A control device for a laser machining apparatus includes: a plurality of lasers, and a plurality of scanners which respectively scan laser beams outputted from the plurality of lasers, and a scanner control unit which controls the plurality of scanners, in which the scanner control unit synchronously controls the plurality of scanners by generating information indicating a movement amount of a focal point or center of a laser beam based on a machining program, and controlling the plurality of scanners based on the information indicating the movement amount of the focal point or center of the laser.

A system for coordinated laser marking of mid-conveyance food includes a controller, multiple lasers, and one or more industrial components. The lasers are in network communication with the controller. The controller can send a first instruction set, having a first language, to a first laser, and a second instruction set, having a second language different from the first language, to a second laser, the first laser associated with a first conveyor of multiple conveyors, and the second laser associated with a second conveyor different from the first conveyor. During operation, the first laser applies a marking to a first product as the first product is conveyed along the first conveyor, based on the first instruction set. Also during operation, the second laser applies the marking to a second product as the second product is conveyed along the second conveyor, based on the second instruction set.

A laser diode system includes plurality of laser pumps, each of the plurality of laser pumps including a plurality of laser diode drivers and a plurality of laser diode elements, wherein each of the plurality of laser diode drivers is electrically coupled to power at least two of the plurality of laser diode elements. A combiner electrically is coupled to the plurality of laser diode elements to combine an output of each of the plurality of laser pumps to generate a combined output light. A controller identifies a failed laser pump or a failed laser diode element, receives an encoded key to gain access to the controller, and disables the failed laser pump or the failed laser diode element based at least in part on authenticating the encoded key.

A machine learning device observes a state variable of the inside and the outside of a laser device including time-series data of light output, which is detected by an output light sensor, and a light output command through a control unit of the laser device, and acquires a determination result on correctness with respect to a quantitative failure occurrence mechanism outputted for each failure in the laser device. The machine learning device learns the quantitative failure occurrence mechanism corresponding to each failure while associating the quantitative failure occurrence mechanism with the state variable and the determination result on correctness with respect to the quantitative failure occurrence mechanism, and decides a quantitative failure occurrence mechanism which is to be outputted when an occurrence of each failure is detected.

A data generating device includes a memory; and a controller. The memory is configured to store a plurality of sets of drawing information about an index pattern and a laser beam used for drawing the index pattern on a surface of a workpiece in association with respective ones of a plurality of sets of machining contents individually. The index pattern is represented by drawing data. Each of the plurality of machining contents indicates a machining process to be performed on the workpiece to measure deformation of the workpiece. The controller is configured to perform: receiving a generation instruction instructing to start generating the drawing data; designating one set of machining contents from the plurality of sets of machining contents; and generating the drawing data according to designated one set of machining contents and corresponding one of the plurality of sets of drawing information.

Every junction part for an airplane wing is manufactured with overmaterial. Each part is measured with a laser based interferometer or other scanning technique and the as built measurements are compared with a model to generate a new trajectory milling program to fill or prevent gaps between parts using a points cloud and B-Spline algorithm to generate a new surface to be milled. Once the program is generated (new trajectories) and post processed, it is sent to a milling machine to perform overmaterial milling on already milled parts with overmaterial. This technique can be used to eliminate gaps between junction parts and the corresponding need for shims.

A robot includes a robot main body that includes a base and an arm configured to include a first casing and a second casing connected to the first casing, a motor that drives the arm, and a light emitting element that emits light and in which the first casing and the second casing form a first space and a second space isolated from the first space in a state of being connected to each other, the light emitting element is disposed in the first space, and the motor is disposed in the second space.

A processing apparatus for processing a workpiece includes: a chuck table that holds the workpiece; a processing unit that processes the workpiece held by the chuck table; a controller that controls the chuck table and the processing unit; an input section that inputs a processing condition to the controller; a storage section that stores the processing condition inputted to the input section; and an infrared transmission/reception unit that transfers apparatus information between the processing apparatus and another processing apparatus by infrared radiation.
