Welding Automation

Automation in welding uses mechanized devices to hold materials and perform welds. Common types of automated welding include arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, laser welding, and resistance spot welding. Welding automation can be semi-automatic, where a control mechanism assists with welding parameters, or fully-automatic using machines to position parts and monitor weld quality. Welding robots typically have sensors to detect their environment, actuators to modify it, and a control system to direct the actuators. Automated welding provides benefits like consistent quality, repeatability, lower costs, and increased returns on investment.

Automation in Welding

Rajesh Kumar R Class No:10

Concept
In Automation in Welding, mechanized devices hold the material and perform the weld.

Welding Automation-Driving Force

Types of Welding Automated:

Arc Welding
GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) Laser Welding Resistance Spot Welding

Gas Welding

Types of Welding Automated: Gas

metal arc welding, while often automated, are not necessarily equivalent to robot welding, since a human operator sometimes prepares the materials to be welded. welding is commonly used for Resistance Spot welding and Arc welding in high production applications, such as the automotive industry.

Robot

Welding automation Categories :


1.

Semi-automatic : In Semi-Automatic Gas Welding, a weld controller is involved in the welding process, to control the motion of the torch and the parts and to adjust the welding parameter. In Semi-Automatic Arc Welding a control mechanism in the wire feeder actuates electrode wire feed and starts the current and shielding gas flow when welder presses the gun trigger. Fully-Automatic : Fully-Automatic welding uses machines to index the part or torch into position and to monitor the quality of the welds.

Types of Industrial Robots


Gantry

- It's a robot whose arm has three prismatic joints, whose axes are coincident with a Cartesian coordinator.
- It's a robot whose axes form a cylindrical coordinate system. - It's a robot whose axes form a polar coordinate system.

Advantages :

Consistency of quality welds Repeatability Reduction of production costs Fewer scrapped parts Increase return on investment (ROI)

Advancements
Welding vision has become important part of robotic welding system. Seam Tracker is a laser seam tracking system designed for high performance applications such as spiral pipe manufacture and tailor welded blanks. Using data acquired from the sensor the control system will display joint geometry, the gap and mismatch as well as calculate the optimum lateral and vertical position of the weld torch.
