What are the components of a welding robot

As a hot working, the pre evolution technology of welding reflects the mechanical level of a country to some extent.
Industrial robots are important equipment in industrial manufacturing, among which welding robots are widely used. Welding robots are automation equipment that integrates knowledge from various disciplines such as computers, electronics, sensors, artificial intelligence, etc. Welding robots are composed of the body and peripheral equipment. Welding robots can improve welding quality and stability, and can work 24 hours a day, greatly improving enterprise production efficiency, Keep manual labor away from harsh working environments.
Using a robot for welding is not enough. It must also be equipped with peripheral equipment. A conventional arc welding robot system consists of the following parts:
1. Robot body: Generally a 6-axis articulated manipulator driven by a servo motor, consisting of a driver, transmission mechanism, robotic arm, joints, and internal sensors. Its task is to accurately ensure the required position, posture, and motion trajectory of the robotic arm end (fierce gun).
2. Control part: Electronic and electrical components and computer systems responsible for controlling the mechanical structure to complete welding operations between specified positions according to specified procedures and required trajectories.
3. Power source and transmission part: It is a component and device that can provide and transmit mechanical energy for the execution part, and the power source is mostly electric or hydraulic.
4. Process guarantee part: mainly includes robot welding power supply, wire feeding, air supply device, etc.
Welding robots produced around the world are mostly joint robots, mostly consisting of six axes. The 1, 2, and 3 axes can send end tools to different spatial positions, while the 4, 5, and 6 axes solve different requirements for tool posture.
As an intelligent and automated welding equipment, welding robots can replace many repetitive manual welding operations, improve welding quality, reduce production costs, and improve the manual working environment. Nowadays, welding robots, as a symbol of the development level of modern manufacturing technology, are gradually being accepted by major small and medium-sized enterprises, and more and more enterprises are choosing to use welding robots as a solution for automation upgrading and transformation.
