摘要:
Laser material processing systems having beam positioning assemblies with fluidic bearing interfaces and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a laser material processing system includes a beam positioning assembly configured to position a laser beam. The beam positioning assembly includes a first linear guide having first guide surfaces and a second linear guide having second guide surfaces. The first linear guide is moveably coupled to the first linear guide via the first guide surfaces. The second linear guide is moveably coupled to a carriage via the second guide surfaces. At least one fluidic bearing interface is positioned to prevent direct physical contact between the second linear guide and at least one of the first guide surfaces and/or between the carriage and at least one of the second guide surfaces.
