| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a laser drilling system (20) comprising: a) a laser device (21) that directs a pulsing laser beam at a firing zone (30); b) a solids handling assembly (25) comprising: c) a continuous solids indexer comprising plural solids-receiving slots; d) a first solids reservoir comprising a fill detector (38); e) a solids-loading means (43) adapted to conduct solids (45) from a second solids reservoir into the first solids reservoir; wherein the solids-loading means (43) comprises a flow controller responsive to a signal from the fill detector (38); and f) a solids delivery zone, wherein the indexer transports a solid (45) from the solids reservoir through the firing zone (30) to a delivery zone (32), and the laser device (21), in synchronization with the solids indexer, drills one or more holes or cavities in the surface of the solid (45). |
