Abstract
An inspecting unit for use in a laser processing apparatus includes a camera configured to image a spot of a laser beam, and a processing unit configured to generate a light intensity at two-dimensional X-Y coordinates corresponding to a two-dimensional image imaged by the camera. The processing unit includes a determining unit configured to generate a three-dimensional approximate curve or an approximate curved surface such that the light intensity corresponding to the two-dimensional coordinates is set as a Z-coordinate, and determine that there is dirt, a flaw, or an abnormality in an optical system on an optical path on the laser oscillator side of a position at which the spot is imaged when a difference between the first light intensity of the Z-coordinate corresponding to the two-dimensional coordinates and a second light intensity indicated by the approximate curve or the approximate curved surface exceeds an allowable value.
