In the manufacturing field of large fuel tanks (such as engineering machinery fuel tanks, oil storage tanks, etc.), sealing and structural strength are lifelines. Traditional manual welding faces pain points such as harsh environment, low efficiency, and large quality fluctuations. The introduction of ground-track welding robot workstations is bringing innovative power to this key process.
The ground-track system greatly expands the robot's operating radius, easily handling the continuous welding of longitudinal seams and circumferential seams of large fuel tank bodies that are several meters or even more than ten meters long, without the need for frequent lifting and adjustment of workpieces. In addition, the welding robot relies on ultra-high repeatability and precise trajectory control to ensure that the penetration depth and width of each weld are uniform, significantly reducing the risk of leakage caused by welding deformation or incomplete penetration. For multi-angle short welds on special-shaped parts such as pipe joints, flanges, and reinforcements on fuel tanks, the robot can flexibly adjust the welding gun posture to achieve stable and high-quality welding of complex spatial paths.
The robot workstation can operate day and night, and the welding speed significantly exceeds that of skilled workers, greatly shortening the production cycle and improving overall production capacity. It can completely eliminate the quality fluctuations caused by manual fatigue and technical differences, the weld is beautiful, the internal quality (such as the pass rate of X-ray detection) is significantly improved, and the product reliability is guaranteed. The welding parameters (current, voltage, speed) are accurately recorded and monitored to achieve process traceability, providing strong data support for continuous optimization and quality analysis.
Completely liberate workers from the high temperature, smoke, and strong light welding environment, eliminate occupational health hazards, and improve the inherent safety level. Although there is an initial investment, in the long run, the robot has greatly reduced the dependence on high-priced skilled welders, reduced the rework rate and scrap loss, and the comprehensive cost-effectiveness is significant.
The ground rail welding robot workstation has become a core tool for improving the quality, efficiency and reliability of large oil tank manufacturing with its excellent precision, powerful expansion capabilities, and stable and efficient output. It provides a solid technical guarantee for the sealing requirements of the pressure vessel level, and promotes the oil tank manufacturing to move forward firmly towards intelligence and quality.
