Deviating measurements
compared to programs?
Products that are a precise fit for the welding robot can
theoretically be welded one by one by the robot without any program corrections. However in practice the
welding seams may deviate from the program positions
owing to the material being warped by the one-sided
application of heat.
With steel structures in particular, deviations over large
lengths can sometimes run up to several centimetres.
Irregular weld-gaps and complex shapes often need to be
corrected in a robotised welding process.

Applications
The Arc-Eye laser sensor is suitable for detecting and automatically tracking
virtually all welding seams that are found in practice. The Arc-Eye laser sensor corrects the set welding parameters and robot movements in realtime
during the production process. The Arc-Eye laser sensor makes it possible to
use the robot to weld work pieces with an irregular weld-gap of the welding
seam, non-constant measurement tolerances and complex shapes without
any manual corrections or search routines being needed in advance. This
creates options for the robotised or mechanised welding of complex work
pieces in single or small series.
