inrotech A / S from Denmark achieves the optimum with its special welding robot Inrotech-Crawler Weld in the fully automated process. This is done by calculating the welding process in advance. When running the welding does the Robot on the exact measured values of the powerful laser Profile scanner from Micro-Epsilon back. The scanners are light, precise and compact.

After calculating the welding process, the Welding robots this automatically. He receives the exact measured values for this from the powerful Scancontrol profile scanners.

A scanner is on the crawler fixed. It records the geometry of the seam to be welded before the welding process. The highly accurate profile measurement for the potential weld seam enables the welding to be automated.

Reliable measurement results for the planned weld seam

Thanks to an optimal control of the exposure time and the high resolution, the sensor delivers reliable measurement results on almost all measurement objects. The compact sensor has a integrated controller. The various connection options via an SDK (Software Development Kit) enable the calibrated profile data to be transferred directly to the customer's software via the Scancontrol DLL.

The Weldlogic technology von Inrotech then calculates, among other things, the number of welding passes, position of the welds, welding speed and pendulum width. Immediately after the calculation, the crawler automatically carries out the welding process.

Micro-Epsilon is exhibiting at FMB 2020.
