High velocity vacuum system for laser ablation

A laser processing system comprising:

• a laser beam generation source for generating laser pulses;
• at least one table for supporting a desired surface to be processed;
• an optical laser engine assembly for receiving and redirecting the generated laser pulses, from the laser beam generation source, toward the desired surface to be processed on the at least one table;
• a plurality of high velocity plume/debris extraction segments being supported by a table framework adjacent the desired surface to be processed for removing a plume and generated debris during treatment of the desired surface to be processed;
• a rotatable turret assembly having a plurality of inlet ports, and each one of the plurality of inlet ports is respectively connected with at least one of the plurality of high velocity plume/debris extraction segments by a respective segment hose;
• a dust collector separator and a blower being coupled to the rotatable turret assembly for generating a desired negative pressure and subjecting the rotatable turret assembly to the negative pressure;
• each of the plurality of high velocity plume/debris extraction segments being connected to one of the plurality of inlet ports of the rotatable turret assembly;
• and
• the rotatable turret assembly having a turret which is rotatable, by a motor, to selectively subject a desired one or desired pair of the plurality of high velocity plume/debris extraction segments to the negative pressure, during processing by the generated laser pulses, to remove the plume and generated debris during treatment of the desired surface to be processed.
