Abstract
A laser machine includes a laser oscillator, a cooler for cooling the laser oscillator, and a control unit for controlling the laser oscillator and the cooler. The control unit includes a controller that stops base discharge of the laser oscillator at a time when a specified time has elapsed from a stop of laser light emission by the laser oscillator. According to the laser machine, since base discharge of the laser oscillator is stopped after the specified time has elapsed from the stop of laser light emission, wasteful energy (power) consumption of the laser oscillator in a standby state can be restricted.
