Arc Welding Robotic Applications

industrial robot

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) frequently referred to as MIG welding is a commonly used high deposition rate welding process. Wire is continuously fed from a spool; the shielding gas forms the arc plasma, stabilizes the arc on the metal being welded, shields the arc and molten weld pool, and allows smooth transfer of metal (Spray, Globular or Short circuiting transfer) from the weld wire pool.

Pulsed MIG Welding Provides Increased Savings and Quality

A pulsed MIG is a non-contact transfer method between the electrode and the weld puddle; useful, for example for aluminum and high-alloy steel welding. Bellow is a schematic of gas metal arc welding process showing typical values of parameters:

With Artificial Intelligence's constant voltage welding power supply we can get the best welding performance such as Fuzzy Constant Bead Width Adjustment, Fuzzy Constant Penetration, Artificially Intelligent Wave Form Control and Spatter Reduction.

The Common MIG Welding Concerns are: Weld discontinuities, undercutting, excessive melt-through, incomplete fusion, incomplete joint penetration, porosity, weld metal cracks, heavily oxidized weld deposit, irregular wire feed, burnback, unstable arc, difficult arc starting, etc.

RoboKinetic provides a solution for all this problems. Robot programming is complex and time consuming, making it too costly for complex one-off and small batch fabrication.

By using off line programming and simulation RoboKinetic increased flexibility. The correct combination of on-line and off-line programming (hybrid programming) therefore leads to cost reductions in production adjustments.
