    摘要: A laser system preventing a light-guiding member that guides a laser beam from being overheated is provided. A laser system includes a laser device including a resonator section configured to generate a laser beam and a light-guiding member configured to guide the laser beam generated by the resonator section, a detection device configured to detect, as a detection value, a temperature of the laser device or a magnitude of the laser beam guided by the light-guiding member, an emission control section configured to stop emission of the laser beam from the resonator section to the light-guiding member when the detection value exceeding a predetermined threshold, and a stop-time determination section configured to determine a stop time for causing the emission control section to stop emission of the laser beam based on the detection value detected by the detection device.

    摘要: A laser processing device having a function for avoiding interference during an approach motion of a processing nozzle of the laser processing device. When a distance between a processing nozzle and a workpiece is equal to a setting value where gap control can be started, it is judged as to whether or not the mechanical position of the processing nozzle is above a predetermined processing start position. When the mechanical position of the processing nozzle is higher than the processing start position, a controller judges that an abnormality occurs by which laser processing cannot be carried out, and automatically stops the approach motion of the processing nozzle.
