ABSTRACT:
A laser bar loading and unloading apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mounting surface, a movable coating fixture having a plurality of spacers, and at least a first vacuum source for providing a vacuum on a laser bar mounted on the mounting surface. The spacers are movable to place a fully loaded fixture in a closed position and to place an empty fixture in an opened position. A second vacuum source directs a vacuum on a laser bar to assist in moving the laser bar into the fixture and onto one of the spacers. A third vacuum source directs a vacuum on the loaded laser bars to maintain their position in the fixture.
