Patent attributes
The invention describes an apparatus, in particular a laser hybrid welding head (1) for a laser hybrid welding process, in which a laser (4) or laser optics or an optical focussing unit and elements of a welding torch (5) for an arc welding process and/or a feed device for a welding wire as well as a device for generating a cross jet (8) connected by at least an incoming line (9) and an outgoing line (10) to a compressed air supply system, are mounted on at least one mounting element (2). The incoming line (9) and the outgoing line (10) carrying compressed air for the cross jet (8) are disposed between the two components, in particular the laser (4) and laser optics or the optical focussing unit and the elements of the welding torch (5) or feed device for the welding wire (21).
