ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for carrying out materials processing operations, comprises an industrial robot assembly including an arm one end of which is pivotally connected to a pedestal assembly, and a second end of which has a pivotally-mounted working head including a laser beam focusing assembly the axes about which the arm of the industrial robot and the working head rotate being parallel to each other, a laser beam guide assembly mounted on the arm of the industrial robot having a first optical elbow assembly mounted so that an optical axis is coincident with the axis of rotation of the first end of the arm of the industrial robot and arranged to direct an incoming beam of laser radiation from a fixed laser source in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the arm of the industrial robot to a second optical elbow assembly mounted with the optical axis coincident with that about which the working head pivots and arranged to direct the laser beam to a third optical elbow assembly which forms part of the working head and has an optical axis co-planar with that of the second optical elbow assembly but orthogonal to it and arranged to direct the laser beam to the laser beam focusing assembly, the said optical elbow assemblies being adapted to permit rotational motion about the said optical axes without affecting the alignment of the laser beam.
