Abstract

The present invention relates to an adjustable laser and optic system for processing which includes a laser beam cutting machine for focusing a laser beam including a first base for supporting an overhead beam by a post, the overhead beam having a laser beam conduit, a mirror assembly and a condenser lens for focusing the laser beam. A laser generator is supported on a second base for generating and feeding the laser beam to the laser cutting machine. Thg laser generator has a laser beam outlet arranged in alignment with the axis of the beam conduit in the overhead beam such that the laser beam generated is delivered to the mirror assembly in a straight line. Also provided is an element for connecting the first base and the second base, and an adjustment device associated with the second base for horizontally adjusting the laser generator in relation to the cutting machine, and a workpiece positioning device mounted on the first base for feeding the workpiece to the processing zone.
