Problem: Need for updated system with enhance reliability for welding of components.
Solution: Design of a turnkey robotic welding system with greatly enhance reliability for welding of ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) supports for crawler type tractors.
Two fully servo controlled Automated Concepts, Inc. manufactured 3,000 lb. tilt/rotate positioners allowing for coordinated motion of the robot six axis, along with the positioning axis.
Model ArcMate 120i six axes articulated robot with RJ-2 controller from Fanuc Robotics with 4 aux axis touch sensing, Torchmate, TAST, coordinated motion, multipass welds.
The robot then performs a touching sensing routine and begins the welding process.
Once all maunual welding is completed, the operator then unloads the finished part and prepares a new part.
After the robotic welding process is complete, the welding positioner returns to a "home position" by rotating 90 degrees out of the robot work envelope.
