Abstract
An add-on module for intercoupling or interposing between a control device, in particular a system control, and a laser machining head of a laser machining system is provided. The add-on module includes: a first interface, and is connectable with the laser machining head and/or with at least one sensor device of the laser machining system via the first interface so as to exchange data; a second interface, wherein the add-on module is connectable to the control device via the second interface so as to exchange data; and a processing unit configured to process data and output the processed data via at least one of the first, second, and third interfaces. Furthermore, a laser machining device includes such an add-on module is provided.
