Principle of the Laser Seam Tracking System
The ATINY laser seam tracking system uses laser sensors for real-time seam detection and path tracking. Through precise algorithms, it analyzes the position and shape changes of the weld seam during the welding process and sends feedback signals to the FANUC robot, enabling automatic adjustments to the welding torch. This system can accurately detect the position of the seam during welding, resolving issues like workpiece deformation and positional deviations, ensuring that the seam remains on the optimal welding path at all times, thus improving both welding quality and efficiency.
The core advantage of the laser seam tracking system lies in its high precision seam detection and adaptive capabilities. By scanning the seam in real time, the system automatically adjusts the position of the welding torch based on changes in the welding surface, making it especially suitable for welding complex structures and irregular surfaces. Additionally, the system has powerful data processing capabilities, allowing it to intelligently recognize and adjust to different materials and thicknesses in box welding during the process.
Challenges in Box Welding Automation
Box-type products usually involve multiple complex weld seams, requiring high welding precision, and often facing issues such as deformation and errors during the welding process. Traditional fixed-path automated welding cannot ensure the continuity and consistency of the weld seam, leading to low welding efficiency and high rework rates. Especially with the increasing demand for mass production of box products, traditional welding methods can no longer meet the needs of these repetitive tasks.
Specifically, box welding faces the following major challenges:
Welding Deformation: Box-type products are prone to deformation due to uneven heat input during the welding process, which complicates subsequent assembly.
Workpiece Consistency Issues: Box welding demands consistency in the workpieces, but in mass production, seam location deviations are inevitable, requiring real-time adjustments.
Low Efficiency: Fixed-path automated welding cannot meet the demands of mass production, leading to low production efficiency and unstable welding quality.
ATINY Solution
To address these challenges in automated box welding, ATINY's laser seam tracking system, in collaboration with FANUC robots, provides a complete automated welding solution:
High-Precision Seam Tracking: The laser sensors can detect the exact position of the seam in real time, ensuring the welding torch is always aligned with the seam, even in complex box structures with varying seam positions, enabling high-precision welding.
Adaptive Welding: The seam tracking system can adjust the welding path in real time to account for workpiece deformation and errors during the welding process, ensuring precise alignment of the seam and workpiece, reducing rework rates and improving welding quality.
Application Case
