Automated Offline Programming for Robotic Welding

演讲摘要

Industrial robotic automation is a key tool for Small/Medium Enterprises to achieve flexibility and low pro- duction costs. However, for low production volumes the cost of re-programming such systems limit their usability. Automated Offline Programming is an approach which uses software algo- rithms to plan robot operations, rather than requiring expensive and time consuming manual programming. This paper presents an Automated Offline Programming solution developed for a steel fabrication company and the planning algorithms involved. By directly integrating automatic robot program generation into the design pipeline, high quality robot programs can be efficiently and flexibly generated.
