Mobile robotic welding cell

Saveliy Martynov

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the market for robotization in welding production. It proposes the development of a portable robotic welding cell based on these insights. The work is divided into four sections.
The first section explores the current market for robotic welding systems and evaluates the necessity of integrating such systems into welding production. It discusses advantages like increased efficiency and precision, alongside disadvantages such as high initial costs and maintenance.
The second section outlines essential criteria for designing a mobile robotic welding cell. This includes constructing a technical diagram detailing the location and set of required components, defining necessary dimensional criteria, and creating a 3D model and structural diagram to illustrate component interactions.
The third section involves selecting components that meet the established criteria. A functional diagram is constructed to demonstrate how these components work together to achieve the desired functionality of the mobile robotic welding cell.
The final section develops an electrical circuit diagram for the connection of components in the control device. It demonstrates the logical connection of components and their signal interactions using the Ladder programming language in PLC.
