摘要： Laser processing systems that employ multi-camera vision subsystems and associated methods of use and manufacture are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method for processing one or more materials or compositions of materials with a laser processing system comprises generating, via a first camera carried by the laser processing system, a first preview image of one or more materials to be processed. The first preview image comprises an image of an entire material processing field. The method also comprises generating, via a second camera carried by the laser processing system, a second preview image. The second preview image comprises an image of only a selected portion of the material processing field from the first preview image. Based on the second preview image, the method further comprises modifying a design file relative to a material to be processed.

摘要： Systems and methods for laser processing systems and associated methods for using and manufacturing such systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a laser processing system includes a controller, a laser source, a material support, and a beam delivery subsystem operably coupled to the controller. The beam delivery subsystem comprises an optical carriage assembly configured to receive and modify a laser beam from the laser source, and direct the laser beam toward a material to be processed carried by the material support. The optical carriage assembly is further configured to focus the laser beam within a material processing field to obtain an adjustable power density within a material processing plane and achieve an optimal selected condition for the material to be processed.

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.

摘要： Systems and methods for laser processing using a modified laser beam having a non-Gaussian energy distribution are described herein. In some embodiments, a laser processing system includes a laser source that outputs a laser beam having a Gaussian energy distribution, and a beam modifier positioned in a path of the output beam. The beam modifier controllably modifies the Gaussian energy distribution of the output laser beam along at least one axis perpendicular to the beam's axis of travel. In various embodiments, the laser processing system includes a beam delivery sub-subsystem that operates in a raster mode. In such embodiments, the subsystem can raster the modified beam across a material to form raster lines for transferring an image or pattern to the material.
