Patent ID: 10710195

Abstract:
When a first sub-controller (14) and a second sub-controller (15) complete preparation for control, a preparation completion signal is sent to a main controller (13). When receiving the preparation completion signal from each of the first and the second sub-controllers (14)(15), the main controller (13) sends a BusyON signal to the first sub-controller (14) and the second sub-controller (15), and then drives a laser source (16) to generate laser light L. Then the main controller (13) sends a BusyOFF signal to the first and the second sub-controllers (14)(15). When the first sub-controller (14) receives the BusyON signal and then receives the BusyOFF signal, the first sub-controller drives a laser-light irradiation unit (17). When the second sub-controller (15) receives the BusyON signal and then receives the BusyOFF signal, the second sub-controller drives a moving mechanism (12).
