The first fully automatic laser tailor welding production line in China

China's first fully automated laser tailor welding production line, jointly developed by the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the world's top 500 Japanese IHI company, has recently arrived.

On the 27th, the reporter saw at the operation site that after two steel plates with different thicknesses were automatically fed through the rotary table, the two robots quickly and easily sucked up the two steel sheets and placed them on the clamping table. Then, two The steel plates waiting to be welded are automatically positioned accurately and clamped tightly. At this time, the laser head quickly moves linearly from one end to the other. Two 500 mm long steel plates with different thicknesses were successfully welded in only 14 seconds. Moreover, the accuracy of the entire production line can be controlled within 0.1 mm, which is equivalent to only one hair thread thickness. The place where the laser is welded, like a black line drawn with a pencil, is very smooth and smooth. Fully automatic laser welding, fast speed, good precision, far more than the general welding "high-light". All of its work processes can be monitored through intelligent manual interfaces anytime, anywhere.

This laser tailor-welding production line, on the basis of the introduction and digestion of foreign advanced technology, has created a new technological achievement that extends the welding length of the production line from 1 meter to 1.65 meters. Its successful development is a major scientific and technological achievement made by China in the field of manufacturing. "It will play an important role in promoting the technological advancement of China's steel companies and automobile manufacturers." Wang Yuechao, member of the National 863 Expert Committee and director of the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony held in Shenyang on the 27th.
