With the development of industrial automation, the production of fire extinguisher tanks has placed higher demands on welding quality and efficiency. As pressure vessels, the quality of the weld seams directly impacts the safety and lifespan of fire extinguisher tanks. To improve welding precision and reduce human error, laser seam tracking systems have become a crucial technology in automated welding. Today, we will explore the application of the ATINY laser seam tracking system in collaboration with specialized welding machines for the automated welding of fire extinguisher tanks.
Working Principle of the Laser Seam Tracking System
The laser seam tracking system uses laser sensors installed on welding equipment to detect the weld seam position in real time and gather information about the seam shape and deviation. The data collected by the sensor is processed through intelligent algorithms, which control the position of the welding torch, ensuring that the seam remains in the optimal welding state. This system can automatically correct deviations during the welding process, ensuring consistency and precision.
In the welding of fire extinguisher tanks, ATINY's laser seam tracking system can track the complex weld seams on the tank surface in real time, addressing issues caused by inaccurate seam positioning in traditional welding methods. Through automated control, the system significantly increases production efficiency and enhances weld seam quality.
Challenges in Automatic Welding of Fire Extinguisher Tanks
In the automatic welding of fire extinguisher tanks, several challenges arise:
Complexity of the Weld Seam: Fire extinguisher tanks are typically cylindrical workpieces with circular weld seams, and the tank surface may have some deformation, making seam positioning difficult.
High Precision Requirements: As pressure vessels, fire extinguisher tanks demand strict requirements for weld strength and sealing. Even minor welding defects can result in product rejection.
Low Production Efficiency: Traditional automatic welding methods often result in weld seam deviations, requiring significant human monitoring and adjustment, which reduces automation levels and impacts production efficiency and consistency.
ATINY’s Solution
To address the above issues in fire extinguisher tank welding, ATINY has developed an automated welding solution based on its laser seam tracking system:
High-Precision Welding: The laser seam tracking system monitors the weld seam position in real time and automatically adjusts the welding torch's path to ensure the seam remains in the optimal welding state, greatly improving precision.
Intelligent Correction: The system features intelligent algorithms that handle weld seam deviations and minor deformations in the tank surface, tracking the weld seam in real time and automatically correcting for consistency.
Increased Production Efficiency: The combination of automated welding machines and the laser seam tracking system reduces manual intervention, speeds up welding, and meets the production demands of large batches of fire extinguisher tanks.
Stable Welding Quality: The system maintains stable weld seam quality during long-term, high-intensity welding, effectively reducing defect rates and rework.
Easy Integration: The system offers communication interfaces, making it easy for manufacturers to integrate it into existing production lines, reducing retrofit costs.
