For creating or change the system and method for sequence of welds

The cross reference of related application: the application is that on Dec 20th, 2006 submits and is entitled as the part continuation application of the US application serial No. 11/613,652 of " welding job sequencer ".The full content of aforementioned application is merged in herein by reference.

Technical field

The device consistent with the present invention, system and method relate to welding job unit (workcell).More specifically, the present invention relates to respectively according to the welder system of the preamble of claim 1 and 10 and the method for welding in welding unit.

background of invention

In the related, working cell is used to generate welding (weld) or welding assembly.There is the categories of work cells of at least two kinds of broad sense, comprise robot working unit and semi-automatic work cell.

In robot working unit, the scheduling (schedule) of welding operation and execution are mostly automatic, rarely have operator to get involved.Therefore, these unit generally have relatively low labour cost and relative high throughput rate.But their repetitive operation easily can not be suitable for welding condition and/or the sequence (sequence) of change.

On the contrary, semi-automatic work cell (namely relating to the working cell of the welding operation of at least some operator) generally provides relative to robotization lower robot working unit, and correspondingly has relatively high labour cost and relatively low throughput rate.But, there is a lot of semi-automatic welding work unit that uses and in fact compare to the favourable situation of robot working unit.Such as, semi-automatic welding work unit more easily can be suitable for welding condition and/or the sequence of change.

Unfortunately, in the semi-automatic work cell of correlation technique, when welding the assembly of much complex, usually need multiple different weld schedule for welding dissimilar in different component parts.In many systems, when a different welding schedule must be utilized, need operator to stop welding operation and manually adjust the output of semi-automatic equipment according to new scheduling.At some in other system, eliminate this manually adjust by storing specific scheduling in working cell.However, even in such a system, operator still needs time-out welding operation and pressed the button before it can continue welding to select new weld schedule.

For these of setting (set) different weld schedule, to put into practice none be efficient especially.Therefore, in practice, generally for elimination and the weld schedule quantity used in semi-automatic work cell is reduced to the needs of lasting adjustment semi-automatic equipment output.Although the minimizing of weld schedule makes the overall operation of welder easier, the throughput rate of reduction and lower oeverall quality may be caused to the forced simplification of this approach.

In addition, when observing strict quality control specifications, sometimes must perform welding by particular sequence, examining each welding and performing with a given set condition, and during welding operation, monitoring the output of this equipment.In robot working unit, these require easily to meet.But in semi-automatic work cell, these require to be subject to the impact of mistake, because operator must notice in all these oneself performing outside welding operation.

Be presented in n-lustrative in the semiautomatic welding method of the correlation technique of Fig. 1 and the illustrated examples of the problems referred to above has been shown.In the method, various scheduling, sequencing (sequencing), inspection (inspection) and welding operation each all by operator (i.e. welder) oneself tissue and execution.Specifically, operator starts weld job in operation 10.Subsequently, in operation 20, operator arranges (setup) welding jig according to scheduling A.Next, operator uses weld schedule A to perform welding #1, welding #2 and welding #3 in operation 23,24 and 26.Subsequently, operator stops welding operation and arranges described welding jig in operation 30 according to scheduling B.Next, in operation 32, operator uses weld schedule B to perform welding #4.Subsequently, operator checks the size of (check) assembly in operation 40, and arranges welding jig in operation 50 according to scheduling C.Next, operator uses weld schedule C to perform welding #5 and welding #6 in operation 52 and 54.After the welding operations are completed, the assembly that operator welds at operation 60 visual inspection, and complete this weld job in operation 70.

Obviously, method shown in Fig. 1 depends on operator and correctly follows the sequencing and inspection that are intended for performing welding, and to carry out exactly changing (such as in operation 30) between weld schedule, and oneself performs welding.Mistake in these responsibilities any may cause doing over again (if mistake was found in the inspection period of operation 60) or causing defective FRU to be supplied to terminal user.In addition, this exemplary semiautomatic welding method constraint throughput rate, because operator must take time configure and reconfigure weld schedule.

The improvement of the problems referred to above urgently in relevant technology systems.
