[0034] The oscillating head is fixedly connected to the laser nozzle and laser welding gun, enabling continuous laser manufacturing of parts, including 3D printing, laser welding, and laser surface treatment.
[0035] The multi-functional, multi-process application equipment for 3D printing, welding, surface treatment, processing, and measurement includes: a B-axis set on the central axis of the crossbeam 99 and rotatably connected to the crossbeam 99; the B-axis is directly driven by a torque motor 94; one end of the B-axis is vertically fixedly connected to the swing head 79 at the worktable 104; the other end of the B-axis is fixedly and directly connected to an angle grating ruler; the rotor of the B-axis torque motor 94 is equipped with a mechanical locking mechanism; the stator of the B-axis torque motor 94 is equipped with circulating water cooling; the rotor and bearings of the B-axis torque motor 92 are equipped with circulating oil cooling; and the B-axis drives the swing head 79 to swing in positive and negative directions.
[0036] A crossbeam 99 is mounted on the top surface of a support slide 90. Two linear guides fixed to the bottom surface of the crossbeam 99 are slidably connected to a slider fixed to the top surface of the support slide 90. Fixed support seats 82 and 89 are mounted on the top surface of the crossbeam 99. Slider blocks fixed to the bottom surfaces of fixed support seats 82 and 89 are slidably connected to two linear guides fixed to the top surface of the crossbeam 99. A balance block 103 is mounted on the top surface of fixed support seats 82 and 89. Two linear guides fixed to the bottom surface of the balance block 103 are slidably connected to sliders fixed to the top surfaces of fixed support seats 82 and 89. This balances the crossbeam 99 on the Y-axis. During motion, the center of gravity shifts. A Y-axis servo motor 95 drives the crossbeam 99, and a U-axis servo motor 93 drives the balance block 103. The weight of the Y-axis crossbeam 99 motion mechanism is equal to the weight of the U-axis balance block 103 motion mechanism. The pitch of the U-axis ball screw 102 is twice that of the Y-axis ball screw 98. The Y-axis screw nut seat is fixedly connected to the support slide 90. The bearing seats at both ends of the Y-axis ball screw 98 are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 99. The Y-axis servo motor 95 drives the crossbeam 99 to reciprocate on the support slide 90. The U-axis screw nut seat is fixedly connected to the balance block 103. The U-axis ball screw 102... 02 The bearing seats at both ends are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 99. The U-axis servo motor 93 drives the balance block 103 to reciprocate on the crossbeam 99. The crossbeam 99 and the balance block 103 move synchronously towards each other relative to the center position of the support slide 90. The Y-axis is the driving axis and the U-axis is the driven axis. The Y-axis is equipped with a grating ruler for closed-loop control. The fixed support seat 82 and fixed support seat 89 located between the crossbeam 99 and the balance block 103 are equivalent to double-sided sliders, used to allow the crossbeam 99 and the balance block 103 to slide respectively. The cylinder bodies of the four support plunger cylinders 80 prevent the fixed support seat 82 and fixed support seat 89 from moving in the Y-axis direction. Manual rotation By adjusting the relative position of the balance block 103 and the crossbeam 99 using the ball screw 102, the combined center of gravity of the crossbeam 99 motion mechanism and the balance block 103 motion mechanism can be adjusted to the center position of the support slide 90. When the crossbeam 99 and the balance block 103 move synchronously towards each other relative to the center position of the support slide 90, the combined center of gravity of the crossbeam 99 motion mechanism and the balance block 103 motion mechanism always remains stationary at the center of the support slide 90. This ensures that the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by each slider fixed on the support slide 90 on the crossbeam 99 are always equal and unchanged, breaking through the technical bottleneck that the Y-axis crossbeam 99 should not extend too far.
[0037] Rectangular columns 81 and 88 are vertically and fixedly connected to the machine tool base 112. Two linear guides fixed to the side of rectangular column 81 are slidably connected to a slider fixed to one side of the support slide 90.

The cylinder bodies of the four support plunger cylinders 80 are fixedly connected to the support slide 90, and the lower ends of the plungers of the four support plunger cylinders 80 are fixedly connected to the machine tool base 112. The hydraulic system of the counterweight balancing mechanism automatically balances the weight of the moving mechanism of the support slide 90 through the four support plunger cylinders 80. The Z-axis servo motor 84 and the V-axis servo motor 85 synchronously drive the moving mechanism of the support slide 90 to reciprocate up and down between the rectangular columns 81 and 88. The Z-axis is the driving axis, and the V-axis is the driven axis. The Z-axis and V-axis are equipped with closed-loop control by grating rulers. The counterweight balancing mechanism uses a booster cylinder to automatically store high-pressure and low-pressure oil in the hydraulic system. The high-pressure oil controls the mechanical locking of the horizontal turntable's rotating shaft, the vertical turntable's rotating shaft, the B-axis rotating shaft, and the swivel head spindle. The low-pressure oil controls the clamping and releasing motion of the four-lobed jaws 15, and the cutting arm 100 and cutting arm 97 for tool removal, tool rotation, and linear motion. The hydraulic system of the counterweight balancing mechanism automatically balances the weight of the moving mechanism of the support slide 90 through four support piston cylinders 80. The counterweight balancing mechanism is equipped with leakage and pressure loss protection control for the support piston cylinders 80.
