Abstract
A method for producing a weakening line in a surface of a component. The method comprises a guiding step and a skipping step. In the guiding step, a removal apparatus for removing a material of the surface is guided over a plurality of segments of a predefined line-shaped contour by means of an activated laser beam in order to produce a desired wall thickness for at least one of the segments so as to produce the weakening line. In the skipping step, the segment is skipped if the segment has the desired wall thickness.
Claims18
A method for producing a weakening line in a surface of a component, the method comprising:
- guiding a removal apparatus for removing a material of the surface over a plurality of portions of a predefined line-shaped contour using an activated laser beam in order to produce a target wall thickness for at least one of the portions in order to produce the weakening line;
- skipping the portion if the portion has the target wall thickness;
- and
- generating a lead-in section for a downstream portion of the contour that follows the portion,
- wherein, during said skipping, the removal apparatus jumps to the lead-in section in order to move over the lead-in section, and
- wherein an output of the activated laser beam is deactivated while the removal apparatus moves over the lead-in section.

- skipping the portion if the portion has the target wall thickness;
- and
- generating a lead-in section for a downstream portion that follows the portion or generating a lead-out section for an upstream portion arranged upstream of the portion,
- wherein an output of the activated laser beam is deactivated while the removal apparatus moves over the lead-in section or the lead-out section.
