PRODUCTION LASER INSTALLATIONS ARE THREE MACHINE TYPES, REGARDLESS OF THE PROCESS. FIRST, THE RECTILINEAR MANIPULATION OF THE BEAM AT THE WORKPIECE. SECOND, THE RECTILINEAR PRESENTATION OF THE WORKPIECE TO A STATIONARY BEAM. THIRD, A COMBINATION OF RECTILINEAR MOTIONS OF THE LASER BEAM AND THE WORKPIECE. SEVERAL OF THE INSTALLED PRODUCTION MACHINES ARE GIVEN THE CLASSIFICATION OF A LASER ROBOT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DEGREE OF AUTOMATIC OR SEMIAUTOMATIC-CONTROLLED PORTION OF THE MANUFACTURING CYCLE. MOST OF THESE MACHINES MANUFACTURE A LIMITED SCOPE OF PARTS, THEREFORE, THESE MACHINES ARE BASICALLY DEDICATED MACHINES. AS AN ENERGY BEAM, A LASER IS VERY FLEXIBLE REGARDING PROCESSING TASKS. HOWEVER, THE LASER BECOMES PROCESS RESTRICTED TO A DEGREE WHEN INCORPORATED INTO A DEDICATED MACHINE, PARTIALLY DUE TO THE LIMITING CONFIGURATION OF PARTS THAT CAN BE PROCESSED ON A DEDICATED RECTILINEAR
