A machining head having a multi-axis structure that rotatably supports orientation of a tip that emits a laser beam used for a three-dimensional laser processing machine according to the present disclosure includes a buffer in an arm that forms a predetermined angle with a direction in which a laser beam is emitted. The buffer includes: a first coupler that includes a first coupling surface provided near a tip; a second coupler that includes a second coupling surface facing the first coupling surface; and a coupling member that couples the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface. When the tip is collided with a collision force, the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are separated.
