Abstract
A laser work station has a pair of spaced, parallel extending elongated base members defining a work station therebetween, a laser head support carriage extending between and mounted on the base members for movement along their length, a laser head mounting assembly on the laser support carriage movable therealong between the base members, and a laser head on the mounting assembly for movement vertically relative to the support carriage, so that the laser head is movable in X, Y and Z axes. At least one cart is movable in a path from a point of entry at one end of the base members to the opposite end thereof, and cart positioning elements locate the cart in a predetermined position between the base members. A guidance system is connected to the several movable elements to effect precision movement of the laser head over the workpiece supported on the cart(s) over substantially the entire length of the movement of the laser head support carriage, and fume may be withdrawn through one of the base members.
