Abstract
A laser processing apparatus of the present invention comprises a laser light source which generates laser light, a transmission part which transmits laser light generated by the laser light source, and a processing head which condenses laser light transmitted by the second transmission part to irradiate a workpiece. The transmission part has a plurality of fiber cores and uses any one of the fiber cores to transmit laser light to the processing head. Each fiber core has an emission end which faces the processing head and is fixedly arranged with respect to the processing head. The laser processing apparatus further comprises a switching part which switches the fiber core which actually transmits laser light to the processing head among the plurality of fiber cores.
