Recently, STEP, a high-quality robot brand, announced that the intelligent robot welding workstation of power tower foot has achieved another fruitful result -- it has won the second batch order of two tower manufacturing enterprises under Power Construction Group of China, which ranked 107th in the 2021 Fortune Global 500. This is following the delivery of STEP tower foot welding intelligent robot welding workstation to these two enterprises in 2021, which again won the recognition of the industry's leading enterprises. This marks that STEP robot teach-free, intelligent thick plate welding technology in the power tower industry has achieved a leading advantage. In the future, STEP will provide users with intelligent welding robots and integrated solutions of "standard import, beyond import" in the steel structure welding Blue Ocean market.
CLP kenwood company has been put into production use STEP power tower foot intelligent robot welding workstation a year, in the daily production workshop, wu company take people without xiema method, over the past year, work more than 18 hours a day, the practice proved STEP power tower foot high efficiency, intelligent robot welding workstation performance is stable, It can fully meet the needs of the power tower industry, help enterprises achieve rapid delivery and effectively reduce labor costs.
The steel structure industry is divided into equipment steel structure, construction steel structure and bridge steel structure. The power tower belongs to equipment steel structure. The common feature of the industry is multiple varieties, small batch and thick plate welding, which requires high weld strength. The industry is currently in a stage of rapid development, welding is the steel structure engineering production and installation of the key technology and quality control means, in the project construction has a crucial position, and the number of welders used is quite large, welders are expensive, difficult to recruit is very prominent, is an important welding robot blue sea market.
Tower type industry is a typical project, due to the steel structure diversity, high degree of product customization, presents the characteristics of many varieties, small batch, plus the plates are thick plate, some products even have grade weld requirements, due to the group of deviation in the process of machining and cutting deviation leads to poor product consistency, the past have not been able to use robots to replace manual welding.
User pain points in steel structure industry, using the parametric programming STEP innovation and laser welding technology, build the STEP foot welding robot workstation, workpiece size information, allows users to enter a simple robot through laser welding seam track recognition system, automatic call welding expert database parameters, So as to realize teach-free, intelligent welding.
Advantages of STEP welding robot system
□ The system is mainly composed of STEPSA8/1800 robot, laser sensor, Autai Pulse MAG-630RP welding power supply and large tonnage shifting unit.
□According to the characteristics of multi-variety and small batch products, STEP robot developed in-depth customized parametric programming software by opening the underlying code, so that the workers on the site could quickly put into production by simply inputting the size information of the workpiece.
□ on site group artifacts and blanking deviation of workpiece consistency problem, the system combining welding technology, laser sensor to identify artifacts information, accessibility requirements, accurate planning and guiding robot welding trajectory accurately reach the weld position, can identify the lap, docking, Angle and so on the many kinds of weld type, effective arc resistance, spray resistance, resistance to high temperature.
Pulse FOG-630RP welding power supply is an industry-specific welding power supply developed by STEP and its strategic partner Shandong Aotai Electric for the welding of thick plates and ultra-thick plates through long-term cooperation. The welding power supply is equipped with the deep penetration welding process, and the weld forming is more full, uniform and stable than manual welding, and the working efficiency is improved at the same time.
In the future, STEP will be deeply involved in the power tower industry, provide more diverse intelligent robot solutions for the industry, and promote the technical achievements and application experience accumulated in the power tower industry to the new blue sea in the steel structure industry.
