Principles of the Laser Seam Tracking System
The laser seam tracking system operates by using laser scanning technology, where sensors capture real-time weld seam data and feed it back to the control system to achieve precise control of the welding path. The system can automatically detect the position and shape of the weld seam, making intelligent adjustments for minor deviations to ensure a high level of consistency between the welding path and the weld seam location.
ATINY’s laser seam tracking system integrates advanced smart algorithms, high-precision image recognition, and laser sensing technology to dynamically monitor the shape, position, and depth of the weld seam throughout the welding process. This real-time closed-loop control system significantly reduces rework and maintenance costs due to welding deviations, thus enhancing both production efficiency and welding quality.
Challenges of Automated Boom Welding
As an essential part of construction machinery, booms must endure considerable load and stress, making welding quality critical. However, automated boom welding has traditionally faced several challenges:
- Complex structure: Boom structures vary in design, often featuring irregular welding paths with numerous weld points unevenly distributed.
- Long weld seams: Traditional automated blind welding struggles to maintain consistent and stable quality, especially during long-distance welding, where seam deviations can lead to welding failures.
- High precision requirements: Given the high load-bearing requirements of booms, welding precision is critical, as defects can impact the boom’s service life and safety.
The ATINY laser seam tracking system provides a digital, intelligent welding control solution for boom welding.
- Accurate seam tracking: The system can automatically recognize and track the welding path, ensuring precise alignment with the weld seam and preventing deviations.
- Assistance in welding parameter adjustment: During the welding process, the tracking system transmits seam status to the control center, which adjusts welding current, speed, and temperature based on preset algorithms to ensure consistent quality.
- Reduction of manual intervention: With automatic tracking and intelligent calibration, the system significantly reduces manual intervention, lowering operation difficulty and labor costs.
- Increased welding efficiency: The intelligent tracking system adjusts the welding path automatically, reducing both time and costs, thereby improving production efficiency.
Application Case
In the welding production line for booms at a construction machinery manufacturing company, ATINY's laser seam tracking system has been successfully applied. During production, the system effectively resolved seam deviation issues, significantly shortened welding time, and improved the overall efficiency of the production line, achieving an upgrade in automation and intelligence.
As the construction machinery industry continues to raise standards for welding quality and production efficiency, the application of laser seam tracking systems is becoming more widespread. The ATINY laser seam tracking system, with its intelligent and precise welding control capabilities, provides an optimal solution for automated boom welding, helping companies enhance product quality and reduce costs. As technology advances, this system will further drive the automation and intelligence of the manufacturing industry.
