Abstract

In order to improve flexibility when changing between different laser processing workheads we have developed an automatic tool changer for laser machining centers. This tool system was designed for large multi axis machines such as gantries suitable for three-dimensional processing, but can also be used for other types of laser operations like robots for example. The system also offers the possibility to combine laser processing with deburring and milling on the same machine.
