TeachMode helps the welder program weld seam positions on the robot, making the programming process more efficient. The reversing wire movement prevents the wire from bending in the event of unwanted contact with the component. The set stick out always remains the same.
This function is included at no extra cost in all TPS/i configurations.
With TouchSense and SeamTracking, the teaching requirement is reduced enormously, so that even smaller batch sizes of heavy-duty steel constructions can be produced efficiently. The assistance systems also minimize reworking, as clamping tolerances or small deviations in the component position are compensated for intelligently. This leads to the potential for considerable savings in series production.
The result is a perfect weld seam without the need for rework.
TouchSense determines the precise component position before fillet welds and butt welds are welded. The start and end positions are detected by scanning the workpiece with a wire or gas nozzle. After transmitting the signals to the robot, TouchSense calculates the precise seam path.
SeamTracking intervenes during the welding process. The robot automatically corrects the course of the seam by changing parameters in response to oscillating movements. This ensures precise tracking of the seam path at all times, in this way avoiding welding errors due to clamping and component tolerances.
