Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus for cutting material by means of a milling cutter and laser radiation. The apparatus comprises a milling unit, a work spindle, a milling cutter, a laser, deflecting elements, focusing optics, and a work table. According to the invention, a workpiece can be milled and lasered simultaneously or successively at the same cutting location in that the laser beam is coupled into a channel coaxial to the mill axis.
Claims5
An apparatus for cutting material comprising:
- a milling unit;
- a milling cutter and a motor-driven work spindle for receiving the milling cutter;
- a laser being connected to an optical transmission system;
- a work table for clamping the workpiece;
- driving units and controlling units for generating and controlling the relative movement of the milling unit and work table in three spatial dimensions and for controlling the laser;
- a hollow channel being provided in the milling cutter coaxial to the mill axis and said optical transmission system for coupling said laser beam coaxially into the channel.
