Laser processing method with optimized quality control
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11772203B2) describes a laser processing method that aims to improve the quality of laser processing on a processing target. The method involves preparing a processing recipe with set values for testing various processing parameters, such as power, frequency, pulse width, duty ratio, or focal length of a laser beam. These set values are tested in multiple rounds of first test processing on the processing target, and the results are analyzed to measure the quality value of each test.
Based on the measured quality values, the method selects the set value for testing used in a specific round of the first test processing that most satisfies a predetermined reference quality. This selected set value is then used for manufacturing a product from the processing target, controlling the manufacturing process based on this set value. The processing design of the product corresponds to its shape, which is defined by a pattern consisting of lines and dots. The pattern is divided into processing units, and the processing recipe is individually prepared for each unit.
The patent also describes additional steps in the method. After the first test processing, second test processing is performed on the processing target using the set value selected for manufacturing the product. The results of the second test processing are divided and analyzed for each processing unit to determine if any units are defective. If a unit is found to be defective, the set value for manufacturing the product is reselected from the processing recipe for that unit, and the second test processing is performed again.
The method also includes the use of setting criteria, such as minimum and maximum set values and unit intervals, to determine the range of set values for testing. The reference quality is a reference quality value, and the set value for manufacturing the product is selected based on the smallest error from the reference quality value among the set values for testing.
Overall, this patented laser processing method offers a systematic approach to optimize the quality of laser processing by testing and selecting the most suitable set values for processing parameters. By individually preparing processing recipes for different processing units and analyzing the results, the method aims to improve the overall quality of the manufactured product.
