Abstract:
1. An adapter for mechanically coupling a receiving part of a laser processing device to an object, said adapter comprising: a contact glass movable into a beam path of the laser processing device, wherein the beam path extends to an object along an optical axis, said contact glass having an upper surface and an annular peripheral region and said adapter fixable to the laser processing device and provided so as to contact the object with said contact glass such that the upper surface is facing the laser processing device, and wherein fixing means allow such adapter to be releasably fixed to the receiving part of the laser processing device such that, upon application of a designed and predetermined pulling force along said optical axis, said adapter with the fixing means are completely detachable from said receiving part without damage to the receiving part, said fixing means is provided by the upper annular peripheral region of the upper surface of the contact glass, said upper annular peripheral region engageable with a stop surface of the receiving part, and wherein fixing means are provided for fixation by a vacuum, the vacuum provided above the upper surface of the contact glass between the contact glass and the receiving part.
