Abstract

Welding laser beam is irradiated along welding trajectories set in works, or inspection laser beam is irradiated along scanning trajectories set in a molten pool in the works which has been melted by the welding laser beam. Return light including reflected light from the molten pool in the work, evaporation luminescence generated by melting/evaporating of the work and thermal radiation light radiated from the molten pool in the work is received. A fundamental frequency is detected by conducting Fourier transform on the intensity of the received return light and a welding condition of the welding portion in the work is inspected based on an amplitude under the fundamental frequency and an amplitude under a frequency that is twice as high as the fundamental frequency.
