In the field of steel structure manufacturing, production efficiency has always been a key factor affecting the competitiveness of enterprises. Due to the limitations of manual operation, traditional welding methods face many bottlenecks in improving efficiency. The emergence of steel structure ground rail welding robot workstation provides an innovative solution to this problem, and it has shown significant advantages in improving production efficiency.
The steel structure orbital welding robot workstation installs a walking axis track on the ground, allowing the robot to move freely along the track, greatly expanding the operating radius. Taking the common seven-axis ground rail steel structure robot workstation as an example, the guide rail and the rack move together, and the servo motor is precisely controlled, with extremely high walking accuracy. This allows the welding work that was originally limited by the range of motion of the robot body to be expanded, and can easily cope with the welding needs of longer or large workpieces.
Compared with traditional fixed-position welding equipment, the ground-track welding robot workstation can span a larger space and continuously weld welds at different positions. There is no need to frequently adjust the workpiece position or move the welding equipment as in the traditional way, which greatly saves auxiliary time, enables more welding tasks to be completed per unit time, and directly improves the overall production efficiency.
This type of workstation is also very innovative in its working mode. Take the common A/B station arrangement of the tire frame on both sides of the robot as an example. Both stations are welding stations. In the actual production process, when the robot is welding at station A, the worker can perform preparatory work such as loading and unloading at station B. When the welding at station A is completed, the robot can quickly move to station B to continue welding, reducing the waiting time for loading and greatly improving the utilization rate of the equipment.
Not only that, some workstations also have the ability to arrange 2 components on one side. The robot can scan 2 components at the same time and continue to weld them. This mode of simultaneous welding of multiple components further improves welding efficiency, allowing the equipment to produce more qualified products per unit time. The production efficiency has been increased several times compared to the traditional single-component welding mode.
