Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a laser welding technology, in particular to a portable laser welding machine for inner wall girth welds. Background Art

[0002] On some engineering components, it is sometimes necessary to weld some circular workpieces with smaller diameters (such as circular mounting seats, circular flanges, etc.). To ensure the welding quality, these circular workpieces with smaller diameters usually require outer wall ring and inner wall ring welds.

[0003] CNC laser welding equipment is currently used to create girth welds on the inner walls of small-diameter annular workpieces. This equipment utilizes a dual-axis welding head to achieve flat circular welds. However, if the workpiece needs to be welded to a large component, which is difficult to move (i.e., cannot be placed on the CNC laser welding equipment), or if the welded component is located in a narrow space that is difficult for the welding arm to access (e.g., inside a box), then existing CNC laser welding equipment is ineffective. Manual welding, on the other hand, results in low welding efficiency and inconsistent weld quality. Utility Model Content
