What Can Robot Welding And Visual Recognition Do?

1. Accurately locate welding points

In traditional welding, the position of the workpiece and the welding point usually rely on fixed fixtures for positioning, which requires a lot of time and resources to ensure the accuracy of welding. However, with the introduction of visual recognition technology, welding robots can identify the shape and position of workpieces in real time through cameras and sensors. The visual system can accurately locate the welding point through image processing and deep learning technology, which not only reduces the dependence on fixtures, but also improves the flexibility and efficiency of welding.

This application is particularly suitable for workpieces with complex and irregular shapes. The visual recognition system can automatically adjust the welding trajectory to ensure uniform and consistent weld quality, and ensure welding accuracy even when the workpiece position is slightly deviated. This is especially important in industries such as automobiles and aerospace that have extremely high requirements for welding quality.

2. Defect detection and quality control

Defects that occur during the welding process, such as pores, cracks, and lack of fusion, will affect the quality and service life of the product. Traditional welding quality inspection often relies on post-welding inspection and cannot detect and correct problems in time during the production process. Through visual recognition technology, welding robots can monitor welding quality in real time during the welding process and identify potential defects in the weld.

The visual system can analyze the color, shape, brightness and other characteristics of the weld to detect abnormalities in time and feedback to the control system, thereby realizing automated quality control. Once a problem is identified, the welding robot can automatically adjust the welding parameters or repair the defect according to the preset correction program. This function greatly improves the automation of welding and reduces the time and cost of manual inspection.

3. Automating complex welding tasks

In some complex welding tasks, such as multi-axis welding, large-scale workpiece welding or multi-layer welding, traditional robots may find it difficult to cope because these tasks require extremely precise welding paths and complex welding processes. Through visual recognition, welding robots can obtain three-dimensional data of workpieces, accurately judge the shape, width, depth and other information of welds, and thus plan the optimal welding path.

For example, in shipbuilding or bridge construction, the welding of large steel structures often requires multi-layer welding. The visual system can help the robot automatically adjust the angle, moving speed and welding current of the welding gun to ensure that each layer of welds meets technical standards. At the same time, visual recognition can also help welding robots complete operations in limited spaces, reduce the difficulty of operation and avoid human errors.

4. Improve the flexibility of the production line

Traditional welding robots are usually used in large-volume, fixed-workpiece production lines. Once the product or process changes, the adjustment of the production line will be very complicated and costly. The introduction of visual recognition technology enables welding robots to quickly adapt to different types of workpieces and welding tasks, thereby greatly improving the flexibility of the production line.

Through the visual system, the welding robot can adaptively identify and process the workpiece without frequently changing the fixture or manually adjusting the welding parameters. This not only reduces the downtime of the production line, but also enables companies to respond more flexibly to changes in market demand. The advantages of visual recognition are particularly obvious when producing small batches and multiple varieties of products. It allows welding robots to quickly switch between different tasks and improve the efficiency of the entire production process.

5. Intelligent welding path planning

The welding robot can obtain the shape, size and other data of the workpiece through visual recognition, and intelligently plan the welding path based on this information. The visual system automatically generates the best welding trajectory by analyzing the unevenness of the welding surface or the position of the welding point, and adjusts the welding parameters in real time.

This technology can effectively avoid welding quality problems caused by workpiece errors or positioning deviations. In the welding of complex workpieces, visual recognition technology can also predict thermal deformation during welding and adjust the welding path in advance to ensure the accuracy and quality of the final welding. This is of great significance for scenes with extremely high welding precision requirements, such as the manufacture of aircraft engines and precision instruments.

6. Reduce labor costs and risks

Traditional welding work requires skilled welders to complete complex operations, and these jobs are often accompanied by dangerous factors such as high temperature, strong light, and harmful gases. The introduction of the visual recognition system can not only reduce the reliance on manual labor, but also effectively reduce the safety risks in operation. The welding robot uses the visual system to replace the human eye to monitor and operate welding, ensuring that the task is completed safely and stably in a dangerous environment.

At the same time, due to the adaptive ability of the visual recognition system, the cost of worker training and operation guidance is also greatly reduced. The welding robot can automatically learn new workpiece features and welding requirements through image recognition and processing technology, without the need for frequent human intervention and adjustment, further reducing production costs.

Welding robots equipped with visual recognition technology can not only achieve more accurate positioning and automated quality control, but also cope with complex welding tasks and improve the flexibility and intelligence level of production lines. The application of this technology not only improves production efficiency and welding quality, but also reduces labor costs and safety risks. With the continuous advancement of visual recognition technology, the application areas of welding robots will be further expanded, driving the manufacturing industry towards a more intelligent and automated direction.

Through visual recognition, welding robots will be able to perform more complex and diverse tasks in the future, bringing more extensive application scenarios and value to industrial production.
