Systemized approach in laser industrial systems design

The choice of proper configuration of laser technological equipment is one of the main stages of the development of technological process. The rational choice of movements that laser beam and workpiece perform greatly improves the efficiency of laser processing and significantly reduces costs of the operation being developed. For this purpose all possible ways of laser beam delivery and workpiece manipulation were analyzed. There were used different coordinate systems and responsible movements along each axis. An algorithm was developed to generate all possible connections between modules of laser system. On a basis of this algorithm we have developed a software that optimizes the process of the selection of laser equipment by implementing the requirements to it. A software could be extended by using additional economical and constructional factors that may influence on the required laser equipment configuration. For each coordinate system there were made schemes of laser equipment with responsible movements indicated.
