to the cross section of the second inlet opening of the second funnel 7 the focusing lens 43 directs the laser beams 29 onto the mirror 13 from which the laser beams 29 are directed into the region of a second outlet opening 31 of the second funnel 7 as shown in fig3 it is thereby possible to process a processing location 34 in the region of the curved surface 37 of the component 22 if the longitudinal axis 19 of the second funnel 7 is lengthened that is to say a central ray of the laser beam 29 that processes the component 22 120 130 it would be seen that a trailing edge of the curved component 22 would be cut and so it would be impossible to process using a rectilinearly guided laser beam the second funnel 7 has an outlet opening 31 from which the laser beams 29 emerge and strike the component 22 furthermore the focusing device 1 can have a number of funnels and if appropriate correspondingly a number of deflecting devices in order to deflect the laser beams 29 in stepwise fashion the funnels 4 7 can be movable relative to one another in this case the position of the mirror 13 is preferably also adjusted correspondingly the focusing apparatus optionally has a gas feed 37 into the housing preferably into the funnel 4 or into the funnel 7 downstream of the focusing lens 43 in order to introduce into the funnel 4 or funnel 7 a process gas that strikes the component 22 from a second outlet opening 31 of the second funnel 7 doing so together with the laser beam 29 air.
