Application of automated laser seam tracking straight seam welding technology in production
In the manufacturing process of a specific type of conical cylinder, high-frequency argon arc welding is employed for butt welding. The uncertainty of the butt weld position relative to the welding gun results in excessive manual labor during production, leading to suboptimal product qualification rates; Consequently, the implementation of a fusion laser welding seam tracking automated control system was initiated. This system utilizes a PLC to gather various sensor data signals, control servomotors, valves, and motors, thereby establishing a comprehensive automated butt welding tracking control system. Ultimately, this achieves the goals of reducing labor costs, diminishing labor intensity, and enhancing both production efficiency and product quality.
