After the wheel hub is fixed, the turntable 10 is rotated, driving the second lead screw 9 through the slide block 11 and the mounting bracket 13 to drive the laser... The welding torch 14 moves back and forth along the guide rod 12, thereby moving the laser welding torch 14 directly above the spokes and rim.
