WELDER'S WORLD No. 12

Somit ist der TH6i ein echter Allrounder, der dem i-Stoß auf
die Spur kommt und auch nicht vor spiegelnden Oberflächen
zurückschreckt. Auch hier liefert der Sensor exakte
Messwerte. Er ist besonders für Bauteile mit sehr geringen
Spaltmaßen, die über einen i-Stoß verbunden werden
sollen, genau die richtige Wahl. Der neue TH6i führt den
Roboter mit dem Schweißbrenner punktgenau in drei
Dimensionen im gesamten Prozess, sodass die perfekte
Schweißnaht entsteht. Sowohl bei Lichtbogen- als auch
bei Laseranwendungen.
digital / analogue interfaces or an Ethernet connection
with a standardised protocol. The sensor can be used for
both laser and arc welding processes.
Typical examples of TH6i applications can be found in
pipe and container construction. Many experiments
with the TH6i have already been carried out in the
ABICOR BINZEL ROBOTIC SYSTEMS Innovation and
Technology Centre (ITC). For example, a feasibility
study was prepared for a manufacturer of flue pipes. The
modular construction of these pipe segments that are
welded on top of each other provides great potential for
the use of a TH6i, which directs the robot and the welding
torch for the square butt seam optimally over the
weld with the additional greyscale camera. The welding
points are not a problem for the sensor either. The TH6i
measures the joint reliably even with highly reflective surfaces.
This makes the TH6i into a genuine all-rounder
that tracks the square butt joint and is not afraid of reflective
surfaces either. The sensor provides exact measured
values here as well. It is exactly the right choice for components
with very narrow gap widths in particular that
are to be joined with a square butt joint. The new TH6i
guides the robot with the welding torch precisely in three
dimensions throughout the process, so that a perfect
weld is created. With both arc and laser applications.
