Technical Application Of Welding Robot

Welding robot application technology is the fusion of robotics, welding technology and system engineering technology. Whether welding robots can be applied in actual production and exert their advantages depends on the joint improvement of these technologies. System engineering technology is robot technology. And bonding technology. At present, welding technology is becoming the mainstream technology in industrial production at an amazing development speed, and welding quality and welding productivity are issues that no enterprise can ignore. Therefore, the wide application of welding robots is imperative. In the past, due to the lack of domestic professional and technical personnel and the lack of in-depth development and utilization of the application of robots, its utilization efficiency was far from well reflected. Today, this situation is changing rapidly. We learned about the technical application of industrial robots from welding robot suppliers.

1. Co-development of robots and welding equipment

Welding robot application technology is the fusion of robotics, welding technology and system engineering technology. Whether welding robots can be applied in actual production and exert their advantages depends on the joint improvement of these technologies. System engineering technology is robot technology. And bonding technology. Take Yaskawa Electric’s MOTOMAN robot as an example. The development of the past few generations of robots has focused on the development of welding equipment to complete a number of special welding functions, such as the gradual adjustment function of welding parameters, and the intermittent filling by weaving synchronous technology during TIG welding. Wire welding function, arc welding sensor (arc tracking) function and welding real-time monitoring function, etc. are all developed under the demand of welding process.

Similarly, welding equipment manufacturers have also made many improvements in the design of welding power sources in order to realize automated welding by robots. For example, the robot can detect the high voltage used in the weld position, and the welding power source is built-in; the communication interface with the robot On the one hand, many welding machine manufacturers now adopt convenient and fast communication interfaces.

2. Application of welding robots in improving production efficiency

Improve accuracy and ensure high-speed welding.　The application of robots in production means the pursuit of high efficiency and high welding quality. Therefore, various robot manufacturers are seeking breakthroughs in welding speed, and the high precision of robots in trajectory control is a reliable guarantee for high-speed welding.

The dual-machine coordinated welding function, 　sometimes we will encounter long workpieces, and the welding seams are distributed at both ends of the workpiece. If one robot is used for welding, the welding deformation will be inconsistent due to the different welding of the two ends, so that the workpiece is The torsion deformation in the length direction makes it difficult for the welded workpiece to meet the size requirements. For this type of workpiece, we often use two robots to coordinate welding at the same time, which promotes the two robots dual-machine coordinated welding technology. This technology is often used in the welding of automobile rear axles and mufflers.

In addition, there are many practical functions of welding robots, and they have been tested in practice, which have brought obvious effects to improving welding production efficiency and welding quality. At the same time, each robot manufacturer has its own characteristics in the development of various functions. It can be said that on this stage, a variety of advanced technologies are constantly emerging and colorful.
