OFFLINE TEACHING DEVICE AND OFFLINE TEACHING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123625 titled 'OFFLINE TEACHING DEVICE AND OFFLINE TEACHING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an offline teaching device for welding, which includes an input unit, an acquisition unit, a generation unit, and a control unit. The device is designed to facilitate the creation of a teaching program for a welding robot based on three-dimensional shape data of a workpiece and an operation trajectory of the welding.

  • Input unit receives operator operation
  • Acquisition unit acquires three-dimensional shape data of a workpiece, operation trajectory of the welding, and scanning range of a sensor
  • Generation unit generates three-dimensional regions to be scanned by the sensor based on acquired scanning range and a scanning section
  • Control unit disposes three-dimensional regions on the workpiece based on operator operation input, creates and outputs a teaching program for the welding robot

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and construction where welding processes are utilized.

Problems Solved

1. Streamlining the teaching process for welding robots 2. Improving accuracy and efficiency in welding operations

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

an offline teaching device include an input unit that receives an operator operation, an acquisition unit that acquires three-dimensional shape data of a workpiece, an operation trajectory of the welding, and a scanning range of a sensor; a generation unit that generates three-dimensional regions to be scanned by the sensor based on the acquired scanning range and a scanning section; and a control unit that disposes at least one of the three-dimensional regions on the three-dimensional shape data of the workpiece based on the operator operation input to the input unit, and that creates and outputs, to a welding robot that performs the welding, a teaching program for scanning the three-dimensional region based on the disposed three-dimensional region and the operation trajectory of the welding.
