HTW Robotic Welding Cell

ROBOTIC WELDING CELL FOR FULLY AUTOMATED WELDING

Welding processes: MIG/MAG, CMT, TIG, ArcTig, Plasma

Modular, collaborative, and flexible: the “Handling-to-Welding” robotic welding cell joins parts of different geometries and materials. The task is carried out by two robots – the handling robot positions the workpieces, the second robot performs the welding. Depending on the cell configuration, lock gates are available for the inward and outward transport of parts. Furthermore, various positioners, a TCP measurement system, a torch cleaning system, a gripper station, and a contact tip change system are also possible.

Creating and simulating welding jobs offline

Fronius Pathfinder enhances convenience and cost-effectiveness: The software enables the creation and parameterization of welding programs away from the system – even while the robotic welding cell is welding part after part.

Pathfinder recognizes axis limits, calculates starting points, end points, approach paths, and independently sets teach points. Interfering contours are visualized and welding torch positions are corrected promptly.

Pathfinder Functions

Corner welding function – automatic adjustment of speed and welding path
Variable adjustment of the welding torch inclination
Weld seam search with wire or gas nozzle
Definition of process parameters and weld properties

Selection of robot configuration
Definition of tool changes

WPS welding database and more

The platform

Handling and welding robots

Perform the job together. The handling robot is also responsible for part positioning and removal.

HMI T21-RS system control

User-friendly touchscreen
Coordinates the system components, from the robot to the gripper deposit system
Highlights: 3D real-time display and program editor for the definition of all program sequences
Q-Maser Editor: live view of welding parameters, monitoring of limit values
User administration with individual authorization assignment and language selection

Robot control system

Controls the movements of handling and welding robotsand ensures fully synchronized, coordinated welding processes.Programming is simple and intuitive. The operator hasfull access to welding parameters and corrections.
