Seam tracking system helps the automatic process of corrugated panels welding
Corrugated plate is a wide-width cold-formed steel, which greatly increases the section moment of inertia compared to ordinary flat plates.
As a result, the load-bearing capacity of corrugated board has also been greatly increased,
and it is widely used in various fields of industrial production and daily life such as automobiles, aviation, and construction.
Corrugated boards include corrugated boards, sandwich boards, corrugated boards, perforated boards and periodic embossed boards.
The corrugated board has circular arc, rectangular, trapezoidal and sharp-angled waveforms,
and the corrugations are continuous, spaced and periodic.
In the process of corrugated board welding, because the corrugated board is relatively thin and its shape cannot be maintained well before welding,
the welding trajectory of each welding is different. This requires a method to detect the trajectory and guide automatic welding.
To realize this function, it is necessary to collect weld seam information,
and then the welding robot or special welding machine performs active actions according to the collected trajectory to realize welding along the weld seam trajectory,
and finally realize the automation of corrugated plate welding. This type of welding is called seam tracking.
In recent years, with the wide application of corrugated plates in freight cars, containers and other industries,
the demand for automated welding of corrugated plates is increasing.
However, there are still many difficulties in the automatic welding of corrugated plates.
For example, the deformation of the lower wave plate caused by welding deformation brings difficulties to real-time welding seam tracking.
The key to realize corrugated board welding automation is to realize real-time and accurate tracking of corrugated board welds,
and sensors with simple structure, high sensitivity, sensitive dynamic response, large sensing range and strong anti-interference ability
are important prerequisites for realizing corrugated board weld tracking.
In order to meet market demand, the ATINY R&D team takes technology as the guide and quality as the guarantee,
and actively develops products that can meet the needs of corrugated plate welding automation.
Take the container as an example. The container is designed with corrugated plate welding.
The welding work is labor-intensive, and automation is the main trend of welding development at present.
The container corrugated board is a wavy board with a thickness of 1 to 2 mm.The current and speed requirements are strict when welding.
During the welding process, the weld trajectory changes continuously along the trapezoidal section of the corrugated plate,
forming multiple continuous short welds. At the same time,
the distance between the welding gun and the side beam must be maintained so that the molten pool is kept
between the side beam and the corrugated plate during welding.
In addition, the production process of containers is dominated by arc welding.
Arc welding is prone to produce a large amount of smoke, dust, strong light and noise,
which can cause great harm to the human body.
How to seek to improve production methods and reduce the exposure of personnel in harsh environments
is an urgent demand, especially in today's increasing labor costs.
To realize the automatic welding of container corrugated plates, the first step is to solve the problem of welding seam identification,
and provide a basis for welding trajectory tracking control and welding specification tracking.
In view of the above situation, the welding seam tracking system independently developed and produced by ATINY,
with a non-contact vision sensor as the core, can be used with special welding machines or welding robots to solve the above problems.
The function of ATINY's welding seam tracking system is to accurately identify the position and shape information of the welding seam
and transmit it to the welding gun (robot or special plane) control system.
The control system adjusts the position of the welding gun according to the detection result to realize automatic welding seam tracking.
In the actual production process, the container corrugated board manufacturing enterprise that used the ATINY welding seam tracking system product,
feedback praised that this greatly improved the welding quality and production efficiency of its products!
We can see that
in the process of automatic welding of corrugated plates, automatic welding transformation and upgrading represented by containers
has become the top priority for many manufacturing enterprises to adjust their industries and enhance their competitiveness.
Containers after the installation of weld trackers Jigsaw automatic welding can be tracked in real time without manual adjustment.
Its visual image not only saves labor for enterprises, but also improves welding quality.
In addition, for the automatic welding of deep corrugated plates, the seam tracking technology can realize automatic scanning, accurate tracking,
and beautiful welding shapes for strong arcs and splashes.
In the future, ATINY will continue to uphold the concept of technological innovation, deepen the pain points of various industries and propose solutions,
while making its due contribution to China's intelligent manufacturing!
