Abstract: The laser marking apparatus L includes a printing controller 100 that executes a printing process to form a predetermined printing pattern Pm within a printing area R1, and pre-post printing processes performed before and after the printing process; a storage unit 303 that stores order information Io; a workflow editor 304c that edits a workflow Wf defining a series of processes including the printing process; and an input receiver 304g that accepts selection of pre-post printing processes to be included in the workflow Wf according to user input from the pre-post printing processes. The workflow editor 304c adds the pre-post printing processes, for which selection has been accepted by the input receiver 304g, to the workflow Wf in an order according to the order information Io. The printing controller 100 executes the printing process and the pre-post printing processes in the order defined by the edited workflow Wf.

Abstract: A laser printing apparatus includes: an input interface for setting a printing pattern on a setting plane; a first selection unit that displays a plurality of different types of materials on a display unit and selects one thereof; a second selection unit that displays a plurality of different types of laser printing methods corresponding to a workpiece of a type on the display unit based on the type of a material selected by the first selection unit, and selects any one thereof; and a printing condition setting unit that sets a printing condition for printing the printing pattern on the workpiece of the material type by a laser printing method based on the printing pattern set by the input interface, the type of the material selected by the first selection unit, and a type of the laser printing method selected by the second selection unit.

Abstract: High processing accuracy of a workpiece is maintained even if the workpiece is misaligned. A laser processing apparatus includes: a setting section that sets a pattern area and a distance measurement position on a captured image; a condition setting storage section that stores image information in the pattern area; a position correction section that detects a misalignment of a new workpiece different from a workpiece used to set the pattern area and corrects the distance measurement position on the new workpiece; a distance measurement section that measures a distance based on a light reception position of distance measuring light in a distance measuring light receiving section; and a Z scanner that adjusts a focal position based on a measurement result of the distance measurement section prior to irradiation of the workpiece with laser light.
