Due to their high efficiency, high quality, and ease of management, welding robots are highly favored by most small and medium-sized enterprises. However, when it comes to welding workpieces that require high precision, welding robots alone may fall short. The weld seam tracking system was born out of this need, enhancing the original robots with an automatic weld seam tracking system, enabling high-precision welding of workpieces.
Why add a weld seam tracking system to welding robots?
Welding robots often encounter various technical situations during the welding process, such as workpiece clamping deviations and thermal deformation of sheet metal parts.
Users' actual needs: Many users weld a variety of workpieces with less batch production, which demands high welding precision and skilled welding technicians. For different workpieces, welding robots also need to be reprogrammed or re-taught, which extends the welding cycle.
High cost of improving workpiece feeding: Updating the existing processing equipment and designing and purchasing high-precision fixtures.
Welding robots often require manual touch-up welding after the initial welding. For small and medium-sized enterprises already struggling to survive, this not only incurs high labor costs but also results in a high product rework rate.
Therefore, based on actual production needs, improving the welding efficiency of welding robots, reducing operation time and difficulty, and enhancing the quality of robotic welding all require the timely addition of a weld seam tracking system.
