Abstract
A process for performing a laser treatment on discrete sheets of material. The present invention provides for shingling discrete sheets of material and for tracking and contacting a laser beam on the continuously moving shingled sheets.
Claims1
A process for laser treating material, said process comprising the steps of:
- shingling discrete sheets of said material onto a conveyor, such that each of said discrete sheets of material overlaps a portion of an adjacent one of said discrete sheets of material;
- conveying each of said discrete sheets in a pre-determined path, said path in the view of a laser system;
- and
- directing a laser beam from said laser system onto said discrete sheets in succession.
