Automotive Welding Robots in the Automotive Industry

 

Within a manufacturing environment, two types of welding robots generally get used. A semiautomatic and automatic welding robot system each have a role. The semiautomatic robotic welding system relies on human control for smaller-scale jobs. The controller will set the parameters for the robot to perform a simple operation. When complete, the person in control will handle the finished part.

 

In automotive manufacturing, a more intricate system is critical for uninterrupted flow. Welding robots get a series of commands to keep the assembly process moving. The automatic robotic welding system involves the machine in the entire line function. The robot gets programmed to pick the part, place it on the welding platform, and perform the weld. The customized machines will then upload the completed task to the assembly stage. With this type of welding automation, robots perform a repetitive tasks. In some cases, a human controller needs to be present to ensure the quality of work. But with reprogramming, it is often the case that welding robots will work independently.

 

For several reasons, the automotive industry has moved to more use of robotics to build cars. The main factor is to reduce the chance of human error. Yet, that does not mean the human element is obsolete. Personnel is crucial to maintaining quality standards and for machine calibration. Technicians will also perform repairs on faulty machines. But repetitive tasks can get performed with greater speed and efficiency with robots. Welding automation takes on these tasks with more precision through programming. Plus, a welding robot system will affix parts the same way each time and faster. Different welding robots perform a variety of functions in automotive manufacturing. From a spot weld on a large piece of body panel to an intricate computer part, robotic welding is vital. Welding robots also receive programming to collaborate on larger jobs in line assembly.

Popular Automotive Welding Robot Processes
 

Resistance welding
Resistance welding is one of the most common types of robotic welding because of its economical benefits and versatility of function. In this process, a current passes between two pieces of metal, forming a pool with the heat and joining the pieces together. Spot welding is a type of resistance welding. This type of welding is used primarily to join thin metal together. Typically, this practice is used in the automotive industry to join sheet metal frames together.

Arc welding
Arc welding uses an electrode to create the heat necessary to melt and weld the metal components together. This type of welding is used for applications that require high accuracy and repeatability.

Tig welding
Tungsten inert gas (tig) welding is used for projects that require precision, such as welding bicycle frames and completing other complex products. This is a type of arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. Typically, this is a slower weld because of the complexity of the process.

Mig welding
Metal inert gas (mig) welding uses a high rate of melted filler metal to create the weld. The process involves a wire that is fed toward the heated weld tip. Mig welding is a subtype of gas metal arc welding and is best used for applications that require simplicity and speed.

Laser welding
Laser welding uses a laser generator that delivers a laser light via a fiber optic cable through a robotic cutting head to weld pieces together. Laser welding is often used in high volume applications that require high accuracy, especially in the automotive sector.

 

Guide to Buying a Automotive Welding Robot

 

 

1.Peripherals
Some welding robots need add-ons for them to work, this is an added cost that should be avoided if you can. Go for a welding robot that comes in a whole package, with the ability to handle a myriad of functions without the need to spend more on buying other parts. If you have to buy one that needs accessories, make sure the parts in questions are easy to find locally.
2.Space availability
The number and the size of the welding robots you intend to acquire depend on the space available at your plant. When replacing human labor with robots, you will be forced to clear the floor in advance. The bigger space, the more the number of welding robots that can be fitted in and vice versa. If you were running a small factory and you intend to automate you will need bigger floor space.
3.Nature of work
Some manufacturing processes do not require advanced welding processes, but if you are in the kind of manufacturing that involves heavy metallic parts then robotic welding would be the most sensible route to take. Automotive manufacturing involves the use of heavy car parts that cannot be handled well by human labor, welding robots are the only option left in that industry.
4.Flexibility
Most robots involved in manufacturing are task-oriented, i.E they are designed to handle a specific role. As much as this makes them efficient, it does limit their range and when you consider their cost, it would really help you a lot if you can get a factory robot arm that can handle more than one role. A welding robot that can also handle picking and placing would be a better investment compared to one that can only handle welding.
5.Availability
It will cost you more to import a specific type of welding robot if it cannot be found locally. If you happen to live near a major robot manufacturer you may be lucky enough to even place special orders for customized robots. The use of industrial robots is not as widespread in all areas, this makes industrial automation manufacturers to be concentrated in specific areas that may be located too far from where your plant is.
6.Support
After-sale support is vital when it comes to handling robots. They are machines like any other, only highly advanced. Regardless, they will eventually break down or malfunction after prolonged use. When this happens you will require help with them without having to fork out crazy amounts of money.
7.Spare parts availability
Overused welding parts like end effectors are most likely to break down as they do most of the work. Any movable part is prone to the friction of some kind and even though it takes time, they will need replacements along the way. Select a welding robot whose spare parts are readily available at a moment' s notice.
8.Software upgrades
The availability of software upgrades is also another big factor that should help you narrow down on the type of welding robot you would want for your factory. Upgrades make the robots become more efficient, being stuck with a robot that is using software that is overdue may start affecting the quality of production. Go for robots that have constant software support all through with upgrades at least once a year.

 

Integrating Automotive Welding Robot with Other Manufacturing Processes
 

Automation doesn' t have to be all-or-nothing. For example, a manufacturer can have 'islands of automation' for some areas such as cutting, welding, inspection, while assembly, machine tending, and material handling remain manual. Integrated systems often use computer software and connected devices to coordinate components. One powerful tool is programmable automation controllers (PACs), which synchronize equipment with a human-machine interface (HMI) and teach pendant, gather data about speed and motion, and even make adjustments to operations based on data from other equipment it' s connected to.

 

An automotive welding robot cell that utilizes a MIG robot, nut welder, and material handling robot. It is designed to accommodate 53 different model numbers of welded components and can run for one hour unattended. It also features conveyors, automatic changeover capability (in which fixturing automatically adjusts when a part' s barcode is scanned), and vision cameras. A MIG robot welding cell in an automotive manufacturing facility that welds aluminum bumpers. It is a two-station welding process with an automatic transfer between the two weld stations. An operator loads parts into each station, then removes the completed weldments at the end of each cycle.

 

Especially when workpieces are large or work takes place in a small area, the ability to coordinate robots' movements allows several to perform work in the same space at the same time. Robots can also coordinate with human operators to perform parts of a larger task. For example, while a human operator loads the next part at the front of the welding cell, a robotic arm with a gripper can remove a finished assembly from the weld fixture through the back, then place it on a conveyor. Automating one task/process can have implications up and downstream. For example, the great precision of robot welding means there' s less room for the variations in cut angles or seam alignment that a skilled human welder can easily adjust for. Cutting/forming must be held to tight tolerances so that part fit-up is at a level a robot welder can work with. Another consideration is the increase in throughput that may result due to the high speeds possible with automotive welding robot, you need to be sure operations up- and downstream can accommodate the change and that you have a plan for transferring more parts quickly.
