Abstract
A laser processing system is disclosed, which includes a system frame, a process frame movably supported by the system frame, an optics wall coupled to the process frame, a process shroud coupled to the system frame and extending over and alongside upper and lateral peripheral regions of the optics wall and an optics shroud coupled to the process shroud. The process frame is configured to support a laser source, a workpiece positioning system and a beam delivery system. The process frame is moveable relative to the process shroud and the process frame is moveable relative to the optics shroud. The process shroud, the optics wall and the process frame enclose a first space for laser processing of a workpiece. The optics shroud, the optics wall and the process frame enclose a second space for accommodating the laser source.
