Patent ID: 10473783

Abstract:
An object is to provide a laser processing device and a laser processing system capable of measuring a distance between a work and a processing head accurately and simply and capable of checking the quality of processing in real time during the processing. Provided are: a photodetector that detects the intensity of a processing laser beam split by optical path splitting means, and outputs a detection signal having a signal intensity responsive to the detected intensity together with a time of detection of the intensity; a signal intensity comparing unit that compares the signal intensities of multiple detection signals received from the photodetector; and a detection time comparing unit that compares times of detection of multiple intensities. The signal intensity comparing unit measures a processing quality by comparing the signal intensity of a detection signal received from the photodetector responsive to an incident beam on a work and the signal intensity of a detection signal received from the photodetector responsive to a reflected beam from the work. The detection time comparing unit measures a distance between a laser processing device and the work by comparing times of detection of the intensities.
