Abstract

This paper describes a new flexible and fast approach to laser cutting
called ROBOCUT. Combined with CAD/CAM technology, laser cutting of metal
provides the flexibility to perform one-of-a-kind cutting and hereby realises mass
production of customised products. Today’s laser cutting techniques possess,
despite their wide use in industry, limitations regarding speed and geometry.
Research trends point towards remote laser cutting techniques which can improve
speed and geometrical freedom and hereby the competitiveness of laser cutting
compared to fixed-tool-based cutting technology such as punching. This paper
presents the concepts and preliminary test results of the ROBOCUT laser cutting
technology, a technology which potentially can revolutionise laser cutting.
