A laser processing device in which even a short nozzle provided with a
follower roller (35) can prevent disturbance of a laser beam and
contamination of protective glass and in which shield gas can act
effectively. The laser processing device comprises a head section (11)
from which a laser beam that is condensed by a condenser lens (16)
provided inside the device is irradiated through a nozzle section (13); a
gas delivery means (28) opened in a processing direction X, in the
vicinity of the focal point of laser beam, and jetting a shield gas from
the opening; a primary air delivery means (31) directed in the processing
direction X, above the focal point F of the laser beam, and jetting
primary air A1 substantially in the horizontal direction to form a first
air curtain; and secondary air delivery means (18, 13, 19) directed to
the focal point from the vicinity of the condenser lens and jetting
secondary air A2 to form a second air curtain.
