LASER PROCESSING METHOD, LASER PROCESSING DEVICE AND CABLE HARNESS PRODUCTION METHOD
First Claim
1. A laser processing method, comprising:
- preparing a laser-processing stage which has;
an installation surface; and
a plurality of reflecting members arranged at fixed intervals along a predetermined direction on the installation surface, the plurality of reflecting members respectively having reflecting surfaces inclined relative to the installation surface,arranging a plurality of objects on the installation surface of the laser-processing stage such that the objects are respectively positioned between adjacent reflecting members among the plurality of reflecting members, andirradiating alternately one of the objects and one of the reflecting members by scanning along the predetermined direction with laser light radiated onto the installation surface of the laser-processing stage from a direction perpendicular to the installation surface, whereinlaser light that has reached one of the reflecting members is reflected by the reflecting surface of the reflecting member reached by the laser light, and one lateral surface of the object, among the plurality of objects, that is adjacent to the reflecting member reached by the laser light is irradiated.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a laser processing method and the like provided with a structure for enabling realization of both preferable processing of locations not easily reached by laser light and effective inhibition of damage caused to locations easily reached by laser light during laser processing. Radiation optics scan locations irradiated with laser light from a laser light source while radiating laser light onto a plurality of objects arranged on a stage and the periphery thereof from a direction perpendicular to the stage. On the stage reflecting members are respectively arranged adjacent to the plurality of objects. The reflecting members reflect laser light radiated from the radiation optics towards lateral surfaces of the objects. Since laser light reflected by the reflecting members is radiated onto the lateral surfaces of the objects, laser light also reaches the lateral surfaces of the objects not easily reached by laser light without having to increase the intensity of the laser light.
