Abstract: Systems and methods for laser processing continuously moving sheet material include one or more laser processing heads configured to illuminate the moving sheet material with one or more laser beams. The sheet material may include, for example, an optical film continuously moving from a first roller to a second roller during a laser process. In one embodiment, a vacuum chuck is configured to removably affix a first portion of the moving sheet material thereto. The vacuum chuck controls a velocity of the moving sheet material as the first portion is processed by the one or more laser beams. In one embodiment, a conveyor includes a plurality of vacuum chucks configured to successively affix to different portions of the sheet material during laser processing.

Abstract: Varied embodiments of a laser-based machine tool, and techniques for controlling the same are provided. Some embodiments relate to techniques to facilitate uniform and reproducible processing of workpieces. Other embodiments relate to a zoom lens having a quickly-variable focal length. Still other embodiments relate to various features of a laser-based multi-axis machine tool that can facilitate efficient delivery of laser energy to a scan head, that can address thermomechanical issues that may arise during workpiece processing, etc. Another embodiment relates to techniques for minimizing or preventing undesired accumulation of particulate matter on workpiece surfaces during processing. A number of other embodiments and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract: A laser processing system is disclosed, which includes a system frame, a process frame movably supported by the system frame, an optics wall coupled to the process frame, a process shroud coupled to the system frame and extending over and alongside upper and lateral peripheral regions of the optics wall and an optics shroud coupled to the process shroud. The process frame is configured to support a laser source, a workpiece positioning system and a beam delivery system. The process frame is moveable relative to the process shroud and the process frame is moveable relative to the optics shroud. The process shroud, the optics wall and the process frame enclose a first space for laser processing of a workpiece. The optics shroud, the optics wall and the process frame enclose a second space for accommodating the laser source.
