Since weld distortion is a very costly problem for U.S. shipyards, the National Shipbuidling Research Program (NSRP) has embarked on a project to reduce weld distortion through innovative Induction ...

Arc welding is too slow and causes distortion. High-power laser systems are costly and inflexible. Skilled welders are in short supply. The Solution: Collaborative Robot + 6kW Laser + Digital Wire ...

Welding thin sheet metal can be challenging because you need to obtain adequate fusion while preventing distortion and burnthrough. The key skill is to control the heat across the sheet metal to ...

This paper focuses on an arc-welding robot scheduling problem, which is the problem of determining the sequence of welding operations while avoiding heat-caused distortion for the objective of ...

It is a reconfiguration of the welding cell from a process bottleneck into a competitive asset. By mastering the synergy of two independently controlled arcs, KeyGree enables heavy fabricators to do ...
