Abstract

As the definition of flexible manufacturing systems is refined the laser will play an increasingly important role. In sheet metal FMS the versatility of lasers has already made an important impact. New laser designs will help FMS to evolve frau marginal functionality to a mature manufacturing reality. This paper addresses the role that lasers play in FMS and the parameters successful implementation imposes upon them.
