With the advancement of Industry 4.0, intelligent manufacturing has become a driving force behind the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Particularly in the pipeline manufacturing sector, improving production efficiency and quality while reducing labor costs has become a top priority for companies. Saddle-shaped pipe components, due to their complex structures, present challenges in traditional welding methods, such as high operational difficulty and inconsistent welding quality. ATINY laser seam scanning technology offers an innovative solution for the pipeline industry. Let’s explore the application of ATINY laser scanning technology in the intelligent welding of saddle-shaped components.
Principle of Laser Seam Scanning Technology
Laser scanning technology employs sensors and high-precision cameras to scan the surface of components using laser beams, capturing real-time 3D information. Combined with computer vision and artificial intelligence algorithms, the system automatically identifies the geometry and positional deviations of the components. Based on this data, precise welding paths are generated, significantly improving accuracy and eliminating errors and deviations in robotic welding, thereby ensuring high-quality welds.
Challenges in Automatic Welding of Saddle-Shaped Components
Saddle-shaped components refer to special pipe joint structures resembling a saddle, which are highly challenging to weld. Their complex shapes often lead to issues such as positioning errors, uneven weld seams, and welding porosity. Traditional welding methods struggle to address these problems effectively, especially in scenarios requiring high efficiency and mass production. Manual welding is time-consuming, while robotic welding without guidance often results in deviations and quality inconsistencies, making it difficult to achieve stable welding outcomes.
ATINY’s Solution
Leveraging advanced laser scanning technology, ATINY has developed a comprehensive intelligent welding solution for saddle-shaped components. The core advantages of this solution lie in its high-precision 3D scanning capabilities and intelligent welding path planning. Key features of the solution include:
