Abstract
A repair welding device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an appearance inspection result including information about a position of a defective portion of a weld bead of a welded workpiece produced by a main welding that is executed by a welding robot, and a robot control unit configured to set a plurality of interpolation points on a virtual welding line of the main welding executed by the welding robot and instruct the welding robot to execute a repair welding on an interpolation point that is closest to the acquired position of the defective portion. The virtual welding line is simulated based on a main welding program for executing the main welding.
Claims7
A repair welding device comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire an appearance inspection result including information about a position of a defective portion of a weld bead of a welded workpiece produced by a main welding that is executed by a welding robot;
- and
- a robot control unit configured to set a plurality of interpolation points on a virtual welding line of the main welding executed by the welding robot, and instruct the welding robot to execute a repair welding on an interpolation point that is closest to the acquired position of the defective portion, the virtual welding line being simulated based on a main welding program for executing the main welding,
- wherein the position of the defective portion is free from overlap with the virtual welding line.
A repair welding method to be executed by a repair welding device, the repair welding method comprising:
- a process of acquiring an appearance inspection result including information about a position of a defective portion of a weld bead of a welded workpiece produced by a main welding that is executed by a welding robot;
- a process of setting a plurality of interpolation points on a virtual welding line of the main welding executed by the welding robot, the virtual welding line being simulated based on a main welding program for executing the main welding;
- and
- a process of instructing the welding robot to execute a repair welding on an interpolation point that is closest to the acquired position of the defective portion,
- wherein the position of the defective portion is free from overlap with the virtual welding line.
