Automated Weld Robot Check System
One of the major contributors to the quality of a spot weld is clamping force. This clamping force is typically audited by a technician, making periodic measurements of the weld force using a hand held instrument. Since the robot’s motions and cycles are programmable, it is possible to program a “check cycle” into the welder’s program at regular intervals during a typical day, weld robots are programmed to move the weld tips into a tip dresser that grinds the tips into the optimum shape. Once this process is complete, the weld robot then is instructed to move to the Weld Robot Check... To view the complete article in PDF format, Click HERE.
