The support arm 33, as the support structure of the welding torch 34, stabilizes the position of the welding torch, reduces the welding quality problems caused by hand shaking or other unstable factors during the welding process, ensures the uniformity and beauty of each weld seam, and improves the overall quality of the welded product. Through the moving base 32 and the second slide rail 35, the positioning and movement during the welding process become more rapid and accurate, shortening the welding preparation time and the welding cycle, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency.
