Abstract:
A laser processing apparatus including a processing nozzle for irradiating a workpiece with laser beam, a driving mechanism for relatively moving the processing nozzle and the workpiece, and a gap sensor for detecting a gap between the processing nozzle and the workpiece. The apparatus includes a gap control section referring to a measured value detected by the gap sensor and calculating a manipulating variable used for controlling the driving mechanism so as to maintain the gap during execution of laser processing at a first dimension, a power monitoring section monitoring electric power from a power supply and sending an abnormality detection signal to the gap control section when a power abnormality occurs, and a control action switching section switching a control action of the gap control section so as to increase the gap from the first dimension when the abnormality detection signal is sent to the gap control section.

Claim (Index 3):
The laser processing apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a position detecting section configured to detect a relative position between said processing nozzle and said workpiece, wherein\n said gap control section reduces said manipulating variable to zero when a detected value of said position detecting section has reached a value corresponding to a second dimension previously determined to be larger than said first dimension.
