ABSTRACT:
A laser beam distribution apparatus for preferably directing laser energy upon work pieces. The apparatus includes a laser beam, and a series of beam reflector members disposed along a beam path, at least one of which is movable and has at least one selectable transmissive portion and at least one selectable reflective portion. In addition, the apparatus includes a selectively controllable drive device constructed to position a selected portion of the movable reflector member in the laser beam path to distribute the beam to a selectable destination.
