What are the arc welding functions and technologies of modern robots?

Arc welding is one of the most important functions of industrial robots, and it is also an advantageous application of modern robots. What are the specific arc welding functions and technologies of modern robots? Today, I will introduce you to the most basic and most important points.

1. Inferface for arc welding machine

Support the interface of dedicated special welding machine

Dedicated support can be provided to support special settings of the welding machine

Developed Fronius CMT Pulse interface support function

Support dedicated interface models, such as: Hyosung PDC350, ESAB AristoMig, Fronius TPS series; Panasonic GB2/GZ4/GE2, EWM AlphaQ series, Lorch Samprom S3

2. Universal Inferface for arc welding machine

Welding machines other than welding machines that support dedicated interfaces

The user can communicate with the welding machine through the setting of the teach pendant

Currently supported models: Fronius CMT/TIG, Kemppi, Panasonic, OTC, Megmeet, Otai and other mainstream welders and other welders that support Analog

Development support models: Miller, Lorch, Lincoln, Migatronic, etc.

3. Easy to change welding conditions

In order to set the best welding conditions, a variety of welding conditions can be easily applied during the welding process, and the changed welding conditions can be saved in the desired condition file. It also has the function of welding in manual mode. When repeatedly performing welding and changing conditions, the user's operation can be minimized.

4. Easy to edit welding conditions

Press the QuickOpen button to easily set arc welding related conditions.

5. Monitor various welding data

Provide various monitoring information that can be selected according to the user's purpose, such as detailed information display, welding waveform and large screen display, etc.

6. HRMS arc welding robot monitoring

The state of the arc welding robot can be monitored in real time through HRMS. Manage the arc welding data of multiple robots through a single server, and support the specialized functions of arc welding data, such as welding current/voltage storage and retrieval, upper and lower limit management, waveform, model management and other data. At the same time, it can also be merged with the customer's MES production management system, which is more convenient for management and operation.

7. Various sensing functions

Using sensors and welding machine data to detect the welding starting point, welding line, and welding height, it can maintain a strong and stable welding operation under various environmental changes.

8. Arc tracking

Arc Sensing arc tracking function refers to the function of tracking the weld seam by detecting current changes during welding in arc welding equipment including Weaving. If there is an error from the starting point, arc tracking will take a certain amount of time until the correct welding line is reached. Therefore, it is usually recommended to use it in combination with a touch sensing function designed to detect the starting point.

Note: This function is not included in the standard components, and a License Key is required to run the function.

9. Multi-layer and multi-channel

In the arc welding operation of thick plates, it usually happens that the required welding leg length is too wide and cannot be solved by one-time welding or the welding volume is too large and requires multiple repeated welding, that is, multi-pass welding (MULTI PASS). ), at this time our multi-layer multi-channel can come in handy.

Generally, the characteristic of Arc Sensing is that in addition to the first layer of welding bead, Sensing is more likely to be unstable, so only the first layer is tracked by Arc Sensing, and after saving the tracking trajectory at this time, the saved trajectory is changed. Generate and weld more than two layers of weld beads to make the welding quality more stable and improve the welding quality.
