Abstract
The paper discusses principles of operation and basic design features of the mechanism of a precision laser cutting system, and describes how very high dynamic performance has been achieved. Next, the paper briefly describes the construction and operation of two secondary subsystems: an optical beam delivery subsystem and a fabric transport system. Then, the computer control subsystem, including hardware and software, is discussed in detail. Finally, the paper outlines plans for the future development of the system, which will include two head cutting capability, collision avoidance, and cutting time optimization.
