<p>A system and method for creating varying characteristic products from an automated production line (100). The system includes one or more devices, for example robots (107, 109, 111) and machines (106, 108, 110). Specifically, the present invention provides an automated laser cutting device. The method comprises receiving a data file at the laser cutting device (106), converting the data file into an instruction file which may be a computer numeric control file, and operating the laser cutter (106) with the instruction file. The data files include characteristics of the workpiece created by the laser cutter (106). The method further comprises programming the laser cutter (106) with a parametric computer program to receive the data file. Also, the method may further comprise an automatic power source for the laser cutter (106) upon receipt of the data file.</p> |
