6-axis welding robots play a crucial role in modern industry, however, they may also encounter various malfunctions during use. Understanding the causes of these malfunctions is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of robots and improving production efficiency. So, what are the common causes of faults in 6-axis welding robots? Today, the editor will analyze for everyone.
Common faults of 6-axis welding robots include gun collision, arc failure, mechanical failure, environmental factors, improper operation, and lack of maintenance.
Hit the gun. Usually it is caused by deviations in the assembly of the workpiece or inaccurate TCP (tool center point) of the welding gun. To solve this problem, it is necessary to check the assembly status and correct the welding gun TCP.
Arc fault. Usually caused by the welding wire not coming into contact with the workpiece or improper process parameter settings. To solve such problems, manual wire feeding, adjusting the distance between the welding gun and the weld seam, or adjusting the process parameters appropriately can be used.
Mechanical malfunction. Such as bearing wear, gear breakage, or loose couplings, these can all lead to abnormal noise, vibration, or decreased positioning accuracy during motor operation. For electrical faults, such as power line issues, driver failures, or encoder signal abnormalities, timely inspection and maintenance are also necessary.
Environmental factors. For example, harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, or dust may cause aging, wear, or performance degradation of robot components. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that robots operate in a suitable environment and undergo regular cleaning and maintenance.
Improper operation. The operator's unfamiliarity, misoperation, or violation of the robot may lead to malfunctions. Therefore, strict training and assessment of operators to ensure they are familiar with the operating norms and precautions of robots is the key to reducing the occurrence of failures.
Lack of maintenance and upkeep. Failure to perform proper maintenance can affect the performance and stability of the robot. Regular inspection and maintenance of welding robots, timely detection and replacement of aging or severely worn components, can ensure the long-term stable operation of the robot.
The above is an introduction to the common causes of faults in 6-axis welding robots. I hope it can help everyone. Understanding these reasons and taking corresponding measures for prevention and maintenance can ensure the stable operation of robots and improve production efficiency.
