In recent years, with the vigorous development of modern manufacturing, the application of welding technology has become increasingly widespread. Traditional welding work is manually completed. Although it is easy to operate and flexible, it relies heavily on experience, with low repetition accuracy and low work efficiency. Moreover, with the increasing cost of labor, the mainstream development of welding has moved towards automation.
Welding robots use laser seam tracking sensors to generate the optimal weld seam in the fully automated process. During the welding process, the robot will use precise measurements provided by powerful laser seam tracking sensors. Sensors can pre calculate the welding process before execution. Therefore, welding robots use precise measurements provided by powerful laser seam tracking sensors to obtain the optimal quality of the weld seam.
The laser weld seam tracking sensor adopts non-contact laser line contour analysis technology, with a compact structure and suitable for welding work areas. The visible laser of the sensor makes it easy and accurate to assist the robot in initial system setup. The sensor head can be easily integrated with the robot controller via Ethernet to achieve maximum flexibility, providing visual guidance for the robot. This simplifies the issue of part fixation or dimensional tolerances, and improves the position of welds, thereby improving welding quality.
In recent years, the market demand has been very strong, but due to factors such as high technical difficulty, complex application, and high initial investment costs, the existing market retention is not large and is in a rapid growth stage.
In the field of specialized aircraft, weld seam trackers can meet various environmental requirements, such as welding the inner liner of water heaters, welding the air compressor storage cylinder, steel cylinder circumferential seams, straight seams, etc.
