Patent ID: 8367970

Claim:
A process for the laser machining of a workpiece, the process comprising: sending a laser beam from a laser source via a guide means to a laser tool at a multiaxial hand of at least one manipulator, the laser tool having a focal distance; guiding, with said manipulator, said laser tool in a displacing motion relative to said workpiece at a contact-free distance above the workpiece along a machining path; deflecting said laser beam, means of a motion of said hand, to provide a deflection motion about one or more axes of the multiaxial hand by variable deflection angles and to change an angle of incidence of the laser beam on the workpiece; and controlling said laser source, whose power is variable, by controlling laser beam power of said laser source to control power of said laser beam at the laser tool as a function of laser beam motion and the angle of incidence of the laser beam on the workpiece, wherein the laser source and the manipulator are controlled by a common control.
