Abstract
A laser beam containment system includes a number of optics that direct a laser beam produced by a laser beam source along a path to a point of application of the laser beam. One or more hollow tubes are positioned in an arrangement such that the laser beam passes through the hollow tubes. The hollow tubes are also adjustably positioned relative to the laser beam objects to allow for access to the optics for maintenance and adjustment of the optics. Locking mechanisms provide control of the adjustment features of the containment tubes.
