Claims9
A laser processing unit comprising:
- a first working area for laser processing of a workpiece;
- a second working area for laser processing of a workpiece;
- and
- a dividing wall adapted to separate the first working area from the second working, the dividing wall having individual interconnected sections and being moveable in a vertical direction.
1 more element
A method of laser processing workpieces in a first working area and in a second working area, the method comprising:
- positioning at least a first portion of a dividing wall having individual interconnected sections in a vertical position between the first working area and the second working area to prevent laser radiation from a laser processing head in the first working area from entering the second working area;
- processing a workpiece in the first working area with the laser processing head;
- moving the dividing wall in a U-shaped guidance, the guidance having two vertical walls for guiding the dividing wall, until the dividing wall is not positioned to prevent laser radiation from a laser processing head in the first working area from entering the second working area;
- moving the laser processing head from the first working area to the second working area;
- moving the dividing wall in a U-shaped guidance, until the dividing wall is positioned to prevent laser radiation from a laser processing head in the second working area from entering the first working area.
