Meet The THG Automation URW-2L: Our New Linear Rail Option
Integrating this linear rail with your THG Automation robotic welding system(s), and one or more rotational positioners, can further enhance the efficiency, flexibility, and precision of your welding process. Let's explore the reasons why this combination works exceptionally well:
-
Increased Reach and Work Envelope: The linear rail option extends the reach of the robotic arm beyond the limitations of the rotational positioner's axis. This expansion in the work envelope allows the robot to access a broader area without repositioning the workpiece manually, reducing downtime and increasing overall productivity.
-
Multi-Axis Welding Capabilities: By combining the rotational positioner and linear rail, the robotic welding system gains multi-axis capabilities. This enables the robot to move not only around the rotational axis but also along the linear axis, allowing it to weld complex shapes and contours with ease.
-
Seamless Seam Tracking: The linear rail option, when equipped with sensors and tracking systems, enhances seam tracking capabilities during welding. It ensures precise alignment of the welding torch along the weld joint, compensating for any potential deviations or variations in the workpiece.
-
Optimized Weld Path Planning: Integrating the linear rail option with the robotic system and rotational positioner enables sophisticated path planning algorithms. The software can calculate the most efficient welding path, taking advantage of both rotational and linear movements to minimize travel time and optimize the welding process.
-
Versatile Welding Applications: This combined setup expands the range of welding applications that the system can handle. From welding long, continuous seams to intricate and complex geometries, the robotic system equipped with the linear rail option and rotational positioner becomes versatile and adaptable to diverse welding tasks.
-
Higher Throughput and Reduced Lead Times: The combination of the rotational positioner and linear rail option further streamlines the welding process, allowing for continuous welding along longer workpieces. This results in higher throughput and reduced lead times, increasing the overall efficiency of the production process.
-
Enhanced Accuracy and Consistency: The integration of linear motion adds an extra level of precision to the robotic welding system. This ensures consistent weld quality throughout the workpiece, reducing the risk of errors and defects.
-
Seamless Automation Integration: THG linear rail systems are designed with compatibility in mind, making the integration process with robotic welding systems and rotational positioners relatively straightforward. This enables seamless automation and easy programming for complex welding tasks.
