Application of ATINY Laser Seam Tracker in Automatic Scanning Welding of Mechanical Flanges

　　In modern manufacturing, welding is widely used in various fields such as machinery, aerospace, and shipbuilding. With the increasing prevalence of industrial automation, the demand for higher welding quality and efficiency is continuously rising. Traditional welding methods have limitations in handling complex workpiece shapes and meeting high precision requirements. Laser seam tracking technology has emerged as an effective tool to address these challenges. Today, let's explore the application of the ATINY laser seam tracker in the automatic scanning welding of mechanical flanges.


　　Principle of the Laser Seam Tracker

　　The laser seam tracker utilizes high-precision laser scanning technology to detect the weld seam position in real-time and adjust the welding path accordingly. The principle involves emitting a laser beam through a laser sensor during the welding process to scan the surface of the workpiece and capture seam information. This data is then converted into digital signals and processed through calculations and intelligent algorithms to generate precise weld seam path data. In an automated welding system, this data guides the welding equipment to adjust the welding path in real-time, ensuring that the welding head always moves along the correct seam position, thus preventing defects caused by deviating from the weld seam.

　　Challenges in Automatic Flange Welding


　　Traditional welding methods often rely on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, where workers need to continuously adjust the position and angle of the welding equipment to ensure that the weld follows the correct trajectory. This not only increases the complexity and labor intensity of the operation but also makes it difficult to achieve stable welding quality due to human errors. Moreover, the strict requirements for welding speed and temperature in flange welding make it challenging to achieve efficient and stable automation through conventional methods.

　　ATINY’s Solution

　　To address these challenges, ATINY has developed an automated welding solution based on laser seam tracking technology. This solution integrates a laser seam tracker into the welding system, enabling real-time detection and automatic adjustment of the flange weld seam, ensuring the precision of the welding path.

　　ATINY's laser seam tracker utilizes advanced laser scanning and image processing technology, allowing it to quickly and accurately capture subtle changes in the flange weld seam. Whether dealing with complex curved weld seams or those with significant angle variations, the system can adjust the movement trajectory of the welding equipment in real-time, avoiding weld seam deviation or uneven welding.

　　Application Case

　　A flange manufacturing company adopted the ATINY laser seam tracker, successfully overcoming the challenges in flange welding. The laser seam tracker detects and tracks the weld seam position in real-time, ensuring that the welding gun always moves along the weld seam trajectory, thereby improving welding precision and consistency. This allowed the company to achieve a high level of automation on its production line, significantly enhancing production efficiency and reducing costs.


　　The application of ATINY laser seam tracking technology in automatic flange welding effectively solves the challenges of weld seam positioning, greatly improving welding quality and efficiency. ATINY's solution, with its precision and reliability, has provided successful welding solutions for thousands of manufacturing companies. In the future, as automated welding technology continues to advance, laser seam trackers will play an increasingly important role in more fields, helping domestic manufacturing to become more intelligent.
