The numbers of sensor elements and detector units will grow. Future laser material processing systems for different applications will be designed for automatic operation. Most laser beam parameters will be observed and the performing optical components will get an indicator which provides data regarding the life time cycle and / or the current performance.
The constant dialog between the laser tool, the visible or invisible beam, the performing optical elements and the operator will lead to a new type of screen which includes all relevant data on a separate platform. Share these ideas from an optics foundry.
