- the machining pattern output circuit 90 is configured to generate a machining pattern signal S7 based on the output from the machining length comparator 84 and the output control signal S10 from the timing forming circuit 88.
- the processing control unit 24 generates an oscillator clock (clock signal) S1 to be given to the laser oscillator 12 based on the repetition frequency input data of the pulse laser beam in the reference clock oscillation circuit.
- the laser oscillator 12 generates a pulsed laser beam based on the oscillator clock S1. That is, a pulse laser beam synchronized with the clock signal is emitted.
- the pulsed laser beam PL1 is emitted by opening the built-in shutter. In this way, when the pulsed laser beam PL1 is emitted, there is no first pulse, and stable output energy is maintained.
- the machining control unit 24 generates a machining pattern signal S7 from the above-described two-dimensional machining data. Then, the pulse picker controller 22 supplies the pulse picker 14 with a pulse picker drive signal S6 that ensures synchronization with the pulse laser beam PL1 by the clock signal S1 in accordance with the machining pattern signal S7. Thus, in synchronization with the clock signal S1, the pulse picker 14 switches between passing and blocking of the pulse laser beam.
- the processing control unit 24 generates a scan command signal S2 that ensures synchronization with the clock signal S1 when the laser beam scanner 18 starts scanning. Then, the laser beam scanner controller 32 of the laser beam scanner 18 receives the scanning command signal S2 and controls the driving of the laser beam scanner 18. In this way, in synchronization with the clock signal, the laser beam scanner 18 scans the pulse laser beam only in the one-dimensional direction.
- the processing control unit 24 determines the movement timing of the XY stage unit 20 based on the scanning angle signal S5 that is a scanning position signal from the laser beam scanner 18, and the stage is determined based on the two-dimensional processing data and the movement timing.
- a movement signal S15 is generated.
- the scanning angle signal S5 in this case is from the scanning angle detection signal S4 in which the scanning end sensor 36 detects the processing end position at which the processing described in FIG. 3 ends or the scanning end position at which the scanner scan ends.
- the XY stage unit 20 operates in response to the stage movement signal S15.
- the XY stage is controlled to move in a direction orthogonal to the scanning direction of the laser beam scanner, for example, based on the scanning position signal of the laser beam scanner.
- the time to the next scanning is shortened, and further high speed of laser beam processing is realized.
- the processing control unit 24 may also control the beam shaper 16. This case is particularly effective when the beam shaper 16 automatically controls the beam diameter or automatically adjusts the light intensity distribution of the beam cross section.
- the laser oscillator 12 operates autonomously with most of the laser oscillation controlled by a built-in control unit.
- the reference clock oscillation circuit 26 controls the pulse oscillation timing and the like. This will be described with reference to FIG.
- the uniaxial scanning mirror 28 of the galvanometer scanner shown in FIG. 2 starts scanning at the scanning start position (scanning origin) as described with reference to FIG.
- the laser beam scanner 18 receives an instruction from a scan command signal S2 synchronized with, for example, rising (or falling) of the clock signal S1, and the laser beam scanner control unit 32 Drive control of the galvanometer 30 is performed.
- the laser beam scanner controller 32 controls the drive of the galvanometer 30 by the scanning command signal S2 so that the scanner speed becomes a stable scanning speed V at an early stage.
- the reproducibility of the scanning angle of the uniaxial scanning mirror 28 under the optimum condition is obtained empirically about 10 ⁇ rad / pp in the stable region. This value becomes a scanning position reproducibility of 1 ⁇ m / pp when an f ⁇ lens having a focal length of 100 mm is used.
- the repetitive stability in the acceleration period is deteriorated to about 10 times in the long-term scanning, so that the processing start position varies for each scanning. Therefore, the processing origin position for each scan is corrected by the correction mechanism based on the scanning position signal (scanning angle signal S5) from the laser beam scanner.
- the scanning angle range is about 2.3 degrees or more.
- the scan angle sensor 36 detects a preset synchronization angle ( ⁇ sy) as a detection signal as shown in FIG. 7B, the scan command signal ( ⁇ o: The difference from the scanning start position) is defined as a phase difference ( ⁇ i), and the distance to the processing origin with respect to the scanning command signal S2 is corrected based on this phase difference.
- the difference between the phase difference ( ⁇ n) and the phase difference ( ⁇ 1) is used as a distance correction value to the processing origin for the scan command signal for the first scan of the n-th scan, and the processing during the first scan and the n-th scan Match the origin position.
- the machining pattern signal S7 shown in FIG. 8 is given from a three-dimensional bitmap including distance data from the machining origin. For this reason, when the processing origin position matches for each scan, the processing start position of the processing pattern signal S7 also matches, and the pulse picker drive signal S6 is also generated at a desired timing.
- the scanner clock signal drives the servo control motor as a drive signal from the laser beam scanner control unit 32.
- the laser beam scanner 18 may have a phase shift due to its autonomous operation. Therefore, the synchronization angle detection signal that becomes the scanning position signal generated every time the scanning operation is repeated synchronizes the passage / blocking of the oscillation pulse light with the scanning operation of the beam, that is, the timing is adjusted, so that the laser is extremely stable. Processing becomes possible.
- the correction mechanism controls passage and blocking of the pulse laser beam in the pulse picker based on the scanning position signal (scanning angle signal S5). That is, the timing of the drive signal of the pulse picker 14 is designated based on the phase difference detected from the scanning position signal for detecting the synchronous position (angle) of the rotational position of the scanning mirror. Thereby, the processing origin position for each scan of the pulse laser beam is corrected.
- the correction mechanism gives a distance correction value obtained from the phase difference detected from the scanning position signal to the scanning command signal after the scanning command signal to the laser beam scanner for ⁇ o at the scanning angle from the scanning start position.
- the processing origin position for each scan of the pulse laser beam is corrected.
- the pulse laser beam is pulse-frequency modulated by the pulse picker operation to generate the required modulated pulse light. This will be described with reference to FIG.
- the pulse laser beam PL1 delayed by t1 from the clock signal S1 having the frequency Tp is cut off / passed by the pulse picker drive signal S6.
- the pulse picker drive signal S6 samples the processing pattern signal S7 at the rising edge of the clock signal S1, rises delayed by t2 from the rising edge of one clock of the clock signal S1, and starts from the rising edge of the other clock after the required number of clocks.
- the pattern signal falls after a delay of t3.
- the operation of the pulse picker 14 is generated according to the delay times t4 and t5 by this pulse picker driving signal, and the pulse laser beam PL1 during the operation is extracted as the modulated pulse laser beam PL2.
- the delay times t2, t3, t4 and t5 are set in accordance with the pulse picker.
- the inverted pattern signal of the pulse picker driving signal S6 becomes a driver signal that controls ON / OFF of oscillation in the ultrasonic wave generation control unit. Then, the required oscillation pulse light is extracted by the driver signal having the inverted pattern.
- AOM acousto-optic device
- the scanning position signal (scanning angle signal S5) from the laser beam scanner 18, for example, the scanning position signal of the processing end position at the rotational position of the scanning mirror is the moving timing of the XY stage moving unit 20. Instruct. Assuming that the one-dimensional scanning direction of the laser beam scanner 18 is the X-axis direction, step movement or continuous movement of a predetermined width in the Y-axis direction is performed according to the movement timing.
