Patent ID: 8436273

Claim:
A processing information supply apparatus for supplying processing information applied to a laser processing apparatus for forming a modified region, which becomes a starting point of cutting, within an object to be processed along a line to cut the object by irradiating the object with laser light while locating a light-converging point within the object, the processing information supply apparatus comprising: object information input means for inputting processing object information on the object to be processed; a processing condition database in which data on processing conditions to form the modified region within the object to be processed by irradiating the object with the laser light, corresponding to the processing object information in the laser processing apparatus, is accumulated; processing condition setting means for referring to the processing condition data included in the processing condition database and setting a processing condition for the object to be processed based on the processing object information input from the object information input means; and condition information output means for outputting processing condition information for the processing condition set by the processing condition setting means.
