Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In order to simplify a configuration even if laser beams of different wavelength bands are used, a laser output device, which oscillates laser beams of plural wavelength bands, and an irradiation head, which performs irradiation by condensing the laser beams of the respective wavelength bands with focal distances thereof being shifted from each other on the same optical axis S, are included.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . (canceled) 2 . A laser processing apparatus comprising: a laser output device that oscillates laser beams having plural wavelength bands; and an irradiation head that is configured to irradiate the laser beams of the respective wavelength bands to condense at focal distances being shifted from each other on the same optical axis, wherein the irradiation head positions, with respect to a workpiece made of an aluminum alloy, a focal position of a laser beam having a long wavelength of 940 nm at a position to be processed, and condenses a laser beam having a short wavelength of 808 nm with a focal point of the laser beam having the long wavelength being placed in the center. 3 . A laser processing apparatus comprising a laser output device that oscillates laser beams having plural wavelength bands; and an irradiation head that is configured to irradiate the laser beams of the respective wavelength bands to condense at focal distances being shifted from each other on the same optical axis, wherein the irradiation head positions, with respect to a workpiece made of an iron or a mild steel, a focal position of a laser beam having a short wavelength of 808 nm at a position to be processed, and condenses a laser beam having a long wavelength of 10.6 μm with a focal point of the laser beam having the short wavelength being placed in the center. 4 . The laser processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a focal distance adjusting device including a concave glass and a convex glass that are each configured to be movable in an optical axis direction. 5 . The laser processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising: a moving mechanism that relatively moves a supporting table, which supports a the workpiece, and the irradiation head; and a control device that adjusts the relative movement between the supporting table and the irradiation head by the moving mechanism, and various conditions of the laser beams output from the laser output device.
