DESCRIPTION:


This has been set up as an integrated welding cell system in which all-incoming parts to be welded are indexed to steel pallets at a central loading station. A Siemans transfer car runs longitudinally along 5 palleted pickup stations, traverses off the main line into the correct station, picks up desired parts to be welded, and goes back on main line transferring parts to MTA 1600 orbiter manipulator. All transfer car operations are automated through Siemans programmable logic controls. Pallets pneumatically lock into place at the 1600A orbiter, and the IRB2000 robot commences its weld program. Parts are tracked by either touch sensing or laser tracking. Touch sensing can use program coordinates or a seam tracking option installed for some applicable parts. Laser tracking is used for thinner material parts. When part welding is complete, the part is returned by the reverse for the above order to 1 of the 5 stations, or to the central station no. 3, to be manually removed by cell operators and overhead crane or forklift. This is a highly coordinated, integrated system, with capability for large working envelopes and High poundage parts. It can be applied to many different products and alloy types. The entire system is OSHA & ANSI compliant for safety considerations with interlocks on entrance gates, and light beams and safety mats at the central load station.
