<p>A laser processing apparatus which can readily form a processing path in a cutting work. Reading means (1) reads a specification code (Q) for a shape of a cut hole, a dimension ( PHI d) of a cut hole, a position (O) of the center of a cut hole, and a start position (A) and a terminal stop position (Z) of a tip end of a processing head (306). A smooth path forming means (2) forms a smooth path on the basis of the specification code (Q) for a shape of a cut hole, the dimension ( PHI d) of a cut hole, the position (O) of the center of a cut hole, the start position (A) and terminal stop position (Z) so that the entire path produced by the tip end of the processing head (306) becomes smooth. Processing program making means (3) makes a processing program on the basis of the smooth path produced. In accordance with the processing program, the processing head (306) moves to form a cut hole in a work (330). <MATH></p> |
