1. Robot Preparation
Power-on Self-Test: Start the robot control system and run a self-test program to ensure that the system operates normally without any fault indications.
Load Welding Program: According to the shape, material, and welding requirements of the workpiece, select and load the appropriate welding program into the robot's control system.
Calibrate Robot Coordinate System: Use a teaching pendant or an automatic calibration tool to calibrate the robot’s coordinate system to ensure accurate recognition of the workpiece position.
2. Workpiece Clamping and Positioning
Workpiece Clamping: Secure the workpiece to be welded on the welding worktable to ensure stability and accurate positioning.
Workpiece Positioning: Use a vision system or laser sensor to precisely locate the workpiece, providing accurate coordinate information for subsequent welding operations.
3. Teach Programming
Teaching Mode: Switch the robot to teaching mode and manually operate the robot through the teaching pendant to teach the welding trajectory.
Record Trajectory: During the teaching process, the robot will record real-time information about the welding trajectory, including coordinates, speed, and acceleration.
Generate Welding Program: After teaching is complete, the robot generates the corresponding welding program based on the recorded trajectory information.
4. Automatic Welding
Start Automatic Welding: Switch the robot to automatic welding mode and start the generated welding program.
Real-Time Monitoring: Monitor the welding status in real-time during the automatic welding process via the teaching pendant or monitoring software to ensure welding quality.
Adjust Parameters: Adjust welding parameters such as current, voltage, and speed in real time based on the welding status to achieve optimal welding results.
5. Finishing Work
Power Off the Robot.
Clean the Welding Area.
Inspect the Welding Quality of the Workpiece and perform repairs if necessary.
6. Precautions
Adhere strictly to safety procedures and wear necessary protective gear.
Do not perform maintenance or inspection while the robot is in operation.
Immediately stop operations and troubleshoot upon detecting any abnormalities.
The operation process of a six-axis welding robot is relatively complex and requires professional training before operation. As technology continues to advance, six-axis welding robots will be increasingly used, providing more efficient solutions for the automation of manufacturing production.
