A New Approach to the Classic Structure for Robotic Arc Welding Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Starting from the analysis of the modern robotic arc welding system from the kinematic point of view, the paper presents an original concept of the systems structure. Instead a combination of two open chains, as it is generally seen, the author proposes one single closed kinematic chain. The main element of this chain is the electric arc employed for welding, virtually seen as a vector which connects the two open chains, the robot and the part manipulator. This new approach could possibly change and simplify the way arc welding robots are programmed today.
