Original Abstract Submitted
A laser processing device includes: a controller unit, a light source unit, and a head unit. The light source unit includes a laser light source, a light-source drive circuit, and a light-source control unit. The light-source control unit is configured so as to transmit a response signal in response to a request signal. The controller unit includes a light-source power circuit that supplies a light-source drive voltage to the light-source drive circuit. A main control unit of the controller unit: transmits the request signal; determines, on the basis of the received response signal, whether the light source unit can be driven; supplies the light-source drive voltage to the light-source drive circuit from the light-source power circuit in the case in which it is determined that the light source unit can be driven.
