Abstract

A scanning laser apparatus for alternately processing two workstations includes a 2D laser beam scanner and a roof reflector. The roof reflector has two reflective surfaces located on the left and right sides, respectively, of the roof 'ridge'. The laser beam scanner directs the laser beam to either one of the left and right reflective surfaces of the roof reflector. When the laser beam scanner directs the laser beam to the left (or right) reflective surface, the left (or right) reflective surface reflects the laser beam toward a workstation on the left (or right) side of the roof ridge. The roof reflector divides the field of view of the laser beam scanner between the workstations. While a workpiece is being removed from or mounted in the left workstation, another workpiece may undergo scanning laser processing in the right workstation, and vice versa, thereby facilitating high throughput.
