Patent ID: 6998572

Claim:
A machining apparatus for machining a workpiece which includes a substrate, a component, and a joining material for joining the component to the substrate, the joining material comprising a solvent, said machining apparatus comprising: a light source for generating a light energy; an optical system for guiding said generated light energy to a joint position of the workpiece; a table on which the workpiece is mounted; a heating device provided at the table, for heating the workpiece; a power supply for supplying electric power to the light source; a first controller for controlling the power supply and the optical system; a status recognizing unit for detecting a status of the workpiece; a driver for moving the table; and a second controller for controlling the driver, the second controller comprising an interface for exchanging a signal with the first controller, wherein the heating device sets a temperature of the joining material to a temperature lower than and close to a boiling point of the solvent, and wherein the first controller controls at least one of the power supply and the optical means based on the detected status.
