Abstract

Automation of welding with robotic arms has become an inevitable trend in modern manufacturing technologies. This process can be automated by using a "click and go" in which the robot will weld a line where the spot is described or by using an in-line tracking algorithm in which the robot will choose the spot where to weld the line in each layer. This paper presents a simple methodology for the reconstruction of the weld joint and the classification of the joint geometry to serve as a first step to the automatic determination of the robot trajectory. The weld joint has been reconstructed using a laser profilometer placed as a tool on the robot. Spurious data has been removed by signal processing. The joint has been reconstructed three-dimensionally. The classification of the joint profiles was generated using an algorithm based on signal processing and artificial intelligence. This algorithm has been tested for the classification of V-joints (bevel-bevel) and single bevel joints.
