QIROX RoboScan at Schwevers: Efficient welding of small batch sizes - without programming effort
As a future-oriented partner for steel and structural engineering solutions, Schwevers attaches great importance to innovative solutions in industrial and commercial construction. With the intelligent robot system from CLOOS, the company not only convinced its customers with its usual professional handling of projects, but also the employees. Thanks to the minimal programming effort and the simple operation of QIROX RoboScan, even workpieces in batch size 1 can be welded automatically today. To do this, the operator first positions the workpiece on the workstation of the system and the scanner mounted on a linear track scans the work surface of the component and saves the result. The system detects weld seams such as fillet and corner seams as well as butt and lap seams and converts the data stored by the scanner into a 3D model which appears on a screen. The welding program is automatically generated from the comparison of the 3D model with the component geometry stored in QIROX RoboScan. The operator can check the result and, for example, make corrections to the weld seam length or change the welding direction. QIROX RoboScan then transfers the completely generated program including all welding data to the robot controller and welding can be started simply by pressing a button on the QIROX RoboScan screen.
