Abstract
A laser processing head includes a housing including a mounting surface for mounting the laser processing head on a carrier; a plurality of optical components arranged within the housing; and an access opening formed in the housing for removing or inserting at least one first optical component among the optical components, the access opening being formed in the mounting surface.
Claims20
A laser processing head used in combination with a laser source producing a laser beam, the laser processing head comprising:
- a housing including a mounting surface for mounting the laser processing head on a carrier;
- a plurality of optical components arranged within the housing, the plurality of optical components configured to be optically coupled to the laser source such that the laser beam travels through the plurality of optical components along an optical path, the plurality of optical components including at least one first optical component;
- the mounting surface of the housing extending in a plane parallel to the optical path through the at least one first optical component;
- and
- at least one access opening with a cover, the at least one access opening formed in the mounting surface of the housing for removing or inserting the at least one first optical component in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface and perpendicular to the optical path;
- whereby as the laser processing head is mounted on the carrier, the mounting surface with the at least one access opening and the cover is at least partially covered by the carrier.
