The paper considers a possible way to expand the technological capabilities of numerically controlled machines by upgrading and integrating a fiber laser system into their composition. An important task is to facilitate the details of laser head housing while maintaining their stiffness parameters. To achieve the aim of the research, the laser head body was completely redesigned, some structural elements were combined, and all the walls of the body became lighter and more functional. The new design will be much more convenient to use while maintaining the same rigidity. The new laser head housing will make it possible to expand the range of work for numerically controlled machines, which in turn will lead to a reduction in the production time of not only one product, but also the final product as a whole. This approach will reduce the cost of maintaining and maintaining a large number of equipment, since the integration of laser equipment into numerically controlled machines will reduce the number of equipment in the workshops. In addition, marking and manufacturing parts on the same machine will not only significantly automate the processes of further Assembly of the final product by applying QR codes, but also will increase the accuracy of marking and engraving on the product due to a one-step process.
