Voltage fluctuating time integrating means integrates voltage fluctuating time when voltage of a sensor electrode fluctuates as a voltage fluctuation integrated time, and voltage fluctuation occurrence rate computing means computes a rate of occurrence of voltage fluctuation for time on the basis of the voltage fluctuation integrated time integrated. By doing so, quantity of generated plasma can be taken as the rate of occurrence of voltage fluctuation, and plasma detection judging means can easily detect large volume of generated plasma on the basis of the computed voltage fluctuation occurrence rate. Then, it is not necessary to provide a circuit for measuring electric resistance between the sensor electrode and a workpiece as a conventional way, thereby avoiding complexly structured plasma detector.

A sensor 42d is provided for detecting release of a state of a workpiece fixed and held with workpiece holding members during rotation of a spindle 9. When the release of the state of the wokpiece fixed and held is detected, the sliding members are driven in a direction of an axial center (in a direction as shown by an arrow D) by a reciprocating drive means 42. Even if holding force, such as the oil pressure of the workpiece holding member, is lowered, the decrease of the holding force of the workpiece can be extremely avoided by moving the sliding members in the direction of the workpiece.

A laser processing unit includes a torch that is automatically mounted on a processing head. The torch has an assist gas chamber and a balance chamber, and the assist gas is supplied to the chambers. Constantly, equal pressures act on the both chambers, and an upward first force and a downward second force that act on a lens holder offset each other because pressure reception areas are equal. Gas is supplied to a gas spring chamber to provide a constant upward force to the lens holder. A driving device has an arm driven by a servomotor. The arm is in contact with a pin and the lens holder is moved to a predetermined position for automatically adjusting a focus position FC of a collective lens.

A joint structure for directly joining a plurality of pipes is provided. A first pipe 10 has a joined end face 11 obtained by laser machining at a predetermined angle to an axis and a tenon 12 formed on a joined end face. A second pipe 20 has a joined end face 21 obtained by laser machining at a predetermined angle to an axis and a mortice 22. By fitting the tenon 12 of the first pipe 10 to the mortice 22 of the second pipe 20, a joint structure of the two pipes 10, 20 is formed. The joined end face 11 of the first pipe 10 and the joined end face 21 of the second pipe 20 are on surface contact over the entire thickness of the pipe.

A method for performing piercing preferentially on a laser beam machine by taking advantage of a capability to change laser machining tools automatically. A laser beam machine is equipped with a device for changing a torch and nozzle automatically. The laser beam machine is equipped with a means of selecting preferential treatment of piercing after nesting data is prepared by a CAM or NC system and performs piercing alone in favor of cutting by changing to a special-purpose piercing tool.

A device for detecting the position of a seam on a welded pipe in a three-dimensional laser beam machine for processing pipes. The three-dimensional laser beam machine has a chuck 62 for holding, rotating and axially moving a cylindrical pipe 400. A weld seam detection device 100 is equipped with a sensor head 110 provided on a laser processing main body 30. The sensor head 110 has a master lever 120 that moves along an inner wall surface 410 of the cylindrical pipe 400 and a sensor lever 140. When the cylindrical pipe 400 is rotated and the sensor lever 140 contacts the weld seam, the movement of the sensor lever 140 is detected by a micro switch 150, which sends a signal to an NC device 90 by which the weld seam position is recognized.

The invention provides a rotation-type changer of torches and nozzles for a laser beam machine having a movable table. The automatic tool changer 100 of a laser beam machine is equipped with a plurality of torch holders 160 and a nozzle changer 170 disposed on the magazine 150. The working head 40 moves in a Y-axis direction perpendicular to the paper plane and in a Z-axis direction. The torch holder 160 storing the torch to be exchanged is rotated along the Y-axis path line and the working head 40 is lowered to exchange the torch.

The invention provides a method for fabricating a large sheet metal product having a three-dimensional shape such as a cover of a machine tool, without performing a welding process, and a product fabricated by the same. A cover unit 1 of a machine tool is fabricated by fixing to a circumference edge portion of a cover sheet 10 edge members 110, 120, 130, 210, 220, 230, 310 and 410 via fastening members such as bolts and nuts. The cover sheet 10 and each of the edge members are formed by nesting an expansion plan based on a three-dimensional solid model data of the cover unit 1 on a sheet metal material on a laser beam machine, and subjecting the same to laser processing. At this time, various information such as bend lines and bend angles required in the post process are marked off on each component via laser processing. The components having been subjected to high-precision laser processing are subjected to necessary bending process. The components are then assembled using fastening members to fabricate a large sheet metal product having a three-dimensional shape without performing a welding process.
