Big Trends in Welding Automation In order to improve production efficiency, many factories have improved and optimized their welding equipment; Some purchased welding robots; some upgraded their own automated welding equipment. However, in the actual production process, there is still the problem of welding deviation, and the company has to arrange workers to supervise the welding station to avoid the problem of welding deviation. There are also some customers who use welding robots and need to recruit a robot engineer to perform TCP calibration repeatedly. We can draw a conclusion: Although the company has upgraded the welding equipment, it still needs manual labor to solve the problem of partial welding. Is there any way to avoid labor? The answer is: YES; what we said above requires manual work, but what is more important is that human eyes are needed to identify and judge the position of the weld, so as to perform accurate welding; and the current laser weld tracker is for welding equipment. and welding robots equipped with eyes. And compared with the human eye, the laser seam tracker also has the following advantages: 1.24 hours of continuous work; 2. Not afraid of arc light; 3. Not afraid of smoke and splashes; 4. The data processed by the algorithm makes it more accurate; This is also the reason why the hot welding production fields such as containers, automobiles, and steel cylinders are all adding "eyes of welding" to their welding equipment; Weld seam deviation prediction is the key to welding seam tracking control, which is of great significance for realizing welding automation and ensuring welding quality. It upgrades automatic welding equipment to intelligent welding equipment.

4.2.1 Can my welding equipment use seam tracking? Background Fewer welding workers and high labor costs are welding problems encountered by many companies; Therefore, more and more enterprises have introduced welding equipment and welding robots; However, in the actual use process, it was found that there is no way for automated welding equipment to ensure 100% welding quality; Why is this? I believe that the boss who has thought about this question already has the answer, because although the welding equipment does not require welding; But the device itself does not have human-like eyes to watch the welds all the time, The motion trajectory programmed for the equipment will not have any effect when the workpiece is offset. Therefore, the existence of the welding seam tracking sensor is to solve the deviation generated in the welding process, make the automation equipment become intelligent, and then improve the welding quality and efficiency. What kind of equipment can be retrofitted with seam tracking? ATINY focuses on machine vision technology and has accumulated 10 years of experience in the field of welding automation.

Background Pressure vessels have many uses and are widely used in petrochemical industry, energy industry, scientific research and military industry. In the production process, it usually has the following characteristics: 1. Large amount of welding, mostly thick plates; 2. There are many welding processes and the process is complicated; 3. High welding quality requirements; 4. Low degree of welding automation; 5. There are various types of welds; 6. Large workpiece, manual welding, low efficienc   Difficulties Problem 1: Weld deviation caused by equipment running jitter The automatic welding equipment in most factories is mainly divided into two types: the automatic welding control system made of PLC, or the welding robot to operate. However, no matter what kind of equipment is used for welding, jitter and deviation will occur during the operation process. At this time, manual monitoring is required to avoid the production of unqualified products due to jitter. Problem 2: It is difficult to recruit workers and the cost is high With the rapid development of economic globalization, welding factories generally face the problem of difficulty in recruiting workers; from another perspective, the environment of welding factories is also very unfavorable for people's health, which brings another level of risk to the operation of enterprises.   Read More How seam tracker solve it?

  Weld seam tracking technology adds "wisdom" to crane manufacturing According to the statistics of the Construction Machinery Industry Association, the total sales volume of construction cranes in 2021 will exceed 79,000 units, an increase of about 20.0% over the same period.With the increase of the production scale of the enterprise and the further enhancement of the degree of automation and intelligence, the role of the crane in the production of the enterprise will be more obvious. At the same time, cranes continue to evolve in performance to meet the ever-increasing demands of lifting operations. Crane is a kind of large-scale hoisting equipment. Its application scope in construction and industrial production continues to expand, and its role is becoming more and more important, and the requirements for the crane itself will also be higher.   Read More Quality is the core element of production. Since the crane is assembled by welding multiple parts, the welding quality is particularly important. During the welding process, the welding quality will be affected by various factors such as welding materials, welding environment, and welding technology. Therefore, in order to do a good job in quality control, the welding work must be done well. ATINY seam tracking system includes special hard machine seam tracking system and robot seam tracking system, which can detect the weld seam of the workpiece and accurately identify the position of the weld seam.

Industrial automation refers to machinery and equipment or production process, management process, without the direct participation of people, through automatic detection, information processing, analysis and judgment, manipulation and control, to achieve the expected goal, purpose or complete a certain process. In short, automation refers to the automatic operation or operation of a machine or device according to a prescribed program or instruction without human intervention. In a broad sense, automation also includes simulating or reproducing human intelligent activities. The characteristics of industrial automation using machine vision systems are: Accuracy Due to the physical limitations of the human eye, machines have obvious advantages in accuracy. Even if the human eye relies on a magnifying glass or microscope to inspect the product, the machine will still be more precise, and its accuracy can reach 0.001mm. Repeatability The machine can complete inspection jobs in the same way again and again without getting tired. In contrast, the human eye detects a product slightly differently each time, even if the product is identical. Speed Machines can inspect products faster. Especially when inspecting objects that are moving at high speed, such as on a production line, machines can improve production efficiency. Objectivity Human eye detection also has a fatal flaw, which is the subjectivity brought about by emotions. The detection results will change with the mood of the workers, and the machine has no emotions, so the detection results are naturally very impressive and reliable. Cost Since machines are faster than humans, an automatic detection machine can take on the tasks of several humans. And the machine does not need to stop, does not get sick, and can work continuously, so it can greatly improve production efficiency.   ATINY Laser Sensor, focusing on the research and development, production and sales of machine vision technology products, provides laser welding seam sensors for industrial robots, endows them with sensing functions, and is used for welding seam detection and positioning to promote industrial automation and intelligent
