Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for treating a surface with infrared laser light. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of treating a polymer-coated surface with near-infrared laser light from a laser source having a pulse fluence of 0.01 to 50 J/cm2.
  • DE 10 2009 029 915 A1 proposes using a CO2 laser and guiding the laser beam generated with it over the surface of a component.
  • pre-treatment with a CO2 laser potentially results in greater paint removal due to the wavelength. This can lead to changes, at least in the area of the surface, which, due to the large laser spot used in DE 10 2009 029 915 A1, cause visible changes in the surface structure result, which are still visible even after applying a paint and affect the paint finish.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved method for pretreating a surface, in particular a surface coated with a polymer.
  • an apparatus for pretreating a surface comprises a laser source configured to emit a laser light and a deflection unit configured to direct the laser light onto the surface as a laser beam and move across the surface along a path.
  • the laser source can be a conventional laser, for example an industrially used laser.
  • the deflection unit can be implemented as an optical deflection unit, for example with one or more mirrors and/or prisms.
  • the laser source is set up to generate an infrared laser beam in the near-infrared range.
  • the laser source can generate a pulsed infrared laser beam with which a pulse fluence of 0.01 to 50 J/cm2 is achieved.
  • the pulse fluence is the area energy of the laser beam during a pulse, i.e. the pulse energy (J) per focus diameter (cross-sectional area of the laser beam or area of the laser spot).
  • the pulse fluence can preferably be 0.1 to 10 J/cm2 and particularly preferably 0.5 to 1 J/cm2.
  • This pulse fluence allows energy to be introduced into the surface in a targeted manner, for example of an aircraft component, which in fact enables the surface to be activated.
  • the surface is not heated in its depth (layer thickness) and the associated component. As a result, changes in the surface due to excessive thermal stress can be avoided.
  • a near-infrared laser beam i.e. a laser beam in the short-wavelength infrared range between 810 and 5,000 nm
  • a laser source can preferably be used which generates a laser beam with a wavelength between 950 and 1500 nm, particularly preferably with a wavelength of 1064 nm.
  • the near-infrared laser beam can be used specifically in layers with particles that absorb infrared light to activate the layer. These layers can, for example, be heated in a targeted manner by the infrared laser beam, so that they become at least partially detached and/or at least partially detached from the underlying layers.
  • the surface can be a polymer-coated surface, such as a painted surface and/or a surface having particles and/or pigments.
  • a maximum of 50%, preferably a maximum of 25% and particularly preferably a maximum of 10% of the original polymeric layer are removed.
  • the entire polymeric layer can also be removed at the site where the laser has acted.
  • Activation is understood here to mean the removal of a (very thin) outer part of a layer, as a result of which the layer acquires better adhesion properties for other layers subsequently applied thereto, for example a (further) paint finish.
  • an existing layer is at least partially detached which, viewed from the outside, has first particles which are excited by the infrared light.
  • a layer that has particles is, in particular, a layer that includes a polymer, with which the surface is coated.
  • the polymer layer can, for example, comprise fillers which bring about heterogeneous absorption of the laser light.
  • the polymer layer can be a pre-existing finish on the surface.
  • particles or paint pigments are usually used here, such as titanium dioxide (for light or white colors) through to carbon black particles (for dark or black/grey colors). These particles/pigments are very well suited to absorbing the infrared laser light and thus activating the layer. With the stated pulse fluence, the particles/pigments can detach within the layer and from the layer below lead layer material.
  • the particles/pigments can change their consistency under the influence of the laser light, as a result of which part of the layer in the vicinity of the particles/pigments detaches and/or the particles/pigments (allow) to be removed from the underlying layer material. This enables a thin and even treatment of the surface.
  • contaminants on the outermost layer of the device can be thermally activated by the near-infrared laser beam, thereby removing the contaminants.
  • An underlying layer, in particular a layer that is transparent to infrared light, is not activated by the laser beam and thus remains on the component.
  • the outermost surface layer can be (partially) transparent to infrared light before color pigments appear when viewed in the thickness direction of the layer.
  • the outermost transparent layer of the primer or base coat can be removed by thermally activating the "first layer" of primer up to or including the color pigments.
  • the surface of the component pretreated in this way has very good adhesion properties for a subsequent applied paintwork.
  • the microscopic enlargement of the effective surface can be seen here in comparison to the original (untreated) polymeric surface.
  • a laser source with an average power of between 5 and 1000 W, preferably a laser source with 50 to 500 W, can be used.
  • Such a laser source is particularly compact and therefore light, which means that the device can be designed more simply overall.
  • the device can also comprise at least one robotic arm to which the deflection unit is attached.
  • the at least one robotic arm can be set up to perform a movement relative to the surface.
  • the deflection unit can thus be moved over a large area of the surface or of the component comprising the surface or the entire component move. The area on the component that can be treated is therefore not defined solely by the deflection unit.
  • the deflection unit can always be optimally aligned with the surface of the component using a robot arm that can be moved around three axes.
  • a distance between the deflection unit and the surface of the component and an angle of incidence of the laser beam on the surface of the component can be kept as constant as possible.
  • the angle of incidence of the laser beam on the surface of the component can be kept at 90° if possible, for example within a range between 85° and 95°.
  • the device can comprise a work table, to which a component comprising the surface is fastened.
  • the work table can be set up to carry out at least one two-dimensional movement relative to the deflection unit. The movement can of course also be carried out relative to the robot arm. As a result, the area of the surface of the component that can be treated can be further increased, especially in the event that a robot arm alone cannot reach all areas of the surface of the component.
  • the device can also comprise an optical fiber line, which is arranged between the laser source and the deflection unit and is set up to guide the laser light of the laser source to the deflection unit.
  • the optical fiber line can be implemented in the form of a fiber optic cable, for example.
  • the usually heavier and more complex laser source can be locally separated from the deflection unit by the fiber line, which facilitates movement of the deflection unit over the surface of the component.
  • An optical fiber line is particularly advantageous in interaction with a robot arm, since the optical fiber line can easily accompany the movement of the robot arm.
  • near-infrared laser light can be guided through an optical fiber line.
  • CO2 laser sources are usually more complex and therefore heavier in their construction. The use of near-infrared laser light proposed here thus offers many advantages, particularly when it comes to automating the pre-treatment of large aircraft components.
  • the laser source can also be set up to emit the infrared laser beam with a pulse length or pulse duration of 0.01 to 10,000 ns, 0.1 to 10,000 ns, 1 to 10,000 ns, 1 to 1000 ns, or 10 to 1000 ns, or a range with a combination of these range values, preferably 1 to 1000 ns.
  • the deflection unit can also be set up to generate a laser point on the surface with a diameter of between 1 and 10,000 ⁇ m, preferably between 10 and 1,000 ⁇ m and particularly preferably between 10 and 100 ⁇ m. Such a small laser point enables the surface to be treated evenly, regardless of its surface structure.
  • aircraft components are assembled with fasteners, such as rivets.
  • the rivet heads represent a bump on the surface of the aircraft component.
  • the very small laser spot allows the laser beam to be optimally aimed at any portion of the aircraft component, including such fasteners and other elements spatially deviating from the surface.
  • the advantage of a near-infrared laser is particularly evident in comparison to conventional grinding processes, in which more material can be removed from such elevations in the event of improper use.
  • the laser source can be set up to set an energy distribution on the laser point in the focus of the laser beam according to a specific profile.
  • the energy distribution can be set as a flattop profile or a Gaussian profile.
  • the laser source can also be set up to set a round or angular beam profile.
  • the device can also include at least one sensor that is set up to detect a surface condition of the surface.
  • the sensor can be set up to detect and evaluate laser light that is reflected by the surface.
  • an alignment of the surface can be determined, after which an alignment of the laser beam can be adjusted.
  • Contamination or a color of the outer layer of the surface can also be determined, after which laser parameters (frequency, pulse length, laser spot size, wavelength, fluence, etc.) can be adjusted by the laser source in order to achieve optimal processing/activation of the surface.
  • the deflection unit can also be set up to move the laser point step by step along the path, with a temporally earlier laser point being spatially overlapped by a temporally subsequent laser point.
  • the deflection unit is controlled in such a way that the laser beam always hits a point on the surface, with subsequent points having a cut surface (overlapping surface). Energy from the laser beam acts more frequently on the cut surface, since this surface is multiplied by Laser beam is treated, whereby the laser power brought onto/into the surface is accumulated.
  • the size of the cut surface i.e. varying a step size of the step-by-step movement of the laser point, the energy input into the surface can be at least partially determined.
  • the deflection unit can also be set up to move the laser point line by line along the path.
  • a given area can be treated by laser points arranged in rows.
  • Consecutive laser points can be guided through the rows in a serpentine manner (i.e. along a continuous S-shaped path, with the scanning direction being reversed in adjacent rows).
  • successive laser points can be guided through the lines with the same scanning direction.
  • a chronologically earlier laser point of a first line can be spatially overlapped by a chronologically subsequent laser point of a second line.
  • a laser spot of a first line and a laser spot of an adjacent second line form an intersection (overlap area). More energy is applied to the cut surface by the laser beam because this surface is repeatedly treated by the laser beam.
  • the size of the cut surface i.e. varying a line spacing of the line-by-line movement of the laser point, the energy input into the surface can be at least partially determined.
  • a line spacing between two adjacent lines of the path can be between 0.001 and 10 mm, preferably between 0.01 and 1 mm, and particularly preferably between 0.01 and 0.1 mm.
  • a small distance between the lines can be selected if the power of the laser and the resulting pulse fluence are set lower.
  • a line spacing of 0.01 mm can be set with a laser power of 10 W.
  • the line spacing can be set to 0.05 mm with a laser power of 100 W.
  • the overlapping areas are correspondingly larger or smaller.
  • the line spacing can also depend on a laser point size (area or diameter of the laser point).
  • a feed between two lines can be between 5 and 95%, preferably between 30 and 60%, of the laser spot size.
  • the laser source can also be set up to generate the pulsed laser beam with a frequency between 50 kHz and 10 MHz (10,000 kHz), preferably with a frequency of 150 kHz. The laser beam pulsed in this way enables the accumulated energy input per area (the surface) to be determined in a targeted manner. This enables an even surface treatment to be achieved.
  • the deflection unit can be set up to move the laser point along the path in such a way that the pulsed laser beam is emitted onto each laser point between 1 and 15 times, preferably between 2 and 5 times.
  • the pulsed laser beam is emitted multiple times onto a specific laser point before the deflection unit deflects the laser beam onto the next neighboring laser point.
  • the accumulated energy input per area is also determined by the frequency with which the same area on the surface is treated with the laser beam. By varying the number of times a laser beam strikes the same laser spot (same area), the treatment of the surface can be determined.
  • the deflection unit can also be set up to scan the laser beam along the path at a scanning speed of between 100 and 1,000,000 mm/s, preferably between 500 and 500,000 mm/s and particularly preferably between 500 and 500,000 mm/s move.
  • the scanning speed of the laser beam can, for example, correspond to the movement of the laser point within a line.
  • path parameters and/or laser parameters can be varied in order to achieve a desired accumulated energy input into the surface. For example, a layer thickness that is removed from the surface of the component can be determined in this way.
  • the path parameters include a progression speed of the laser (scanning speed), a distance between lines of the path, a distance between laser points along the path and thus a size of overlapping areas of adjacent laser points.
  • the laser parameters include the fluence of the laser, a pulse length of the laser, a pulse frequency, a laser spot size (e.g. diameter), the wavelength of the laser light.
  • the deflection unit may be further configured to determine the path across the surface such that the laser fluence (irradiance) on the surface is between 800 and 9000 mJ/cm 2 .
  • Different can Path parameters and/or laser parameters can be varied to achieve the desired laser fluence.
  • the device can also include a suction device.
  • the suction device can be arranged close to the deflection unit and/or close to the surface to be treated, in order to remove ablation products, ie material that detaches from the surface as a result of the laser effect. On the one hand, this reduces the subsequent cleaning effort required for the surface. On the other hand, it also prevents the deflection unit or other optical elements from getting dirty.
  • the device can also include a fan, which is arranged opposite the suction device, so that the deflection unit or at least the laser beam is/are between the fan and the suction device. This creates an airflow above the surface to ensure efficient removal of the debris.
  • a method for treating a surface coated with a polymer comprises the following steps:
  • a laser source arranged to generate an infrared laser beam in the near-infrared range with a pulse fluence of 0.01 to 50 J/cm2;
  • the method can also include generating, by the deflection unit, a laser point on the aircraft component surface with a diameter between 1 and 10,000 ⁇ m, preferably with a diameter between 10 and 1,000 ⁇ m and particularly preferably between 10 and 100 ⁇ m.
  • the method can also include the step of generating a laser point on the surface, carried out by the deflection unit.
  • the deflection unit can also include moving the laser point along the path in steps, where a temporally earlier laser point is spatially overlapped by a temporally subsequent laser point.
  • the deflection unit can include moving the laser point along the path in lines, with a temporally earlier laser point of a first line being spatially overlapped by a temporally subsequent laser point of a second line.
  • the method can also include painting an area of the surface (of the aircraft component), the area having previously been treated by the laser light.
  • the previously performed method steps for treating the surface (of the aircraft component) with the laser light serve as a pretreatment of at least one specific area of the surface (of the aircraft component).
  • the surface quality thus achieved in the at least one specific area enables very good adhesion properties for the painting (of the aircraft component) that is subsequently carried out. This can be achieved on the one hand by cleaning the surface (removing impurities) and on the other hand by changing the surface (activating it for subsequent painting).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de prétraitement d'une surface (11) laquée avec un polymère et présentant des particules et/ou des pigments, procédé selon lequel une source laser (110) émet une lumière laser, en particulier génère un faisceau laser infrarouge pulsé (111) dans la zone proche infrarouge avec une fluence par impulsion de l'ordre de 0,01 à 50 J/cm2. En outre, selon ledit procédé, la lumière laser est orientée vers la surface (11) sous la forme d'un faisceau laser (111) par une unité de déviation (115) et la lumière laser est déplacée au-dessus ladite surface (11) le long d'un trajet (40). L'émission de la lumière laser pulsée comprend un réglage de la fluence par impulsion, de sorte que des premières particules et/ou des premiers pigments de la surface (11) tourné(e)s vers le faisceau laser (111) absorbent la lumière laser infrarouge pulsée (111) et une partie de la surface se décolle, l'épaisseur de couche du polymère après le décollement étant supérieure ou égale à 50 %, de préférence supérieure ou égale à 75 %, de préférence encore supérieure ou égale à 90 % de l'épaisseur de couche initiale du polymère.
