A multi-axis laser machine in which the working efficiency can be improved
even when machining positions in respective systems are different from
each other. The positioning operation of a laser positioning unit for
positioning an optical path of a laser beam in an axis and the
positioning operation of another laser positioning unit for positioning
another optical path of the laser beam in another axis are performed
independently of each other. An arbitration unit monitors the laser
positioning units as to whether they have finished positioning or not.
The arbitration unit operates a deflection unit (AOM) so as to supply the
laser beam to one of the laser positioning units which has finished
positioning. Incidentally, when the laser positioning units finish
positioning simultaneously, the arbitration unit supplies the laser beam
to the laser positioning units in a predetermined sequence.
