Off-Line Programming System of Multi-Axis Platform for Dual Beam Laser Welding

The multi-axis platform of dual beam laser welding (DBLW) can guarantee a good synchronism on double sides, adaptation and precision, thus it can be widely applied. On this platform, this paper studies critical technology of off-line programming of DBLW. It presents a U-oriented on double sides trajectory planning method based on the traditional method derived from single beam laser welding. Then a calibration strategy of structural parameters is rendered and G codes are produced by a postprocessor. At last the researchers develops the off-line programming system on CAM platforms and a simulation conducted proves the system satisfying the need.
