Abstract

Laser welding is performed while moving irradiation positions of a laser beam and a measurement beam in forward, rightward, rearward and leftward directions, and the penetration depth of a weld portion is measured during laser welding in each of the directions. Then, a direction in which a value smaller than a reference value is measured is determined to be an optical axis deviation direction, and a correction value is added to the values measured during the laser welding when the laser welding is performed in the optical axis deviation direction.
