Elevator beam raising robot workstation

Taking beam welding as an example, after receiving the “start welding” command at station 1, two robots simultaneously begin welding operations. The positioner at station 1 changes its motion trajectory according to the command, perfectly coordinating with the welding actions of the two robots. At the same time, manual loading and unloading operations are performed at station 2. After welding at station 1 is completed, the two robots immediately turn to station 2 and begin welding the workpiece at station 2; this process continues in a loop.

Introduction to Robot Workstation

A robot workstation mainly consists of a robot and its control system, auxiliary equipment, and other peripheral equipment.
Equipped with a pulse MIG/MAG welding machine, the welding quality requirements are guaranteed.
The coordinated servo positioner and welding torch posture result in good consistency of finished products.
No manual movement is required when changing welded parts.
The welding room is protected and equipped with automatic smoke curtains and a smoke exhaust system.
In this configuration, standard devices should be used as much as possible for the robot and its control system, while special robots need to be designed for specific occasions.
However, auxiliary equipment such as end effectors and other peripheral equipment vary greatly depending on the application and the characteristics of the workpiece.

Advantages of robot workstations

1. Significantly reduced labor intensity; ordinary female workers can now…
The workpiece is placed on the workbench, and a six-axis robot grabs the welding gun and moves it for spot welding. The workers are only responsible for loading and unloading the workpiece, which greatly reduces the labor intensity and can be completed by ordinary female workers.
2. High efficiency, 2.5 times that of the original.
The system employs a dual-station design with robotic spot welding, allowing welding and material loading/unloading to proceed simultaneously, increasing daily production capacity to 3,000 pieces and improving efficiency by 250%.
3. No need to change work clothes throughout the day, saving working hours.
The tooling, after being simulated by the technical department using 3D, integrates four common air conditioner base plates into one tooling, and with the addition of a dual tooling configuration, it meets the requirement that the tooling for existing products does not need to be switched throughout the day, saving 2 hours per day;
4. Saves labor costs; only one person is needed for the entire station.
By integrating and deploying two machine workstations, each of which can be operated by one person, the two workstations can meet the existing production capacity and save four operators;
5. Intelligent electrode grinding ensures welding quality and high yield.
By using an electrode grinding station, the number of grinding cycles is calibrated, and the machine automatically moves to perform the grinding, reducing manual intervention and ensuring that the calibrated process parameters are fully utilized, thus achieving customer satisfaction with the welding quality.
6. The entire station achieves intelligent control, enabling data detection, storage, and traceability.
The workstation embodies the concept of intelligent manufacturing, employing bus control to capture all electrical parameters of the welding machine. Through curve comparison, it transmits OK and NG signals to the host computer, enabling data detection, storage, and traceability, which has been well received by the end customer.
