LASYS 2012 preview: New products on display
Laser Mechanisms will introduce a new right-angle, compact (RAc) laser processing head for 3-dimensional robotic cutting with a fiber-coupled laser, which it says is nearly 30% smaller and lighter than the original version, for tighter-access robotic cutting. The FiberCut RAc's compact low-moving mass head minimizes inertia transfer to the robot support arm. All connections to the head enter at a right angle, including the fiber, providing tight access to parts, easy cable routing, and stress reduction on the input fiber. The FiberCut RAc system consists of the cutting head, fiber collimator, linear drive with position measuring, and an internal, low-noise height sense system that is insensitive to cutting plasma or piercing debris. (Here's the spec sheet.)
