Robot Welding

Welding contains two crucial activities- joining the workpiece and handling the parts during the process. If you want to automate the welding process, it is imperative to think about the automation of these two activities differently. Welding robots are used to completely automate the joining process by automating the workpiece joining and part handling. It is commonly used for resistance spot welding and arc welding.

Welding robots are pre-programmed or guided by machine vision to perform the joining and handling operations. We can change the programming according to the type and volume of the welding operation. One welding robot is proven to do the task of several human welders. For example, arc welding produces a lot of sparkling and smoke; the human welder can keep the torch on work for roughly 30 % of the time, while it is up to 90% for the robot. Hence, welding effectiveness and efficiency increase with robot involvement.

Advantages of Robot Welding:

  • Consistent quality
  • Increased productivity
  • Reduce waste
  • Lower production cost
  • Decrease risk of injury

Disadvantage of Robot Welding:

  • Delayed quality control
  • Specialized training cost
  • Loss of human jobs
  • Limited functionality

Static Assumption of Dynamic Conditions

Image
Mathematics is a beautiful subject; solving the differentiation, Integration, and differential equation is pretty fun. The same applied to the application of Mathematics (primarily calculus) to Physics. However, some mathematical equations can’t be solved and sometimes become a nightmare for the physicist. These equations can be solved through certain assumptions, sometimes excluding three dimensions and sometimes time. In Mechanical Engineering and other related domains, Dynamic conditions are encountered most of the time. It is a condition where the parameters vary with time, and we can’t ignore time in a particular situation. These conditions make mathematical equations quite complex and impossible to solve. Hence, the assumption of static for such dynamic conditions is required. Static condition is the condition where the parameter either does not vary with time or varies very slowly with time, such that the time parameters can be ignored. All the dynamic conditions can’t be assume...
