Embroidering and laser processing machine

A laser processing machine comprising a work holder capable of holding a work and controlled for movement in X- and Y-axis directions according to predetermined movement data;

• a plurality of laser heads, each capable of performing laser processing on the work held by the work holder;
• a plurality of laser generators provided for respective laser heads;
• the predetermined movement data including laser codes for on-off control of the laser generators;
• each laser generator being on-off controlled according to the laser codes by a control voltage;
• the value of each control voltage for generating common output power being memorized for each laser generator;
• and
• each said control voltage corresponding to the memorized value of control voltage being outputted to the respective laser generators upon reception of a processing execution command for executing laser processing, thus causing the laser heads to perform laser processing simultaneously with the common output power.

An embroidering and laser processing machine comprising:

• a machine table including a work holder for holding a work;
• means for movement of the machine table in X- and Y-axis directions according to predetermined movement data, a sewing head provided on a machine frame disposed above the machine table and capable of performing a sewing operation on the work held by the work holder;
• a laser generator;
• at least one laser head disposed above the machine table, said laser head capable of performing laser processing on the work held by the work holder;
• and control means including the predetermined movement data including laser control data for controlling operating the laser generator;
• said laser control data including codes for on-off control of the laser generator.
