Development of Carriage-type Welding Robot for Double Hull Assembly Line in Shipbuilding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a carriage-type welding robot which is to implement into double hull assembly line in shipbuilding. The developed robot consists of 5-axis carriage-type body, a controller, and a welding power supply and is capable of welding fully automatically such as a commercial industrial robot system without any interruption by an operator in a cell which consists of vertical weld-line and horizontal one. This is also characterized by not only automatic seam tracking ability and automatic feature-point detection function, but also an automatic generation function of job program. This system was already tested in a field and their performance had been proven successfully.
