Ein Laserstrahlbearbeitungskopf und eine Laserbearbeitungsvorrichtung mit einem solchen Laserstrahlbearbeitungskopf

A coaxial laser beam machining head, and a laser beam machining apparatus having it are provided. The head is small in size, free from the risk of damaging optical instruments, and inexpensive. The head comprises a collimating lens array, a first reflecting mirror for dividing laser light into a first divisional laser beam and a second divisional laser beam, a second reflecting mirror for further reflecting the first divisional laser beam to form a space portion between both divisional laser beams, a focusing lens array for focusing both divisional laser beams onto a portion to be welded, and a GMA electrode disposed in the space portion coaxially with the laser beams; or comprises a collimating lens array, a first reflecting mirror for reflecting part of laser light to form a space portion in a body of the laser light, a second reflecting mirror for further reflecting the part of the laser light, a focusing lens array for focusing the body of the laser light and the part of the laser light onto a portion to be welded, and a GMA electrode disposed in the space portion coaxially with the body of the laser light.
