ABSTRACT:
A hybrid welding apparatus for subjecting a base metal to gas-shielded arc welding and laser welding comprises a laser generator for emitting a laser beam and a condenser optical system for condensing the laser beam to laser weld the base metal. The condenser optical system includes a plurality of lenses, each having a hole portion in the center thereof. A tubular supply holder for supplying a welding wire is passed through these respective hole portions of the lenses and located substantially coaxially with the axis of the condenser optical system. The laser beam and welding wire to be applied to the base metal are arranged coaxially, so that laser-welding and arc-shielded welding can be simultaneously performed with a wide angle between the welding head and a bevel of the base metal, thereby deepening penetration of the weld at an increased welding speed.
