Modular Welding Fixtures for Robotic Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the proposal of welding fixtures which achieves pre-arrangement of individual parts of fixture based on suitable modules. Also is focused on methodological process of their design using modularity principle and reconfigurability. Describe procedure of designing fixture with emphasis to specific requirements for welding fixtures in robotic welding. Take advantages of simple substitution of individual modules welding fixtures by database compatible with modules in 3D environment. Optimization and control of collision status is realized in simulation environment ABB Robot Studio.
