Problems solved by technology

For example, collimating lenses for the beam entering the processing head, deflecting mirrors for any beams and focusing lenses may be exposed to high operating temperatures which, depending on the incidence of the processing laser beam, may lead to cracks or structural deformation inside the volume of the optical components
