Abstract
A laser marking system in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a laser marker, a beam receiving device, and a notifier. The laser marker includes a laser beam emitter. The beam receiving device includes a beam receiver and a transmitter. The beam receiver receives a laser beam emitted by the laser beam emitter. The transmitter transmits a first positional signal. The first positional signal indicates a receiving position of the laser beam in the beam receiver. The notifier notifies of the receiving position of the laser beam based on the first positional signal.
Claims13
A laser marking system comprising:
- a laser marker including:
- a laser beam emitter configured to emit a laser beam;
- a first device communicator configured to perform a first wireless communication with a beam receiving device;
- a second device communicator configured to perform a second wireless communication with a portable terminal device;
- and
- a device control circuit configured, in response to the first device communicator receiving or having received a first positional signal, to transmit a second positional signal to the portable terminal device via the second device communicator;
- the beam receiving device including:
- a laser beam receiver configured to receive the laser beam;
- a transmitter configured to perform the first wireless communication with the laser marker;
- and
- a beam receiving control circuit configured to:
- generate the first positional signal in accordance with a receiving position of the laser beam in the laser beam receiver;
- and
- transmit the first positional signal to the laser marker via the transmitter;
- and
- the portable terminal device including:
- a terminal display;
- a speaker;
- a vibrator;
- a terminal communicator configured to perform the second wireless communication with the laser marker;
- and
- a terminal control circuit configured to, in response to the terminal communicator receiving or having received the second positional signal:
- (i) cause the display to show the receiving position of the laser beam;
- (ii) cause the speaker to output a sound in accordance with the receiving position of the laser beam;
- and
- (iii) cause the vibrator to output a vibration in accordance with the receiving position of the laser beam.
