    摘要: A welding system including an arc monitoring, training, and control system is disclosed. The welding system includes a power supply, controller, and associated memory. When a weld is performed, the weld command and weld feedback parameters can be stored in the memory, along with associated alarm limit values. During subsequent welds, the input weld commands and actual feedback values can be compared to the established limits, and a fault signal provided to an operator or supervisor when the value exceeds the established limits. The fault signals can be used for training operators, as well as providing monitoring signals, and can be stored with weld data in a database for later analysis. In addition, collected weld data can be used to determine when to clean, repair, or replace consumables, including, for example, contact tips, wire drive liners, and drive rolls, and to monitor usage of wire and gas.

    摘要: At present, the repair of casts as it is done today has the disadvantage of being carried out manually or in a semiautomatic way which means less efficiency in the system and the superficial inspection has the disadvantage of being carried out in many occasions with low levels of vision advanced technology application. Due to the above a robot system and method for the repair and/or inspection of cast surfaces in an automated way have been developed. The robotic system is composed mainly of a robotic manipulator of at least 4 degrees of freedom, and a gripping mechanism which allows to take the repair device from a tool holder rack located at one of its sides, moving it through a defined path to the repair and inspection area, where a repair process will be carried out in a sequential and programmed way to a number of cast faces to be defined. Additionally, the configuration of this system allows to carry out an inspection process of the surfaces in a sequential and programmed way through the use of a vision system by taking from a tool holder rack or carrying an advanced vision system for the inspection of surfaces.

    摘要: An adhesive robot, comprising a device for applying adhesive to a workpiece. The adhesive robot has a nozzle head (18), which has an application nozzle (24) and can be supplied with a pressurized viscous adhesive, the nozzle head (18) and the workpiece (14) being displaceable in relation to one another. The adhesive which is issued from the application nozzle (24) in a spray jet (28) is applied to a workpiece (14) along a predefined line of application (36) in the form of a strip of adhesive (40). To facilitate the adjustment and re-calibration process, the system comprises at least one camera unit (42), which is located on the nozzle head (18) and whose leans is directed towards the spray jet (28) or the adhesive strip (40). The output of said camera unit is connected to an image evaluation unit (45). The image data (40) recorded by the camera unit (42) is buffered and compared with predetermined image values (40). The decisive control parameters for the system can be calibrated and tracked either automatically or by remote control, on the basis of deviations in the image data that have been determined along the line of application (36).

    摘要: A board inspection apparatus system includes a first apparatus, a second apparatus, a third apparatus and an information transfer section. The first apparatus acquires first three-dimensional information of a solder paste on a board, and inspects whether the solder paste is formed good by a first tolerance based on the first three-dimensional information. The second apparatus mounts an electronic component on the board to join the electronic component and the solder paste. The third apparatus acquires second three-dimensional information of a solder joint, and inspects whether the electronic component is mounted good by a second tolerance based on the second three-dimensional information. The information transfer section transfers the first three-dimensional information to the third apparatus, or transfers the second three-dimensional information to the first apparatus. Thus, a more effective inspection condition may be established, and a rate of defect for each apparatus may be greatly reduced.
