Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an optical guide for laser which permits easy laser working with high accuracy, by providing a means which sets a visible light path to be superposed on the laser light coaxially and around the same. CONSTITUTION:A bender 10 for superposing visible light which superposes visible light 5 coaxially with laser light 2 is provided around the laser light 2 in an optical guide for laser to be irradiated to the work. The light 5 is conducted as parallel beams of a large diameter to a lens 6 by lenses 11, 12. As a result, the condensing diameter of the visible light of a nozzle 7 is made equal to the aperture diameter of the nozzle 7 or slightly larger than the same, and the shadow in the aperture part of the nozzle is projected on the work 9. As a result, the operator is able to set coaxially the nozzle 7 and the laser light 2 with ease. The working accuracy is thus improved and the damage accident of the nozzle 7 owing to mis-alignment is prevented.
