With the continuous improvement of GP5 arc performance, more and more workpieces can be welded using GP5. The spiral oscillation welding method also benefits from this, proving very convenient to apply and producing excellent welding results. Currently, this method is mainly applicable to radiators, compressors, and new energy vehicle cover plates, suitable for medium-thickness plates of 3-6mm. Welding setup is easy; in addition to basic current, voltage, and speed, adjustments to the oscillation frequency and amplitude are required based on the actual workpiece.

Related Applications
heat sink
The welding effect of the radiator is that the long straight weld seam is completely welded by spiral oscillation. At corner positions and obstacle positions, the spiral oscillation can be turned off and DC pulses are used to turn the spiral oscillation back on after avoiding the obstacle, which greatly improves the adaptability of the construction method.
New energy vehicle cover
Besides its use in the radiator industry, it is also widely used in the covers of new energy vehicles.
Current: 90A gradually increases to 80A, standard voltage
Speed 0.5 m/min
The two sides are well fused together with a large depth of fusion.
gas tank
In the gas storage industry, the process is completed through the coordinated operation of positioners and robots, resulting in a wide spiral swing amplitude, good fusion on both sides, and smooth welds.
