Abstract / scope
ISO/TS 17477:2003 provides a guideline on minimum requirements for acceptance tests by using practical test methods for the two-dimensional CO2-laser beam machines for welding and cutting, fixing a workpiece on the platen, by using moving optics. It is not applicable to the machines that use an articulated robot.
ISO/TS 17477:2003 does not cover hazard protection devices that shall be used with laser machining equipment such as the devices for discharging chips and particles that are generated during welding and cutting.
