Types and characteristics of welding robots

2025-05-21

Welding robots are mainly divided into various types based on their functions, application scenarios, and operating methods, each with its unique characteristics. Arc welding robots are a common type in industrial welding, mainly used for connecting metal parts. According to different types of arcs, arc welding robots can be divided into gas shielded welding robots, manual arc welding robots, and tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) robots. Gas shielded welding robots use inert gas as a protective gas to avoid contact between the welding area and air, prevent oxidation, and are suitable for large-scale production in the automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, and other fields. The manual arc welding robot is flexible in operation and suitable for welding various metals and thicknesses. It is commonly used for small-scale production or maintenance work. TIG welding robots use non consumable tungsten electrodes for welding, suitable for high-precision welding requirements such as aerospace industry, nuclear industry, etc. Spot welding robots are mainly used to weld two or more metal plates together at multiple points through heating and pressure, forming a strong connection, and are important equipment in the automotive manufacturing industry. Spot welding robots can be divided into fixed spot ...

Control methods and precautions for welding robots

2025-05-21

The control methods of welding robots mainly rely on good sensing technology, vision systems, adaptive control algorithms, and intelligent control systems. Through sensing technology, robots can monitor the position, shape, and size of welds in real time, and adjust the wire feeding speed to adapt to changes in the welding path. Meanwhile, an excellent visual system can capture weld seam images, extract welding path information, and ensure that the welding wire is welded in the correct position. The adaptive control algorithm automatically adjusts welding parameters such as current, voltage, and welding speed according to the different requirements of the welding task to maintain the consistency of the weld seam. Intelligent control systems can learn and adapt to different welding tasks, continuously optimize control strategies, and improve welding accuracy and efficiency. When using welding robots, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Safety equipment: Operators must wear work clothes, gloves, protective goggles and other safety equipment to prevent potential injuries such as splashes and high temperatures. 2. Equipment inspection: Before starting, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the robot body, control system, welding tools, etc., to ensure that there is no damage or loosen...

The composition structure and working principle of welding robots

2025-05-21

Welding robots are essential equipment in modern industrial production, and their efficient welding capabilities and stable welding quality greatly improve production efficiency. This article will briefly introduce the composition structure and working principle of welding robots. Welding robots are mainly composed of robotic arms, control systems, welding power sources, sensors, and other auxiliary equipment. The robotic arm is the core component of a welding robot, consisting of multiple degrees of freedom joints that can flexibly move to the desired position. The end is equipped with a welding gun to achieve accurate welding operations. The control system is equivalent to the "brain" of the welding robot, responsible for receiving external instructions, controlling the motion path of the robotic arm, welding parameters, and welding process. The welding power supply provides energy for the welding process, and its output current and voltage directly affect the welding quality. Sensors are responsible for monitoring various parameters during the welding process, such as current, voltage, temperature, etc., and providing feedback to the control system. Auxiliary equipment includes wire feeding device, cooling system, protective gas system, etc., to ensure the smooth progress of the we...
