Abstract

The high-power diode lasers required for many laser industrial processes have conventionally been the bulky floor devices. However, the laser manufacturers have responded to the industrial need for compact systems that take full advantage of the miniaturization inherent in the diode lasers. This makes it possible to successfully integrate the diode lasers as the service tools into the actuating systems of multipurpose industrial robots, including the mobile robots for processing the large-dimensioned items. The article presents a laser-robot produced by the ThermoLaser LLC company, designed for processing large parts for energy and transport purposes.
