  • Patent number: 11235590
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a laser processing apparatus, that perform laser processing on an object with laser light, includes a plurality of optical heads. The optical heads each includes a laser head unit that emits a plurality of laser light beams in an arranged manner in a predetermined direction, and an optical system that focuses the emitted plurality of laser light beams on the object conveyed relatively with respect to the laser head unit in a conveying direction intersecting the predetermined direction. The optical heads each includes a first optical head group and a second optical head group in which the optical heads are adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction. The first optical head group and the second optical head group are adjacent to each other in the conveying direction and arranged while being shifted from each other by a predetermined length in the predetermined direction.

  • Publication number: 20210268808
    Abstract: A laser recording method is for processing a recording object with laser light emitted from a laser light source. The laser recording method includes: detecting a moving speed of the recording object with a location of the laser light source when the laser light source emits laser light, as an observation point, while moving at least one of the recording object and the laser light source; and correcting power output of the laser light set such that an amount of energy applied by the laser light per unit area of the recording object is constant even if the moving speed is changed, to compensate energy loss derived from thermal diffusion occurring on the recording object based on the moving speed detected at the detecting.
