With the continuous development of technology,intelligent welding technology has been widely applied in the manufacturing industry.Robot welding,as an integral part of this technology,provides efficient and precise solutions for production.However,in robot welding,direct blind welding often has some drawbacks.To overcome these issues,the combined application of the ATINY Laser Seam Tracker and Efort robots explores more possibilities for automated welding.
Robot Welding
Robot welding is the automated process of using industrial robots to perform welding tasks.By utilizing preset programs and process parameters,robots can achieve high-precision welding operations in constantly changing work environments,enhancing production efficiency and product quality.
Drawbacks of Blind Robot Welding
Traditional robot welding has some drawbacks.When robots perform welding tasks,variations in material precision,component alignment,and workpiece positioning can lead to difficulties in accurately tracking the weld seam's position.This results in unstable welding quality and potential welding defects,increasing the difficulty of subsequent process repairs and potentially raising product rejection rates,affecting overall production efficiency.
Principles of Laser Seam Tracking
The laser seam tracker is a high-precision welding seam positioning device based on laser technology.Its working principle involves scanning the shape of the weld seam through a laser sensor,continuously obtaining real-time position information of the weld seam,and transmitting the data to the control system.This enables the robot to adjust the welding trajectory in real-time,ensuring accurate seam tracking.
Advantages of Laser Seam Tracking Application
Laser seam tracking demonstrates significant advantages in robot welding.Firstly,it enhances welding accuracy and stability,effectively avoiding welding quality issues caused by blind welding.Secondly,the laser seam tracker can adapt to complex and variable welding environments,improving the robot's applicability in various conditions.Most importantly,by monitoring the weld seam's position in real-time,the laser seam tracke
