Welding
July 18th, 2009 | by Ramaswami |Welding robot comprising an electrode grinder secured on a moving assembly of said welding robot
A welding robot (1) comprising a stand (2) pivotally receiving a trunk-forming portion (3) having one end (5) of an articulated arm (6) pivotally mounted thereon, the arm having an opposite end (7) provided with a clamp (8) fitted with welding electrodes, the robot including an electrode grinder (9) mounted on a portion (3) of the robot that is situated in a zone that is accessible to the clamp.
Disconnection box for a robot system
A switch-off box for a robot system has a two-part housing and a coupling device resiliently mounted in the housing and connected to a torch body and a hose pack or to a torch handle connected with the hose pack, and having a supporting surface for punctual contact on the housing. There are contacting or switching elements connected to the coupling device. Two oppositely located openings are provided in the housing for connection of the coupling device to the torch body and for connection of the coupling device to the hose pack or the torch handle. The supporting surface is connected with the contacting or switching elements so that a respective contacting or switching element will be activated or deactivated by lifting of the supporting surface from the housing, and a signal will be transmitted from the contacting or switching element to an interfaced control device, or the robot system.
Positioning jig device for vehicle body frame
In a welding station, one end of a positioning jig is held by a positioning robot, and the other end of the positioning jig is held by a positioning jig holder mechanism. The positioning robot is moved for positioning and fixing a vehicle body frame, which is fixed to the positioning jig, in any attitude, and a desired welding operation is performed on the vehicle body frame.
Method and installation for clinching pieces of sheet metal
A method for clinching pieces of metal plate, comprising the steps of: positioning two pieces of sheet metal (6a, 6b) in a clinching station (3), the two pieces of sheet metal (6a, 6b) being provided with at least one area of their edge whereon is applied a hot-curing resin, performing a clinching operation along the edge (16, 17) of said pieces (6a, 6b); and polymerising the resin by means of induction heating, in the same clinching station (3) by means of a heating device (19) which performs a localised heating of the clinched edges (16, 17).
Arc welding robot
A robot main body is provided with a protection cover. The robot main body can be swung by a rotary pipe shaft holding a wire feed device and including a hollow portion and is structured such that a connecting cable and/or a gas hose are guided through the hollow portion of the rotary pipe shaft and are then guided through the forearm portion and base portion thereof. The protection cover covers the portions of the connecting cable and/or gas hose ranging from the connecting portion of the wire feed device and connecting cable and/or gas hose to the rotary pipe shaft.
