    Abstract: A laser processing apparatus includes a laser oscillator that oscillates processing laser light to be incident on a processing point on a processing surface of a workpiece, a coupling mirror that deflects or transmits the processing laser light and measurement light to be incident on the processing point toward the processing point, a measurement light deflection unit that changes an incident angle of the measurement light on the coupling mirror, a lens that concentrates the processing laser light and the measurement light on the processing point, a controller that controls the laser oscillator and the measurement light deflection unit, a measurement processor that measures a depth of a keyhole generated at the processing point by the processing laser light by using an optical interference signal based on an interference generated by an optical path difference between the measurement light reflected at the processing point and reference light, and a beam position measurement unit that measures positions of the processing laser light and the measurement light.

    Abstract: A laser processing apparatus sets a processing section passing through a target position on a processing surface, sets a measurement section centered on the target position in the processing section, sets a plurality of data acquisition positions that are trajectories perpendicular to a processing direction in the measurement section. The laser processing apparatus acquires pieces of measurement data indicating shapes of keyholes at the respective data acquisition positions during processing of the processing section, and projects the pieces of measurement data in the processing direction to be superimposed on each other to create projection data. The laser processing apparatus obtains the second instruction value in a direction perpendicular to the processing direction at the target position on the basis of the projection data. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laser processing apparatus and a laser processing method capable of accurately measuring a depth of a keyhole.
