As an advanced equipment integrating high-precision welding and automatic intelligent control, the robot laser welding machine is now widely used in many industries such as automobile manufacturing, hardware processing, rail transportation, and engineering machinery. So, before placing an order to purchase a robotic laser welder, what key parameters do you need to confirm?
Why do we need to confirm many issues with you?
The robotic laser welder is not a standardized equipment that can be used as soon as it is purchased, but a complex system that needs to be tailored to the specific application scenario. Its types, configurations, applications, etc. are all different. The more issues we confirm when purchasing industrial equipment or custom systems, the fewer problems you will encounter later.
Key parameters
1. Welding materials
Different materials (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc.) have different requirements for laser type, wavelength, power, and shielding gas.
2. Material thickness
We know whether your product is a thin plate or a medium-thick plate. Usually, a thin plate refers to a plate with a thickness of less than 3mm, which requires high assembly accuracy and welding consistency, and a large batch of workpieces; while medium-thick plates are generally more than 3mm, and the assembly accuracy requirements are not very high. Such workpiece welding needs to be classified and evaluated. Thickness directly affects the selection of laser power, welding speed and welding method.
3. Workpiece size
Determines the arm span requirements, positioning fixture design and trajectory regulation scheme of the robot.
Welding joint form For example: butt welding, fillet welding, lap welding, plane welding or spatial three-dimensional welding, which will affect the robotic laser welder’s motion path and installation method. Understand the application scenarios of different welding forms.
4. Sample pictures/photos
The actual picture helps us quickly understand the complexity of the structure, weldability, and the design requirements of tooling and fixtures.
5. Product drawings (including welding principle markings)
The drawing can more accurately display the weld path and positioning reference, which is convenient for automated welding program writing and fixture manufacturing.
Summary
Robotic laser welder is not a standard product, but a customized intelligent welding system. Every parameter you provide will affect the configuration and overall performance of the equipment. The more comprehensive the confirmation, the more compatible the equipment will be, and the fewer subsequent problems will be.
