On the other hand, the present invention relates to adjusting the position where the side nozzle is attached to the laser processing head so that the side gas is properly injected to the processing point. FIG. 5 shows, for example, JP-A-5
It is a schematic block diagram which shows the mounting position adjusting device of the conventional side nozzle for laser processing heads shown by 9-218289. In the figure, 1 is a processing head, 2 is a laser beam, 3 is a processed material, 4 is a small diameter side nozzle having an inclination of about 10 to 30 ° with respect to the processed surface of the processed material 3, and 5 is a side nozzle 4. Of the transparent or translucent small window attached to the side opposite to the nozzle opening of the work piece 3 and capable of seeing the processing point on the processing surface of the processing material 3, 6 is the position when the side nozzle 4 is moved up and down Is a reference scale, 7 is a reference way for moving the side nozzle 4 up and down, 8 is a bearing case that moves along the way 7, 9 is a screw bearing, 10 is a screw, 11 Is a vertical movement adjustment handle of the side nozzle 4, 12 is a vertical movement locking pin of the side nozzle 4, and 13 is a horizontal movement adjustment handle of the side nozzle 4. Next, the operation will be described. First, in order to know the focus position of the laser beam 2, the laser output is set to about several tens to several hundreds of watts so as to emit a pale light only when the processed surface of the processed material 3 is near the focus. While the laser beam 2 is focused on the processing surface, the vertical movement adjustment handle 11 and the horizontal movement adjustment handle 13 of the side nozzle 4 are observed while observing the pale white plasma emission from the small window 5 of the side nozzle 4. By rotating, the side nozzle 4 is moved at a right angle or parallel to the processing surface, and the set position is determined so that the side gas from the side nozzle 4 is correctly injected to the processing point.
