Abstract

A multifunction laser assisted processing apparatus can perform cutting processes, marking processes and drawing processes on a workpiece material. The apparatus includes a laser beam source, a work face to support the workpiece material, an X-direction movable arm on the work face, and a Y-direction movable process head to project laser beam on the workpiece material. The apparatus further includes an output adjustable mechanism to adjust the amount of the laser beam from the laser beam source. The adjustable mechanism in one embodiment has a gas control device for keeping the pressure of laser medium gas at constant level, and a DC high-voltage power unit capable of adjusting the resonance and supplying it to the laser beam source.
