Abstract

In a laser beam machine head, when a filler wire and an optical axis of a laser beam are arranged coaxially, a convex roof mirror and a concave roof mirror are combined to divide the laser beam into two separate laser beams to that no laser beam is projected onto a filler wire feed pipe. Furthermore, the filler wire is fed from outside the laser beams to a condensing position via a filler wire guide in the spacing between the separate laser beams, or an electrode supported by a water flow pipe or an electrode holding pipe is brought close to the condensing position.
