Single pendulum and double pendulum are laser machine systems. As the name suggests, a single pendulum refers to a system that uses only one swing mechanism in the welding equipment, while a double pendulum has two. Different swing modes have different advantages and suitable applications. This article will give you an in-depth understanding of the differences between different swing systems and how to choose one.
The swing system is a key part of the welding system, which handles controlling the scanning path of the laser beam during welding. The control system will calculate the motion trajectory of the swing mechanism based on the preset welding parameters. Then, the control system drives the swing motor. Finally, the transmission device drives the swing mechanism to move according to the preset trajectory.
The pendulum welding head can only move in one direction, that is, it can only move in one direction. Although the flexibility is low, it is simple to operate and can meet most welding needs.
The double-swing welding head can move horizontally and vertically, which makes it more flexible in welding. Yet, due to the complicated movement of the double pendulum, certain experience requirements are required for welders.
Where high-precision welding is required, the double-pendulum system can achieve higher accuracy. Although the pendulum system can also achieve a certain degree of accuracy, it is still difficult to achieve precision welding in complex situations.
Dual pendulum systems work together to achieve more efficient welding. That is, while one swing mechanism is welding, the other swing mechanism is preparing the next welding path, which reduces the waiting time. The pendulum system needs to wait for one welding path to be completed before proceeding to the next welding.
The structure of a double pendulum system is relatively complex, so the cost is usually higher than that of a single pendulum system. Yet, where high-precision, high-efficiency welding is required, the return on investment of a double-pendulum system will be higher.
When selecting a suitable swing system, the following factors should be considered:
If the welding workpiece has a simple structure and the welding area is small, a pendulum system may be a better choice.
If the workpiece structure is complex, or the area to be welded is large, a dual pendulum system may be suitable.
Pendulum welding is faster, but prone to problems such as penetration, pores, and spatter. If you have extreme requirements for welding speed, you can consider pendulum welding.
Double pendulum welding has higher quality welds. If you value weld quality more, a double pendulum system may be a better choice.
Pendulum Control System The laser beam can only move in one direction. Suitable for common simple welding needs, such as furniture welding, sheet metal welding, billboard welding, etc.
Double pendulum control system The laser beam can move freely. It is suitable for welding tasks with complex workpiece structures and changeable processing paths, such as mechanical components with included and dead corners.
The structure of the double pendulum system is relatively complex and usually, the cost is relatively high. The choice can be weighed based on budget and actual needs.
In laser handheld welding, single pendulum and double pendulum each have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, we should comprehensively consider the actual situation to choose the machine that best suits our needs.
