The project describes the configuration, manufacture, and deployment of a fully automated robotic welding carrier to join sub-entities of tractor cabs. It consists of a KUKA industrial robot and a Fronius welding system integrated into the cell that is synchronized over a ProfiNet industrial network. Its major characteristics are the two servo-controlled positioners used in manipulating the parts, the centralized control with the usage of a Siemens PLC, and an elaborate safety system, which includes scanners of the areas. Automated functions included in the system are the cleaning of the torches after each time and the automatic recalibration of the tool center point (TCP) after the collisions. The application proves to be a strong, secure, and effective assembly of industrial welding, which is highly precise with the least level of operator involvement.
