How +RVision TorchMate is
used in a welding cell Robot
In a typical robotic arc welding cell, the location
of the welding wire (TCP) to the joint must
be maintained within +/- one-half of the wire
diameter. If the welding torch is bent due to a
crash or the contact tube becomes worn, poor
quality welds can result. Without +RVision
TorchMate, valuable production time is lost when
torches have to be replaced or weld paths are
re-taught. It is even more critical to maintain an
accurate TCP with a tandem torch, so the direction
of travel bisects both wires. +RVision TorchMate
can improve weld quality by updating the direction
of travel based on the location of both wire tips.
Designed for the shop floor, +RVision TorchMate
includes an industrial camera enclosure for
viewing the welding torch. The setup of +RVision
TorchMate is done by calibrating the camera with
the included hardware and utilizing standard
menus to accommodate the number of TCPs to
maintain and how many robots will use each
enclosure.
