How to Program a Robotic Welder with Automatically Identify Weld Seam

Robot Integrated Drive and Control System

Technical Features:

1. Comes with a built-in robot drive system, revolutionizing the traditional teaching programming system.
2. The software automatically plans the robot's motion trajectory and adjusts the welding posture.
3. Software planning allows for intelligent obstacle avoidance by the robot.
4. Equipped with collision detection and monitoring.

Digital Twin System

Technical Features:

1. The scene model presents a 1:1 replication of the physical object-what you see is what you get.
2. Operation through the computer interface, with the physical object following movements.
3. Scene-generated trajectory, one-click command, and welding can begin.
   • Real-time communication, integration of virtual and physical, command execution.

No-Teaching, No-Programming

Technical Features:

• Automatic Programming · Smart and Convenient: Load the 3D workpiece model, instantly detect and retrieve welding seam data. Editing the seam becomes straightforward with a single click on the model, simplifying the process and enabling team members to begin work quickly.
• Process Commands · Rapid Deployment: Corner welds, intermittent welding, multi-layer and multi-pass commands can be selected with one click.
• Vision Guidance · Automatic Path Planning: Using line laser scanning, the robot quickly locates the start and end positions of the welding seam.

Built-in Welding Process Library

Technical Features:

• Blueprint Import - Parametric Modeling: Bring in 3D models of the component. Enables export and import of workpiece designs that include pre-configured weld patterns. Offers parametric design capabilities for recurring parts like gussets and I-beams.
• Weld Seam Editing: Pick weld boundaries to automatically create weld paths, extend past hole locations, and seamlessly join edge sections. Set welding methods based on the specific seam type (multi-layer, multi-pass, vertical upward corner weld).
• Simulation Check: Verify whether the running trajectory is reasonable, or if there is any interference. Ensure that the welding angle satisfies the welding process.

Visual Positioning and Tracking Module

• 3D Camera Initial Positioning:
  Captures a large area of 2m x 2m; multiple photos can be stitched together for point cloud data, no worries about larger workpieces.
  The photographing accuracy has an error margin of ±0.5mm, fully meeting welding precision requirements.

• Line Laser Guidance Module:
  Continuously gathers welding seam data and handles it in real time, examining the captured images to determine seam location, enabling adjustments to the welding path or serving as a welding guidance signal.

• "Eye-in-Hand"-Compound 3D Camera:
  Solves imaging challenges in complex working conditions through the "eye-in-hand" system:

  1. Large field of view, high precision, 3D.
  2. Accurately reflects the position and posture of the workpiece, with image capture to result output time being less than one second.
  3. Precise positioning prevents collisions during the welding process.
  4. Full graphical interface operation-no prior robot operation experience required, easily completing the entire workflow.
