<p>A laser processing head comprises nozzle-holding means (5) for holding a nozzle in which a nozzle hole (11) is formed; condensing optical system-holding means (3) for holding a condensing optical system (2), the condensing optical system-holding means being slidably arranged in the nozzle-holding means while maintaining sealing, moving means (6) for slide-moving the nozzle-holding means and the condensing optical system-holding means relative to each other; gas-feeding means (13, 19) for feeding a gas into a laser processing head chamber (8) formed between the condensing optical system of the condensing optical system-holding means and the nozzle hole of the nozzle-holding means; passages (31) formed in the nozzle-holding means to communicate the laser processing head chamber with the exterior of the nozzle-holding means; slide members (33) that slide in the passages while maintaining sealing; and coupling means (35) for coupling the slide members to the condensing optical system-holding means. Therefore, the condensing optical system-holding means or the nozzle-holding means can be moved with a small force without providing an annular gas sub-chamber.</p> |
