Patent ID: 8153931

Claim:
A laser processing system for processing a work surface within a working area with a predetermined processing pattern by the use of a laser beam, said laser processing system comprising: laser generating means for generating a laser beam for processing; scanning means for two-dimensionally scanning a work surface with said laser beam within a scanning area that is scanned by said laser beam; control means for controlling said laser generating means and said scanning means so as to process said work surface by said laser beam according to laser processing conditions; work setting means for setting as said laser processing conditions a position of said work surface within said scanning area and a three-dimensional profile of said work surface; processing pattern setting means for setting as said processing conditions a processing pattern and a position of said processing pattern on said work surface; data generating means for generating laser processing data for said work surface according to said laser processing conditions; display means for displaying representation of said laser processing data in three dimensions; a defective area detection device to detect a defective work surface area of said work surface that is an area of said work surface hidden from laser beam irradiation and a defective work surface area of said work surface that is a feeble area of said work surface exposed to laser beam irradiation at an angle within a predetermined range of angle depending upon said laser processing conditions set by said work setting means; and a warning device to provide a warning when said defective area detection device detects said defective work surface area; and wherein said work setting means comprises profile selecting means for selecting said three-dimensional profile of said work surface from a plurality of predetermined three-dimensional profiles and details setting means for setting details of said processing pattern on said selected three-dimensional profile of said work surface.
