Abstract
A laser welding device includes: an irradiator configured to overlap laser light and measurement light coaxially with each other and apply the laser light and the measurement light to a weld part, a wavelength of the measurement light being different from a wavelength of the laser light; a measuring instrument configured to repeatedly measure a weld penetration depth of the weld part based on the measurement light that is emitted from the irradiator and reflected on the weld part so as to generate measured values; and a determiner configured to determine the weld penetration depth of the weld part based on: (i) one or more of the measured values; or (ii) an average value of the one or more measured values, the one or more measured values being included within a predetermined range with reference to a greatest side measured value of the measured values.
