Abstract
A measured welding event is reproduced by a welding robot. Welding events are organized into a database by a three-dimensional measuring device and a data logging device, and the welding events are subjected to statistical and analytical processes, thereby producing operation data of a robot.
Claims9
A welding robot comprising:
- a welder that is used for a welding operation;
- means for monitoring the welding operation;
- a welding operation database in which at least one of a welding current and a welding voltage during said monitored welding operation is accumulated as welding conditions;
- robot operation generating means for receiving welding conditions corresponding to objective welding from said welding operation database, and for deciding an operation of said robot;
- a robot controller which drivingly controls said robot in accordance with an output of said robot operation generating means;
- and
- a welder which is controlled in accordance with the welding conditions output from said welding operation database.
