Abstract: In one embodiment of an enclosure device, a camera casing and light source casing are secured to a plate frame, and the enclosure device is configured to be mounted to an arm, such as a robotic welding arm. A shutter mounting arm may also be secured to the plate frame. A flap may be pivotally mounted to the distal end of the shutter mounting arm, such that the flap may be actuated between a first and second position by an actuator cooperatively engaged with the flap. The first position may be defined as to protect a camera lens positioned in the camera casing and a light source lens positioned in the light source casing. The second position may be defined as to not obscure a line-of-sight from either the light source and/or the camera to the work piece on the arm.

Abstract: Embodiments of welding work cells are disclosed. One embodiment includes a workpiece positioning system, a welding power source, and a welding job sequencer. The workpiece positioning system powers an elevating motion and a rotational motion of a workpiece mounted between a headstock and a tailstock to re-position the workpiece for a next weld to be performed. The welding power source generates welding output power based on a set of welding parameters of the power source. The welding job sequencer commands the workpiece positioning system to re-position the workpiece from a current position to a next position in accordance with a next step of a welding sequence of a welding schedule. The welding job sequencer also commands the welding power source to adjust a current set of welding parameters to a next set of welding parameters in accordance with the next step of the welding sequence of the welding schedule.

Abstract: A five axis welding positioner has a horizontally oriented indexing axis for indexing a welding part between workstations. The indexing axis corresponds to a first axis of rotation. Each workstation has a “C” shaped frame for holding a welding part and may be tilted about a tilting axis. The tilting axes of each workstation correspond to second and third axes of rotation. Each “C” shaped frame has a head stock and tail stock that can rotate the welding part about a rotation axis. The rotation axes correspond to fourth and fifth axes of rotation. Movement about each axis can be effectuated by an actuator such as a motor.

The light source casing housing a light source may be configured as a laser designed to measure distances.
