Laser processing device, laser processing method, and recovery mechanism

A laser processing method of irradiating a workpiece with laser light from a laser head, the laser processing method comprising:

• a first recovery step of supplying a scavenging gas from a first air supply nozzle and suctioning the scavenging gas including a product generated by the irradiation with the laser light through a first suction duct;
• and
• a second recovery step of supplying the scavenging gas from a second air supply nozzle and suctioning the scavenging gas including the product through a second suction duct, wherein the first recovery step and the second recovery step are selectively performed.

A recovery mechanism that recovers a product such as spatter, fume, and the like, the recovery mechanism comprising:

• a first recovery unit that includes a first air supply nozzle that supplies a scavenging gas and a first suction duct that is provided to face the first air supply nozzle;
• and
• a second recovery unit that includes a second air supply nozzle that supplies the scavenging gas and a second suction duct that is provided to face the second air supply nozzle.
