After the camera (26) reaches the designated position, it immediately takes the first photo. The photo is transmitted to the touch screen controller. The touch screen controller recognizes the welding mark in the photo, and then calculates the coordinates of the welding mark and sends it to the third servo motor (331) and the first servo motor (112) according to the specified rules. The photo is taken according to the size of the picture taken by the camera (26). There are one or more marks in the picture. After receiving the instruction, the third servo motor (331) drives the second servo motor (112) to move. The shaft (332) rotates, thereby rotating the X-axis screw rod (37), causing the welding head mounting plate (39) to slide on the second linear slide rail (35), causing the swing welding head (313) to move along the X-axis, and driving the reducer (113) to rotate through the first servo motor (112), thereby driving the gear (12) to rotate, and through the coordination of the rack (13), causing the first mounting plate (17) and the second mounting plate (19) to slide on the first linear slide rail (16), and driving the overall bracket (32) to move along the Y-axis through the first mounting plate (17) and the second mounting plate (19), causing the swing welding head (313) to move along the Y-axis, and then move to the end point where welding is required, and then turning off the laser. , the welding of the welding mark captured for the first time can be completed, and then the swing welding head (313) is controlled to move along the Y-axis and X-axis coordinates along the direction of entry of the welding workpiece, and then a second photo is taken and identified, and a new welding mark is identified. The height of the machine tool guide rail protective cover to be welded is manually re-measured, and the measurement data is input into the touch screen controller. The welding is performed again according to the above steps. When the camera (26) fails to capture the feature point twice, it is considered that the welding of the current product is completed, the X, Y and Z axes return to the origin, the plate chain conveyor line (4) moves forward, and the current product is moved to the unloading position. The plate chain conveyor line (4) stops, and the welded protective cover is manually taken out at the unloading position.
