Abstract
A robot laser work cell combines a plurality of systems which include an orthogonal axis manipulator system, a laser beam delivery system, a safety enclosure system, a coolant chiller for the laser beam delivery system, an air filtration and drying system in communication with the laser beam delivery system, an exhaust system for removing toxic fumes from the area proximate the output of the laser beam delivery system and a variety of precision table and other fixturing means which can be used in combination to function as the work cell of this invention. In an alternative embodiment, a laser package is mounted by a modular wrist onto the Z-axis of the orthogonal axis manipulator and the laser beam delivery system.
