Robotic Welding Systems | Overview

Robotic welding systems are automated processes that utilize industrial robots to perform welding tasks, enhancing productivity, accuracy, and safety in various industries. These systems combine welding, robotics, sensor technology, control systems, and artificial intelligence to deliver high-quality welds.

Welding Equipment Options:

  • Integrated fastener feeding
  • Servo-driven weld gun slides.
  • X-Y weld gun slides
  • Multiple weld stations
  • Auto unload for assemblies
  • AC or DC transformers
  • Balanced operator load times

Robot Options:

  • Six-axis industrial robots with a three-axis lower arm and a three-axis wrist
  • Robot arms or robot portals

Software and Control Systems

  • Specific programming for welding procedure specifications
  • Sensor technology for adapting output based on welding procedure specifications
  • Electronic weld process controllers for ensuring consistent weld quality

Power Distribution:

  • Centralized work cell power distribution for robots, positioners, welding equipment, lighting, and peripherals

Accessories:

  • Quick-change tool modules for minimizing downtime
  • Linear axis systems for reducing motion errors
  • Teach pendants for input interface with robot controllers

Benefits:

  • High Repeatability: Robotic welding systems can perform uniform welds repeatedly with high precision, reducing the likelihood of errors compared to manual welding.
  • Efficiency: Robots can operate 24/7 without the need for breaks or downtime, significantly enhancing productivity.
  • Consistency: The use of digital twins in welding robots allows for real-time system monitoring and parameter estimation, leading to highly consistent weld quality.
  • Quality Control: When set to specific parameters (e.g., welding current of 230 A, voltage of 32 V, speed of 0.003 m/s), the maximum deformation of the welded plate is just 0.52 mm, demonstrating high precision.
  • Cost Savings:Despite higher initial investment costs, robotic welding systems offer long-term savings through increased productivity, reduced labor costs, and improved material utilization
  • Flexibility:DRobotic systems can be programmed for various welding processes, making them adaptable to different tasks and operations. increased productivity, reduced labor costs, and improved material utilization
  • Safety: Reduces the risk of workplace injuries associated with manual welding, such as burns and exposure to harmful gases.

Types of Robotic Welding Systems

  • Arc Welding:Utilizes an electric arc to create heat, reaching up to 6,500°F, to melt and join metals
  • Laser Welding: Employs a laser beam to create welds, offering high precision and speed, suitable for fine and detailed work.
  • MIG/MAG Welding: Uses a wire feeder system to deliver wire at a controlled rate, ensuring consistent results in robotic welding and laser brazing applications.
  • Custom Systems: Tailored solutions for specific industries and applications, incorporating advanced features like automatic welding programming, collision avoidance, and robotic vision.
