Different Solution of Robotic Cells for Metal Sheets Beveling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Preparation of the elements has an deciding influence on quality of the welded joints. In case of welding thick metal sheets, one of crucial technological processes is beveling details’ edges. Traditionally, it has been performed manually. This solution creates considerably tough work condi-tions. It is a very laborious process, performed in uncomfortable position, during which the worker is exposed to inhaling dangerous vapors, burns and noise. In addition, manual beveling is labor-consuming and its effects are often not satisfactory in terms of quality. Robotization of this techno-logical process eliminates all disadvantages mentioned above. Robotized technology ensures high and stable quality of performed cuts. Robotized stations offer far better efficiency. Moreover, stand-ing in greater distance from the process itself, the worker is practically protected from substantial amount of dangers. The paper presents organizational and technical aspects of the robotized metal sheets beveling, with use of different cutting technologies.
