the objective unit allows for manual adjustment to achieve sharp camera images.

Camera Adapter-1

vision for scan heads The camera adapter enables camera-based observation of a galvanometer scan head’s working field. Typical applications include process monitoring or determination of a workpiece’s orientation during laser processing. The camera adapter is installed directly in the beam path, between the laser flange and the scan head. The adapter’s mechanical interfaces enable quick and straightforward mounting between the scan head and laser flange – thus ensuring easy integration into new or existing systems. A high degree of installation flexibility is provided via alternative orientations of the objective with camera. To facilitate monitoring of work surfaces, light arriving from the workpiece is decoupled via the adapter’s beam splitter and directed through the camera’s objective onto its imaging chip. The laser beam on the other hand passes practically unattenuated through the beam splitter to the scan system. Optical configurations are available for various wavelengths. Customers can freely select a camera suitable for their requirements and attach it via a C-mount. The camera adapter is specifically designed for maximum observation field size and its integrated iris diaphragm can be adjusted for optimal imaging quality. In addition, color or interference filters can be installed. Camera Adapter
