A patent application (Publication Number: US20240033847A1) describes a method for controlling a laser processing process on a workpiece surface using a processing system with a processing head equipped with an optical recording device, a laser, and movement devices. The method involves moving the processing head relative to the workpiece, acquiring image data of the processing field, correcting processing coordinates based on the image data, and using the corrected coordinates to process the field with the laser. The method also includes moving the processing head to a different processing field for further processing.

Furthermore, the patent application details additional steps such as acquiring further image data of the processed field, driving a suction device to remove process gases during processing, and controlling the laser parameters based on the workpiece and processing task. The application also includes a controller configured to carry out the method and a processing system comprising the controller and the processing head. The system utilizes a femtosecond or nanosecond laser with specific power, repetition frequency, pulse duration, and wavelength, along with an optical recording device capable of various imaging techniques. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive method and system for precise laser processing of workpiece surfaces with advanced control and monitoring capabilities.
