LASER PROCESSING STATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a laser processing station that comprises a powerful transverse-flow gas laser. The laser is capable of radiating an output beam having an elliptic shape, wherein said beam is elongated in a direction which is perpendicular to the plane of the gas flow that crosses a gas-discharge chamber. The transparent output window and the objective lens have an elongated shape corresponding to the section of the output laser radiation that crosses them.
