Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a fault of a laser beam oscillator by detecting reflected light from a workpiece to enter the laser beam oscillator by running counter to an output laser beam optical axis and stopping the output of the laser beam oscillator. CONSTITUTION:A laser beam outputted from the laser beam oscillator 7 is reflected by a bending mirror 6 and projected on the workpiece w to perform machining. The output of the laser beam transmitted through the bending mirror 6 is measured and monitored by a sensor 8. The laser beam struck and reflected on the workpiece W is partially passed through the mirror 6. A sensor 9 detects this laser beam and a power meter 10 for detecting effected light amplifies it and outputs it to a controller 13. The controller 13 stops the output of the laser beam oscillator 7 and displays an alarm. Since the reflected light from the workpiece W flowing backward to the laser beam oscillator 7 is detected to stop the laser beam output, the fault of the laser beam oscillator is prevented.
